This week\u2019s study is from <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2: 1-12<\/span>. The Psalm begins by asking the question \u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05e8\u05b8\u05d2\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc \u05d2\u05d5\u05b9\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd \u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05d0\u05bb\u05de\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d9\u05b6\u05d4\u05b0\u05d2\u05d5\u05bc-\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7: <\/span>2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing? (NASB)<\/span> The author goes on to say that the kings and rulers of the earth take counsel and stand against the Lord God and his Mashiach (\u05de\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d7\u05d5\u05b9, anointed one, <\/span>2:2<\/span>). The Hebrew phrase \u05e0\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b0\u05e7\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05de\u05d5\u05b9\u05e1\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b5\u05d9\u05de\u05d5\u05b9 means <\/span>\u201cto tear their fetters\u201d<\/span> or<\/span> \u201cto burst their bonds\u201d<\/span> is a Hebraic metaphor for rebellion against the Lord and his Messiah. The casting away of their cords (<\/span>2:3<\/span>) is suggestive these kings and rulers want nothing to do with God and the One He establishes. The Scriptures then tell us that the Lord God Almighty scoffs at the nations and He will speak to the nations saying \u05d5\u05b7\u05d0\u05b2\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e0\u05b8\u05e1\u05b7\u05db\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05de\u05b7\u05dc\u05b0\u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05e6\u05b4\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05df \u05d4\u05b7\u05e8-\u05e7\u05b8\u05d3\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9 <\/span>\u201cBut as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.\u201d<\/span> The Lord then says \u05d0\u05b2\u05e1\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05dc \u05d7\u05b9\u05e7 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b8\u05de\u05b7\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b5\u05dc\u05b7\u05d9 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b2\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d9\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d3\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05da\u05b8: <\/span>\u201cI will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, \u2018You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.\u201d <\/span>This son that the Lord has begotten, He will give dominion and power over them (<\/span>2:8-9<\/span>) and the kings and judges of the earth are warned to worship the Lord with reverence showing respect and to rejoice with the fear of the Lord in trembling. The nations of the earth are then warned to \u05e0\u05b7\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b0\u05e7\u05d5\u05bc-\u05d1\u05b7\u05e8 \u05e4\u05bc\u05b6\u05df-\u05d9\u05b6\u05d0\u05b1\u05e0\u05b7\u05e3 | \u05d5\u05b0\u05ea\u05b9\u05d0\u05d1\u05b0\u05d3\u05d5\u05bc \u05d3\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05da\u05b0 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9-\u05d9\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05e2\u05b7\u05e8 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05de\u05b0\u05e2\u05b7\u05d8 \u05d0\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d0\u05b7\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b5\u05d9 \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05d7\u05d5\u05b9\u05e1\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d1\u05d5\u05b9: <\/span>\u201cDo homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>2:12<\/span>). The Scriptures literally say \u05e0\u05b7\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b0\u05e7\u05d5\u05bc-\u05d1\u05b7\u05e8 <\/span>\u201ckiss the son\u201d<\/span> where <\/span>\u201cto kiss\u201d<\/span> the Son is an act of submission (<\/span>1 Samuel 10:1<\/span>) and the word <\/span>\u201cSon\u201d<\/span> is not the usual Hebrew word used but an Aramaic word for Son (\u05d1\u05b7\u05e8, bar). It is also interesting to discover while studying the Apostolic Writings, <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2<\/span> is used quite frequently and the understanding of these Scriptures in the minds of the apostles is that these Scriptures are very messianic in nature. This week we will look at the various uses of <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2<\/span> throughout the NT and discuss how these Scriptures have come to be used as a proof text documenting Yeshua the Messiah the only begotten Son of God in the writings of the Tanach.

He said: \u201cYou are as dear to me as a son to a father (abba), pure as if this day I had created you.\u201d 2:8 Ask me and I will give the riches of the Gentiles as your inheritance, the rulers of the ends of the earth as your holding. 2:9 You will shatter them as with a rod of iron, like a potter\u2019s vessel you will break them. 2:10 And now, O kings, grow wise; accept discipline, O princes of the earth. 2:11 Worship in the presence of the Lord with fear, and pray with trembling. 2:12 Accept instruction lest he be angry, and you lose your way; for his wrath will tarry a little.

