I'm gonna copy/paste a lot of text today....just to make it look like I wrote a LOT! 8 “Judah,[b] your brothers will praise you; your hand will be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s sons will bow down to you. 9 You are a lion’s cub, Judah; you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness—who dares to rouse him? 10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,[c] until he to whom it belongs[d] shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his. 11 He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes. 12 His eyes will be darker than wine, his teeth whiter than milk.[e] This passage is interesting to me. Knowing that Judah's line is where Jesus comes from. It could just be that hind sight is 20/20...but a lot of this could be read as a description of Jesus 10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,[c] until he to whom it belongs[d] shall come
The more we read....the more I can see that the entire Bible is a perfectly contained message. From beginning to end. It all fits together. It always points in the same direction. Its pretty amazing. The only thing that makes me mad is that this stuff was written over thousands of years....and 95% of it was geared toward the coming of Jesus. And then he came and taught for 3 years, and the only thing we are left with is Revelation looking forward. Think about that for a second. The old testament is full of prophecy and looking forward.....and then it all stops. No more prophecy. Only a very strange description of "the end". There's a huge gap in there. anyway....just rambling. My mind is a weird place.
