Did you know that every Hebrew letter corresponds to a different number? By
studying the numerical values of words through a system called "gematria," we
find certain diverse words and ideas are secretly connected when their numerical
values match. Amazingly, the numerical value of the words ‘yavo Shiloh’ (Shiloh comes) adds up to
358 which is exactly the same numerical value as the word 'mashiach', Hebrew for
Messiah. With prophetic foresight, Jacob blesses Judah with not only the
monarchy, but the emergence of the messianic line through his lineage.The city
of Shiloh holds a special place in ancient Jewish tradition and in modern Jewish
life.
