Judahs Scepter

“Judahs Scepter”

• • The scepter was a staff that served as an emblem of royal authority and civil government
  • In the different stages of Judah’s strength, they are  compared to a lion cub, a full grown lion, and a nursing lioness, the fiercest of all. From now on, a lion was the standard of Judah

⁹ Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
— Gen. 49:9
