This is the third promise of grace in the Bible. The first is, Genesis 3:15. The second is, Genesis 22:18. And this the third. The first gives assurance of the promised seed, the LORD JESUS. The second tells of the blessing's folded up in him. And this, when the mercies shall be. The sceptre did not depart until JESUS came. For in the family of David it was continued, even when Judaea became a province under the Roman government. In proof read that scripture: John 19:7. And in proof that then JESUS, the Shiloh, was come, read that scripture: John 19:15. And for the gathering of the people, read Haggai 2:7; John 11:32; John 11:32.
