    Genesis 49:10 is a fullfulled prophetic verse.  Judah was neither Jacob's
    firstborn son nor the son who would produce the priestly tribe, he was the
    son thru whom God would fullfill His promise to Israel and the world.  The
    leadership according to Jacob, was to go to Judah, but this did not happen
    for over 600 years.  

    Moses came from Levi, Joshua from Ephraim, Gideon from Manasseh, Samson
    from Dan, Samuel from Ephraim, Gideon from Manasseh, Samson from Dan,
    Samuel from Ephraim, and Saul from Benjamin.  But when David finally became
    King, JUDAH held the Sceptre and did not relinquish it until Shiloh  (the
    Messiah (Jesus) came).  Shiloh is a name for the Messiah related to the 
    Hebrew word for 'peace' (shalom) and means in effect "the one who brings
    peace".  It could ONLY apply to Jesus because as Daniel 9:26 predicted
    "After thressscore and two weeks (32 years) shall Messiah (Jesus) be cut
     off (die), but not for himself (the Son); and the people of the prince
    (the Roman Titus) shall destroy the city (Jerusalam) and the sanctuary
    (the 2nd Temple)."  The Temple was destroyed in 70 AD and Jesus was the
    only would that could possibly be the Messiah.
