This Sunday School lesson examines the first part of Jacob's deathbed prophecy in Genesis 49:1–12, where he summons his sons to hear what will befall them "in days to come." The teaching walks through Jacob's oracles to Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah. While Reuben, Simeon, and Levi receive severe rebukes and predictions of diminished status due to past sins, Judah is uniquely honored. The instructor explores the significance of Judah's royal line, the chiastic poetic structure of the passage, and the prophetic foreshadowing of the Messiah—the Lion of the tribe of Judah. Drawing connections to the New Testament and broader biblical narrative, the teaching exhorts listeners to trust God's providence and to remember that even flawed human vessels like Jacob can be used to speak divine truth.