Tehillim \/ Psalms Chapter 2
<\/span><\/strong>2:1 Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things? 2:2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ; 2:3 saying, Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us. 2:4 He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them. 2:5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury. 2:6 But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain, 2:7 declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee. 2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession. 2:9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter\u2019s vessel. 2:10 Now therefore understand, ye kings: be instructed, all ye that judge the earth. 2:11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling. 2:12 Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and ye should perish from the righteous way: whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The first occurrence of <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2<\/span> in the Apostolic Writings is taken from <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2:1-2<\/span> and used by Peter and John while speaking to the Jewish leadership in<\/span> Acts 4:25-26.<\/span><\/p>\n

Acts 4:18
<\/span><\/strong>4:18 And when they had summoned them, they commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 4:19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, \u2018Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge; 4:20 for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.\u2019 4:21 When they had threatened them further, they let them go (finding no basis on which to punish them) on account of the people, because they were all glorifying God for what had happened; 4:22 for the man was more than forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed. 4:23 When they had been released, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 4:24 And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God with one accord and said, \u2018O Lord, it is You who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 4:25 who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David Your servant, said, \u2018Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples devise futile things? 4:26 \u2018The kings of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together Against the Lord and against His Christ.\u2019 4:27 \u2018For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 4:28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

The disciples after having been warned not to teach or speak of Yeshua in <\/span>Acts 4:25-26<\/span> use <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2<\/span> to recognize that the nations and their leaders rage against God and against Yeshua, and that the things the rulers devise against God is futile, the Lord will prevail. The Lord\u2019s prevailing is in the resurrection and the glory of the holy servant Yeshua the Messiah. <\/span><\/p>\n

The next reference from <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2<\/span> is taken from <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2:7<\/span> and used by the Apostles in <\/span>Acts 13:3, Hebrews 1:5 and 5:5<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Acts 13:33
<\/span><\/strong>13:33 that God has fulfilled this promise to our children in that He raised up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, \u2018You are My Son; today have begotten You.\u2019 (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

Hebrews 1:5
<\/span><\/strong>1:5 For to which of the angels did He ever say, \u2018You are My Son, Today I have begotten You\u2019? And again, \u2018I will be a Father to Him And He shall be a Son to Me\u2019?<\/span><\/p>\n

Hebrews 5:5
<\/span><\/strong>5:5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, \u2018You are My Son, Today I have begotten You\u2019; (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the Scripture references found in the Apostolic Writings, Paul and Barnabas in <\/span>Acts 13:33<\/span> say that God has fulfilled His promise to their children by raising Yeshua up, again here we find the resurrection as the proof of who Yeshua is, the Messiah, the chosen one of God and His life was laid down on our behalf. The scripture from <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2:7<\/span> is used as a proof text of who Yeshua is, the Son of the living God. In the book of Hebrews, the author writes which of the Angels did God say Today you are My son (<\/span>Hebrews 1:5<\/span>). The glorification of the Son rests upon the fact that Yeshua is the son of the Father in Heaven. The King glorifies His only Son and the Scriptures indicate that it is in the son-ship of Christ the Messiah that authority has been given. <\/span><\/p>\n

As noted above, the Apostles reference to <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2:7<\/span> is interesting, but it is particularly interesting to examine the differences that we find in translation between the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts shown below.<\/span><\/p>\n

The proclamation of the covenant of God is deeply rooted within the concept of numbering or counting taking for example from <\/span><\/a>Parashat Emor (<\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 23:13-21<\/span>). The numbering (counting) of days and parts of the offerings is a very important part of the system of Korbanot (Sacrifices) in the Torah. In <\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 23:12-21<\/span> Moshe instructs the priests to be careful to measure the grain offering and to count the days following the Shabbat in order to bring a new grain offering before the Lord (<\/span>\u05d8\u05d5 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e1\u05b0\u05e4\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b6\u05dd \u05dc\u05b8\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05de\u05b4\u05de\u05bc\u05b8\u05d7\u05b3\u05e8\u05b7\u05ea \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05ea \u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b2\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d0\u05b2\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05e2\u05b9\u05de\u05b6\u05e8 \u05d4\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b0\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc\u05e4\u05b8\u05d4 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05d1\u05b7\u05e2 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05ea\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea \u05ea\u05bc\u05b0\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05de\u05b9\u05ea \u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05d9\u05e0\u05b8\u05d4: \u05d8\u05d6 \u05e2\u05b7\u05d3 \u05de\u05b4\u05de\u05bc\u05b8\u05d7\u05b3\u05e8\u05b7\u05ea \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05ea \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b0\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05e2\u05b4\u05ea \u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05e1\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc \u05d7\u05b2\u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b4\u05e7\u05b0\u05e8\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b6\u05dd \u05de\u05b4\u05e0\u05b0\u05d7\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d7\u05b2\u05d3\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b7\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05b8\u05d4, <\/span>23:15 ‘You shall also count for yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete sabbaths. 23:16 ‘You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh sabbath; then you shall present a new grain offering to the Lord.

