Shiloh is the Messiah
All commentators agree that 'Shiloh' is a title for the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Based on the Hebrew and ancient translations, the name is interpreted as 'the Peace-maker' or 'He whose right it is.' This verse is seen as one of the earliest and clearest Old Testament prophecies pointing to a specific kingly savior from the tribe of Judah.
