J. H. Allen

Simply to show the fact that there is in Biblical history that which is styled the Sceptre, and also that there is a something which is designated as the Birthright, we quote the following: "The Sceptre shall not depart from Judah, etc." (Genesis 49:10). "For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him comes the chief ruler [prince]; but the Birthright is Joseph's," (1Chronicles 5:2). That the Sceptre blessings, privileges, and promises pertain to Judah, from whom comes the royal family of Israel's race, is well known, and its import somewhat fully comprehended in the realm of light and knowledge as disseminated through Christendom. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