23:17 ‘You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of a fine flour, baked with leaven as first fruits to the Lord. 23:18 ‘Along with the bread you shall present seven one year old male lambs without defect, and a bull of the herd and two rams; they are to be a burnt offering to the Lord, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord. 23:19 ‘You shall also offer one male goat for a sin offering and two male lambs one year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 23:20 ‘The priest shall then wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering with two lambs before the Lord; they are to be holy to the Lord for the priest. 23:21 ‘On this same day you shall make a proclamation as well; you are to have a holy convocation.

The rabbis who translated Targum Pseudo-Jonathan into Aramaic took the meaning of the phrase <\/span>\u05d0\u05b2\u05e1\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b6\u05dc \u05d7\u05b9\u05e7<\/span> to be rooted in covenant language and therefore translated the text to say <\/span>\u201ctell of the covenant\u201d<\/span> of the Lord. Throughout the Scriptures, in the <\/span><\/a>Torah, we learn that relationships, those specifically with the Lord, are established in the covenantal form. A covenant that is made with the Lord is permanent, firm, and unmovable. This is the meaning we derive from the Aramaic text, the word <\/span>\u05e7\u05d9\u05de\u05d0<\/span> that is taken from the Hebrew word <\/span>\u05e7\u05d5\u05dd<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cto raise, or stand up,\u201d<\/span> \u05e7\u05d9\u05de\u05d0<\/span> therefore has the meaning <\/span>\u201cexistence, duration, permanence,\u201d<\/span> the covenant of God is permanent and unmoving. This draws to memory the declaration of the Lord in <\/span><\/a>Parashat Bekhukotai (<\/span>Vayikra \/ Leviticus 26:9-12<\/span>) the Scriptures say <\/span>\u05d5\u05b7\u05d4\u05b2\u05e7\u05b4\u05d9\u05de\u05b9\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b4\u05ea\u05bc\u05b0\u05db\u05b6\u05dd<\/span> \u201cI will establish my covenant with you\u201d<\/span> and the word for establishing is the same word <\/span>\u05d9\u05e7\u05d5\u05dd<\/span> \/ <\/span>\u05e7\u05d9\u05de\u05d0<\/span> in the establishment or raising up of the covenant indicating the permanence of the covenant that God is making with us.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n

The Aramaic translation goes on to say \u201c<\/span>He said to me, beloved one, I will be like a Father to you, innocent as if this day I created you .\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>\u05d0\u05e9\u05ea\u05e2\u05d9 \u05e7\u05d9\u05de\u05d0 \u05d3\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05dc\u05d9 \u05d7\u05d1\u05d9\u05d1 \u05db\u05d1\u05e8 \u05dc\u05d0\u05d1\u05d0 \u05d0\u05ea \u05dc\u05d9 \u05d0\u05e0\u05ea \u05d6\u05db\u05d0\u05d4 \u05db\u05d0\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5 \u05d9\u05d5\u05de\u05d0 \u05d3\u05d9\u05df \u05d1\u05e8\u05d9\u05ea\u05da\u05c3<\/span>). There is an obvious difficulty with this translation from the Hebrew text, if this is a reference to the eternal Son of God (Yeshua the Messiah), the living Word of God (<\/span>John 1:1-14<\/span>), then His being <\/span>\u201ccreated\u201d <\/span>poses a problem, the Word (Memra, <\/span>\u05de\u05b5\u05d9\u05de\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0<\/span>) of the Lord is eternal and does not pass away. But as with any translation, we need to return to the Masoretic text (Hebrew) in order to sort out these difficulties. It is also important to keep in mind that the Targum translation is considered a later translation and scholars believe the translation came even as late as the 8th Century CE. It is also interesting that <\/span><\/a>Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo ben Isaac, 1040-1105 CE), author of influential Biblical and Talmudic commentaries does not mention Targum Pseudo Jonathan. Therefore, this translation, being a late translation, it may be possible that the translator of the Aramaic was aware of the use of this Scripture in the Apostolic Writings and translated the <\/span>\u201cSon\u201d<\/span> as having been <\/span>\u201ccreated\u201d<\/span> knowing the difficulty it would present for those who believed that Yeshua is eternal as the Word of the Living God become flesh (<\/span>John 1:1-14<\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, let\u2019s consider a much earlier translation, the <\/span><\/a>Septuagint (LXX) the oldest known Greek translation of the Tanach (OT) dated to the 3rd century BCE, said to have been translated by 72 Hebrew scholars or rabbis. The Greek translation of the LXX predates Yeshua and Christianity and therefore provides an earlier more reliable translation of the Masoretic text than that of the Targumim. I say more reliable since a anti-Christian (anti-Yeshua) sentiment would be absent from the minds of the translators.

