Shiloh
Shiloh — he to whom it belongs, 'he whose right it is'
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. Ezekiel 21:26–27
The crown is taken from Judah's last wicked king and overturned until 'he come whose right it is.' That rightful King is Jesus Christ, heir of David, to whom the Father gives the throne; the phrase echoes the promise that the sceptre would stay with Judah until Shiloh comes.
