Learn about the King from Judah prophecy, revealing the promise of a ruler who fulfills God’s eternal plan through Christ. Long before a star shone over Bethlehem, the coming of a King was foretold. Centuries earlier, Jacob spoke a prophecy in Genesis 49:8–10, declaring that the scepter—the symbol of kingly authority—would remain with Judah and that a ruler would come to whom all peoples would obey. This ancient promise, spoken more than a millennium before Christ’s birth, pointed ahead to a King unlike any other.