Here, we find the LXX us of the word \u03b3\u03b5\u03b3\u03b5\u03bd\u03bd\u03b7\u03ba\u03b1 from the Greek stem \u03b3\u03b5\u03bd\u03bd\u03ce meaning <\/span>\u201cto engender, beget, give rise to, offspring.\u201d<\/span> The LXX translation of the Masoretic text appears to be correct in the sense of the use of the Hebrew word <\/span>\u05d9\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d3\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05da\u05b8<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cto give birth, beget, give rise to.\u201d<\/span> The LXX confirms that very early it is believed that God can beget a son, and this verse (<\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2:7<\/span>) in its use by the Apostles in the Scriptures suggests they are understood to be Messianic in nature. <\/span><\/p>\n

The next set of Scriptures that utilize <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2<\/span> are <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2:8-9<\/span> in<\/span> Revelation 2:26-27, 12:5<\/span>, and <\/span>19:15. <\/span><\/p>\n

Revelation 2:26-27
<\/span><\/strong>2:26 \u2018He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations; 2:27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces, as I also have received authority from My Father; (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

Revelation 12:5
<\/span><\/strong>12:5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

Revelation 19:15
<\/span><\/strong>19:15 From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

These Scriptures utilize <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2:8-9<\/span> as a reference to the <\/span>\u201crod of iron\u201d<\/span> and the authority our Father in Heaven has given Yeshua. In each reference here found in <\/span>Revelation<\/span> is with respect to the ruling of nations over kings and peoples throughout the earth.

In this place of Shiloh the tabernacle was set up after the conquest of the Promised Land according to <\/span>Joshua 18:1-10<\/span>. Was this place of rest an peace named Shiloh and was the Ark of the Covenant placed there because of the Torah reference to Shiloh in Sefer Bereshit? The Tabernacle remained in Shiloh until the Ark of the Covenant fell into the hands of the Philistines. This location (Shiloh) was also referred to by the prophet Jeremiah (<\/span>Jeremiah 7:12-14, 26:4-9<\/span>) approximately 500 years after the destruction of that place. Looking at a few translations (English, Latin, and Greek) on <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 49:10<\/span> there does appear to be some differences in opinion on the meaning of the Hebrew text (English:<\/span> \u201cuntil Shiloh comes,\u201d<\/span> Latin: <\/span>\u201che who is to be sent,\u201d<\/span> and Greek: <\/span>\u201cuntil that which is his shall come to Shiloh\u201d<\/span>). Needless to say though, the text clearly states that this scepter will not part from Judah until the coming of Shiloh. <\/span><\/p>\n

Each of these translations say essentially the same thing <\/span>\u05e2\u05b7\u05d3 \u05d3\u05b0\u05d9\u05b5\u05d9\u05ea\u05b5\u05d9 \u05de\u05b0\u05e9\u05b4\u05d9\u05d7\u05b8\u05d0<\/span> (Onkelos, <\/span>\u201cuntil Messiah comes\u201d<\/span>), <\/span>\u05e2\u05d3 \u05d6\u05de\u05df \u05d3\u05d9 \u05d9\u05d9\u05ea\u05d9 \u05de\u05dc\u05db\u05d0 \u05de\u05e9\u05d9\u05d7\u05d0<\/span> (Pseudo-Jonathan, <\/span>\u201cuntil the time the King Messiah comes\u201d<\/span>), <\/span>\u05e2\u05d3\u05d6\u05de\u05df \u05d3\u05d9\u05d9\u05ea\u05d9 \u05de\u05dc\u05db\u05d0 \u05de\u05e9\u05d9\u05d7\u05d0<\/span> (Neofiti, <\/span>\u201cuntil the King Messiah comes\u201d<\/span>), <\/span>\u05e2\u05d3\u05d6\u05de\u05df \u05d3\u05d9\u05d9\u05ea\u05d9 \u05de\u05dc\u05db\u05d0 \u05d3\u05de\u05e9\u05d9\u05d7\u05d0<\/span> (FTP Genesis, <\/span>\u201cuntil the King Messiah comes\u201d<\/span>), and <\/span>\u05e2\u05d3\u05d6\u05de\u05df \u05d3\u05d9\u05d9\u05ea\u05d9 \u05de\u05dc\u05db\u05d0 \u05d3\u05de\u05e9\u05d9\u05d7\u05d0<\/span> (FTV Genesis, <\/span>\u201cuntil the King Messiah comes\u201d<\/span>). As a result of the Aramaic translations, there is much to be said in the Rabbinic literature, such as in <\/span><\/a>Midrash Rabbah on Bereshit (Genesis) on the messianic nature of this verse centered on the scepter (staff) that will not depart from Judah. The rabbinic literature states that this verse alludes to the Messiah Son of David (see Midrash Rabbah on <\/span>Genesis 97, 98 parashah 8, and 99 parashah 8<\/span>). The main interpretation that we can take from the Midrashic literature is that these verses are in fact messianic in nature! <\/span><\/p>\n

