Fourth Messianic Prediction in the Pentateuch:

Judaic Prediction

(Genesis 49:8-12)

“Judah, your brothers shall praise you;
Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; 
Your father’s sons shall bow down to you.Judah is a lion’s 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?The scepter shall not depart from Judah,Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,Until Shiloh comes,And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.He ties his foal to the vine,And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine;He washes his garments in wine,And his robes in the blood5 of grapes.His eyes are dull from wine,And his teeth white from milk.”

[Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah (tribe of Judah):]

“Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers. 3 Judah was the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, Perez was the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram”  (Matt 1:2)

“and one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals.” (Rev. 5:5)

“And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written,
“KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Rev. 19:16)
