What Wont Depart Before Jesus Comes?

Genesis 49:10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes;And to Him shall be the obedience of the people. 
 

Prophecy given some 1700 yrs before Jesus came.  The scepter represents dominion & power of the Israel, particularly the kings of Judah's power to execute life or death over the people (capital punishment). The royal throne was ripped from Judah at the time of the last Babylonian captivity but they still had their authority to rule themselves until the Roman Procurator Caponius took that away in 6 or 7 A.D.  The Jewish Sanhedrin actually accused the Torah, Gods Word, of failing, because of this prophecy and no Messiah yet, at least they thought.  How often do we, assume God must follow our interpretations of His word?  That is always my biggest problems with His word is my ideas!  Well, little did they realize, the Son of the carpenter in a little town called Nazareth, was growing up and oh, He was the Messiah!  Born around 2 B.C., Gods word never fails, like ever!  LORD, I pray I stop putting You in a box.  Your God and God alone.  I think I will just spend all my energy trusting You.  Oh and Shiloh was a name for Messiah.