While searching the Targumim for the Aramaic translations of this verse (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 49:10<\/span>) the FTP and FTV Genesis provides us with additional ancient texts that confirm the other Targum translations. While attempting to find information on these Targumim (FTP and FTV GN) I come across a book titled <\/span>\u201cTehiyyat Ha-Metim: The Resurrection of the Dead in the Palestinian Targums of the Pentateuch and Parallel Traditions in Classical Rabbinic Literature\u201d<\/span> by Harry Sysling. Harry Sysling looks at the rabbinic concept of the <\/span>\u201cTehiyyat Ha-Metim,\u201d<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cthe revivification of the dead\u201d<\/span> referring to the future reunion of the body and soul (the Resurrection). In the Rabbinic literature it is taught when the human body dies, its soul leaves the body. On page 31 of Harry Sysling\u2019s book he describes the FTP and FTV as being <\/span>\u201cFragment-Targums\u201d<\/span> (FT); these Targum fragments are regarded as critical glosses (adding an explanatory note) to the Targum Onkelos. Scholars are not certain whether these Targumim were part of a complete Targum or were only used as select passages for liturgy during the festivals. The FT Targumim was transmitted to us in several MSS which show considerable differences when compared, essentially these were translations with commentary. The edition of MSS P (FTP) was published by <\/span>M. Ginsburg in 1899<\/span>, and contained supplements from MSS V (FTV). Little can be said on the dating of the FT Targumim, scholars have concluded that the Aramaic does not belong to the Middle Aramaic and has affinities with older texts written in standard literary Aramaic. Scholars have concluded that the FTP and FTV are fairly reliable witnesses to Jewish Palestinian Aramaic of the late period of Aramaic between 200-700 CE. This date is consistent with the compilation of the Targum Onkelos where Onkelos is the author who is attributed to having made the Aramaic translation of the Pentateuch in the 2nd century CE. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span><\/a>Ginsburg\u2019s Masoretic text, there is a Qere and Ketiv noted on the word \u201cShiloh\u201d (<\/span>\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0-\u05d9\u05b8\u05e1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05d1\u05b6\u05d8 \u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d3\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b0\u05d7\u05b9\u05e7\u05b5\u05e7 \u05de\u05b4\u05d1\u05bc\u05b5\u05d9\u05df \u05e8\u05b7\u05d2\u05b0\u05dc\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5 \u05e2\u05b7\u05d3 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9-\u05d9\u05b8\u05d1\u05b9\u05d0 <\/span>\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4<\/span> \u05d5\u05b0\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e7\u05bc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05ea \u05e2\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd <\/span>) this note is indicated by the word <\/span>\u201cShiloh\u201d<\/span> shown in bold above. The note in the marginal Masorah gives the Qere (what is to be read) saying that what is written is <\/span>\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4<\/span> and what is to be read is <\/span>\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9<\/span>. It appears that the Masorah is providing a \u201cplene\u201d (full) spelling of the word as opposed to the defective spelling. Noted earlier, the NASB translates this as <\/span>\u201cuntil Shiloh comes,\u201d<\/span> the translators understood Shiloh to be a noun whereas the NIV and RSV say <\/span>\u201cuntil he comes to whom it belongs.\u201d<\/span> It appears that the NIV and RSV take the reading from the Masorah <\/span>\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9<\/span>, and \/ or from the LXX that reads<\/span> \u1f15\u03c9\u03c2 \u1f02\u03bd \u1f14\u03bb\u03b8\u1fc3 \u03c4\u1f70 \u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03ba\u03b5\u1f77\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03b1 \u03b1\u1f50\u03c4\u1ff7 saying <\/span>\u201cuntil that which is reserved comes to him.\u201d<\/span> This suggests that the translators of both the English and Greek translations read the Qere from the Masorah <\/span>\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc\u05d5\u05b9<\/span> to be <\/span>\u05e9\u05c1 + \u05dc\u05d5<\/span>\u05b9 where the letter \u201cshin\u201d (<\/span>\u05e9<\/span>) most of the time acts as a conjunction, however in this construction <\/span>\u05e9<\/span> acts as a pronoun <\/span>\u201cused to indicate a specific person or thing\u201d<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cthat is to him\u201d <\/span>or <\/span>\u201cthat what belongs to him.\u201d<\/span> The important point here is that our attention is drawn to the word <\/span>\u201cShiloh\u201d<\/span> in both the Masoretic text and the Targumim to be referring to one who will come that is associated with ruling with a scepter and to him will be the obedience of the peoples. This sounds a lot of what is being described in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span><\/a>Messianic expectation of this verse indicates that the one who is coming will be from the tribe of Judah. He will be a ruler and king over Israel. He will gather the peoples (note that in each case, both Hebrew and Aramaic that peoples is written in the plural form <\/span>\u05e2\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/span>). The gathering of the peoples (<\/span>\u05e2\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd<\/span>) draws a parallel with the covenant blessing God gave to Abraham in <\/span><\/a>Parashat Lech Lecha (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 12:3<\/span>) <\/span>\u05d2 \u05d5\u05b7\u05d0\u05b2\u05d1\u05b8\u05e8\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05d4 \u05de\u05b0\u05d1\u05b8\u05e8\u05b2\u05db\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8 \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b0\u05e7\u05b7\u05dc\u05bc\u05b6\u05dc\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05d0\u05b8\u05d0\u05b9\u05e8 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b0\u05db\u05d5\u05bc \u05d1\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05db\u05bc\u05b9\u05dc \u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05d7\u05b9\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b2\u05d3\u05b8\u05de\u05b8\u05d4<\/span> that <\/span>\u201cin your seed all the families, nations, and peoples of the earth will be blessed.\u201d<\/span> (Note also that after the <\/span><\/a>Akedah God explicitly says <\/span>\u201cin your seed\u201d<\/span> all the families will be blessed.) This Shiloh that comes will command the obedience of the people meaning that he will draw their willing allegiance. Who else could this possibly be than the Messiah Yeshua Himself? The words Jacob makes about Judah singles out Judah stating the blessing that will come upon all peoples will be given through the tribe of Judah that is descended from Abraham. The individual that comes from the tribe of Judah will rule and be victorious to gather the allegiance of the peoples of the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

