Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.
Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?
The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.
In Genesis 49:8–12, Jacob’s blessing over Judah brims with rich symbolism: a lion’s strength, a royal sceptre, fertile vineyards, and the sweet wine of celebration. This vivid imagery echoes deeply in the Song of Solomon, whose language paints love and desire with lush, sensory detail.
Through Neville Goddard’s Law of Assumption, these images become a blueprint for manifesting our desires by fully embodying the state of fulfillment — the feeling of being the powerful, beloved creator of our reality.
The Lion, the Sceptre, and the Beloved Vineyard
Judah is described as a lion’s cub, destined to hold the sceptre — the sign of ruling authority. This power is not distant or cold; it is intimately connected to the vineyard and wine imagery that follows. The vine is tender, fruitful, and intoxicating, a place of beauty and abundance.
The Song of Solomon uses similar language to describe the beloved’s power and allure, intertwining strength with sensuous delight. The beloved’s lips drip honey, her cheeks are like beds of spices, and her eyes are pools of sweetness. These are not mere decorations but a living expression of the imagination’s fertile power — the place where desires grow and ripen until ready to manifest.
Eyes Darker Than Wine, Teeth Whiter Than Milk
Genesis 49:12 says Judah’s eyes are darker than wine and his teeth whiter than milk, sensory images that appear repeatedly in the Song of Solomon’s poetry. The beloved’s eyes are “like doves,” her teeth like a flock of sheep. This language invites us to fully engage our senses in the act of assumption.
Neville taught that successful manifestation depends on feeling the reality of the fulfilled desire through all senses, creating an intimate experience that impresses the subconscious mind. The wine and milk images become metaphors for this deep sensory engagement — the sweetness and richness that saturate our imagined state.
The Spiritual Lineage of Possession, Belovedness, and Peace
The names in Judah’s line add another dimension:
-
Jesse, meaning “I possess,” reminds us that manifestation begins by possessing the feeling of our desire as already ours.
-
David, meaning “beloved,” represents the cherished state of confidence and acceptance we must embody.
-
Solomon, meaning “peace,” is the calm assurance and rest in knowing our manifestation is complete.
Together, they map the stages of Neville’s Law of Assumption — possess, embody, and rest.
Conclusion: Embody Judah’s Blessing and the Song’s Celebration
Judah’s blessing and the Song of Solomon’s passionate language invite us to assume our creative power with strength, beauty, and love. To manifest through Neville’s Law of Assumption is to be like Judah — the lion who rules by imagination’s sceptre, who bathes in the sweet wine of fulfilled desire, whose eyes and teeth are vivid with sensory certainty.
When we live in this assumed state, our inner world aligns with the outer, and our desires take shape in reality.
