Numbers 24:17 KJV
17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

What, who and how is necessary to ask when applying all one knows of one particular saying. The Messiah would turn the hearts of the Gentile to them and destroy idolatry from the land of the Gentiles, but in the process if destruction would be takebn would be in form of faith. Seth was the first to worship God, the destruction coming of the children of God as they receive Shiloah(Messiah). Rejection of what and who they served not understanding fully who the Messiah was as part the godhead bodily. Bible New Testament shows two societies embracing and rejecting Jesus. We have a prophecy in the book Numbers to a pagan culture that speaks of the star the wise men would see thousands of years later. A prophesy that could of gotten lost in time if it was not for scripture recorded. The star was ensign to their people of Messiah they should follow.

The passing of time lost even to the point what Jacob said to his son Judah while blessing his sons in the zince of being prophetic. He said sceptra would not depart ot of Judah. Judah was the kingly line and King David was from the tribe of David. David kingdom was like Abraham kingdom it about faith in fact David was a type son of Abraham in regarda to righteous by faith.

This season as we approach Christmas, for the believers of faith it special because of gifts under the tree, no only because of the reminder our Messiah came as baby. We celebrate and everlasting sceptre that will not depart from our hearts or life. The promise and hope of peace between God and man.

There will be a time of final destruction but not of people of faith. The people of faith no longer dying because of sin but for the reunion with Christ and the family of God. Our sins being cleansed through the blood and cross of Jesus who rose life redeeming us from the very grave he entered in.

Dear Heavenly Father remind us your promise of the Messiah from ancient past of more then one nation that would destroy the laws and rules of nations with the power of love. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