As we study this verse <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 49:10<\/span>, this one who will come reminds us of the very first prophecy in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 3:15<\/span> that states <\/span>\u05d8\u05d5 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b5\u05d9\u05d1\u05b8\u05d4 | \u05d0\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea \u05d1\u05bc\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b5\u05d9\u05df \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b4\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b5\u05d9\u05df \u05d6\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05e2\u05b2\u05da\u05b8 \u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b5\u05d9\u05df \u05d6\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05e2\u05b8\u05d4\u05bc \u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e4\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05e8\u05b9\u05d0\u05e9\u05c1 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05ea\u05bc\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e4\u05b6\u05e0\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc \u05e2\u05b8\u05e7\u05b5\u05d1<\/span> through the <\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/a>seed of the woman\u201d<\/span> would come one who would slay the serpent (the deceiver). He (the Messiah) will crush your head (<\/span>\u05e8\u05b9\u05d0\u05e9\u05c1<\/span>) and that the serpent will crush his heal (<\/span>\u05e2\u05b8\u05e7\u05b5\u05d1<\/span>). Eve (Chavah) probably thought that her first born son would do this thing but it turned out her son Cain was a murderer. The slaying of righteous Abel required that the promised <\/span>\u201cseed\u201d<\/span> would descend through another child and we read that a third son was born whose name was Seth. The Scriptures state in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 4:26<\/span> \u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05ea \u05d2\u05bc\u05b7\u05dd-\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d9\u05bb\u05dc\u05bc\u05b7\u05d3-\u05d1\u05bc\u05b5\u05df \u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b4\u05e7\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05de\u05d5\u05b9 \u05d0\u05b1\u05e0\u05d5\u05b9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05d0\u05b8\u05d6 \u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d7\u05b7\u05dc \u05dc\u05b4\u05e7\u05b0\u05e8\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05dd \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05b8\u05d4<\/span> that it is the descendants of Seth (<\/span>\u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05ea<\/span>) who began to call upon the name of the Lord (<\/span>\u05dc\u05b4\u05e7\u05b0\u05e8\u05b9\u05d0 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05dd \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05b8\u05d4<\/span>). <\/span>Bereshit 4:26<\/span> indicates for us that these sons of Seth had faith in God who would deliver mankind by the promise seed God had declared to Adam and Chavah. From this point on the world became increasingly evil and the Scriptures say that God saw the men of the earth and that their hearts were constant to do evil every day according to <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 6:1-6<\/span> (<\/span>\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e8\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05e8\u05b8\u05e2\u05b7\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05d3\u05b8\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5 \u05d5\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05dc-\u05d9\u05b5\u05e6\u05b6\u05e8 \u05de\u05b7\u05d7\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05d1\u05b9\u05ea \u05dc\u05b4\u05d1\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9 \u05e8\u05b7\u05e7 \u05e8\u05b7\u05e2 \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05d4\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd<\/span>). God also saw that Noach was the only Tzaddik (Righteous man) remaining on the earth (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 6:6-9<\/span>). After the great flood, God chose Shem through who the line of the Messiah would come where Noach prophesied saying <\/span>\u05d5\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b9\u05d0\u05de\u05b6\u05e8 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05da\u05b0 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d9 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05dd \u05d5\u05b4\u05d9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9 \u05db\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05e2\u05b7\u05df \u05e2\u05b6\u05d1\u05b6\u05d3 \u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9<\/span> that the blessing would come through <\/span><\/a>Shem and not through Canaan or Japheth. Note also that \u201cShem\u201d (<\/span>\u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05dd<\/span>) means <\/span>\u201cname\u201d<\/span> and so there is a self revelation that is taking place, it is in <\/span>\u201cthe name\u201d<\/span> that God continues His promise and His blessing and ultimately in the name of Yeshua whereby we are saved (<\/span>Acts 4:12<\/span>). Abraham was descended from Shem by the 10<\/span>th <\/span>generation from Noach. Abraham was the first to offer up his only begotten son (his own promised seed) as a sacrifice on <\/span><\/a>Mount Moriah in the exact location of the future <\/span><\/a>Temple in Jerusalem. In Jewish tradition this test is known as the Akedah <\/span>\u05e2\u05e7\u05d3\u05d4<\/span> meaning <\/span>\u201cbinding.\u201d<\/span> The Akedah was a representation of our Father\u2019s sacrifice of the Son of God for the sins of humanity.

