The term “Shiloh ” means“ He Whose It Is; He to Whom It Belongs. ” Thus, these prophetic words indicated that there would come one who had the legal right to receive “the scepter, ” or sovereignty, and“ the commander’s staff, ” or rulership, over “the peoples, ” or all mankind. Who would this One be? “ Until Shiloh Comes ”
