Cherie Miller’s blog question, on July 1st, about reactions to this year’s PWOC theme got my curiosity peaked about the word ‘scepter’. How is it used in the Bible? Doing a little research took me to Genesis 49:10(AKJV) which tells us, “The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and to him shall the gathering of the people be.”
Wow, who is Shiloh, I wondered? Exactly what is this scripture telling me? More research and more enlightenment! Shiloh is the Messiah – of course we know the Messiah is Jesus Christ. Shiloh has come – He holds the scepter and “to him shall the gathering of the people be.” Jesus is extending His scepter to the world. Wonderful, beautiful, awesome…