Throughout the lives of the patriarchs in Sefer Bereshit (Genesis) God promises and reiterates the covenant (Abraham: <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 12:1-3, 13:14-18, 15:4-5, 17:1-8, 18:18, and 22:18<\/span>, Isaac: <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 26:3-4 and 26:23-24<\/span>, and Jacob: <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 28:10-14 and 35:9-12<\/span>). The coming of the <\/span><\/a>seed of Abraham was reaffirmed by God no less than 10 times in the <\/span><\/a>Torah. As a result, it came to be known that the Redeemer would come from the <\/span>\u201cGod of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>\u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4\u05b8\u05dd \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05d7\u05b8\u05e7 \u05d5\u05b5\u05d0\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e7\u05b9\u05d1<\/span>) as God declares to Moshe and Moshe writes\/states in <\/span>Shemot \/ Exodus 3:6 and 3:15<\/span>. Yeshua Himself stated that<\/span> \u201cSalvation is from the Jews\u201d<\/span> according to <\/span>John 4:22<\/span> to the woman at the well. It is here at the end of the life of Jacob, the end of the Patriarchal line that we learn again of the coming Redeemer. Before Jacob died he called his sons together in order to bless them as we read in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 49:1-28<\/span>. Jacob foretold that from the tribe of Judah would come the Messiah. The scepter will not depart from Judah nor shall the staff from between his feet until Shiloh comes and to him be the obedience of the peoples (<\/span>49:10<\/span>). <\/span><\/p>\n

