Genesis 48-50

Well, now Joseph's family is with him in Egypt, and everybody's happy. But now Jacob is about to die, and he is blessing all his sons and grandsons. In chapter 49 he is blessing and kinda telling the future of his sons one by one. I really was interested in Judah's blessing:

"Judah, your brothers will praise you;

your hand will be on the neck of your enemies;

your father's sons will bow down to you.
You are a lion's cub, O Judah;

you return from the prey, my son.

Like a lion he crouches and lies down,

like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
The scepter will not depart from Judah,

nor the ruler's staff from between his feet,

until he comes to whom it belongs

and the obedience of the nations is his.
He will tether his donkey to a vine,

his colt to the choicest branch;

he will wash his garments in wine,

his robes in the blood of grapes."

This sounds to me like a prophecy of Jesus - a descendant of Judah! Imagine... in the earliest times of the Bible there are still clues and hints about the Savior! God knew exactly when he would come, which line he would descend of, and what he would do!!!

AND I imagine if he knew that in Genesis, than he knows exactly when he's coming back for all of us. Not to mention he's probably looking forward to coming for us more than he was looking forward to sending his son to die:)