What we learn from this study on <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2:8-9<\/span> and <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 49:10<\/span> along with the various translations into English, Latin, Greek, and Aramaic, the meaning of the word <\/span>\u201cShiloh\u201d<\/span> has been debated among scholars and translators throughout time. According to the Hebrew translation, the word <\/span>\u201cShiloh\u201d<\/span> comes from the word <\/span>\u201cshe-lo\u201d<\/span> (<\/span><\/a>Marginal Masorah) meaning <\/span>\u201cthat is his\u201d<\/span> or <\/span>\u201cthat belongs to him.\u201d<\/span> This scepter refers to <\/span>\u201ckingly authority\u201d<\/span> and that kingly authority would be given in the tribe of Judah until the Messiah appears at which time he will reign as the supreme leader of all peoples. This interpretation is the basis for the Aramaic translations having all written (translated) the Hebrew text as <\/span>\u05de\u05dc\u05db\u05d0 \u05de\u05e9\u05d9\u05d7\u05d0<\/span> \u201cthe king messiah.\u201d<\/span> As a result of this, <\/span>\u201cShiloh\u201d<\/span> refers to the establishment of the kingdom of God upon the earth where we get the image of the coming Messiah. If the word <\/span>\u201cShiloh\u201d<\/span> is to be correctly understood as a proper name, then this just may be the very first occurrence of a name given to the Messiah in the Scriptures, the one in whom peace and rest comes and in the naming of the place \u201cShiloh\u201d where the Ark of the Covenant rested for a time all of which is directing our attention to Yeshua the Messiah, our atonement will be found and is today in Yeshua the Messiah! Despite the various translations of the Hebrew text and disagreement on the meaning of the word <\/span>\u201cShiloh\u201d<\/span> it cannot be argued that Jacob\u2019s blessing gives us the prophetic authority that the tribe of Judah would be through whom the Messiah would appear. This is the basis for the hope of <\/span><\/a>Mashiach ben David (<\/span>\u05de\u05e9\u05d9\u05d7 \u05d1\u05df-\u05d3\u05d5\u05d3<\/span>) <\/span>\u201cMessiah Son of David,\u201d<\/span> its origin begins starting with <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 49:10<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to Moshe in Sefer Bereshit (Book of Genesis) the Promised Seed was to be born of a woman (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 3:15<\/span>) and was to dwell in the <\/span>\u201ctents of Shem\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 9:26<\/span>, <\/span>\u05db\u05d6 \u05d9\u05b7\u05e4\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b0 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05e4\u05b6\u05ea \u05d5\u05b0\u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05db\u05bc\u05b9\u05df \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4\u05b3\u05dc\u05b5\u05d9-\u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05dd \u05d5\u05b4\u05d9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9 \u05db\u05b0\u05e0\u05b7\u05e2\u05b7\u05df \u05e2\u05b6\u05d1\u05b6\u05d3 \u05dc\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9<\/span>); to dwell in the <\/span>\u201ctents of the Name\u201d<\/span> in the Name of the Lord God Almighty. Jacob\u2019s prophecy states <\/span>\u05d7 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d3\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d9\u05d5\u05b9\u05d3\u05d5\u05bc\u05da\u05b8 \u05d0\u05b7\u05d7\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8 \u05d9\u05b8\u05d3\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e2\u05b9\u05e8\u05b6\u05e3 \u05d0\u05b9\u05d9\u05b0\u05d1\u05b6\u05d9\u05da\u05b8 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05d5\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b8\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05da\u05b8: \u05d8 \u05d2\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d9\u05b5\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d3\u05b8\u05d4 \u05de\u05b4\u05d8\u05bc\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05e3 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea\u05b8 \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05e8\u05b7\u05e2 \u05e8\u05b8\u05d1\u05b7\u05e5 \u05db\u05bc\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d9\u05b5\u05d4 \u05d5\u05bc\u05db\u05b0\u05dc\u05b8\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d0 \u05de\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b0\u05e7\u05b4\u05d9\u05de\u05b6\u05e0\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc:<\/span> 49:8 \u2018Judah, your brothers shall praise you; Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; Your father\u2019s sons shall bow down to you. 49:9 \u2018Judah is a lion\u2019s whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He couches, he lies down as a lion, And as a lion, who dares rouse him up? (NASB)<\/span> The tribe of Judah (Yehuda) will be known as <\/span>\u05d2\u05bc\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8 \u05d0\u05b7\u05e8\u05b0\u05d9\u05b5\u05d4<\/span> a <\/span>\u201cYoung Lion\u201d<\/span> who will be praised and made victorious and to rule over the others (the other tribes) and Scripture says <\/span>\u201cwho will rouse him up\u201d<\/span> meaning who would dare come against him. From the tribe of Judah would come the Messiah, the anointed King of Israel and whose authority would obtain the loyalty and obedience of all the peoples of the World (<\/span>49:10<\/span>). Remember, one day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that He is Lord! (<\/span>Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:9-11, Isaiah 45:23<\/span>) As a result, the prophets declare and foretell the greatness of this <\/span>\u201cYoung Lion\u201d<\/span> that comes from the tribe of Judah, He is none other than Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of God. Therefore, the author of <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2<\/span> was writing of God\u2019s Messiah, the One whom God has begotten, and who will rule with an iron scepter who will be given power and authority forever and ever, Amen! The apostles understood <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 2<\/span> to be very messianic in nature and used these Scriptures to support their belief of Who Yeshua is. He is the One in whom every knee will bow and every tongue will confess, that He is Lord of Lords and King of Kings, the God Almighty. Praise this Holy Name forever and ever. Amen! Let\u2019s pray.<\/span><\/p>\n
