Until Shiloh Come This was a message of Jacob to his children before he died. (Genesis 49:1): "And Jacob called unto his sons, and said. Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days." Genesis 49:10: "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a law giver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." Shiloh is also the name of a town but its real meaning is peace, tranquility, rest, i.e., Islam. It could never refer to a town here. If it referred to a person, it could be a corruption of Shaluah (Elohim), i.e., Messenger (of Allah). So the Israelite Prophethood in the lineage of Isaac would scop as soon as Shiloh comes. This corresponds with Surah 2:133: "Were you witnesses when death came to Jacob? When he said to his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We shall worship your God [Allah], the God of your fathers Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac, One God and to Him we surrender [in Islam]." The shift of Prophethood to another nation was threatened in Jeremiah 31:36: "If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever." Also hinted by Jesus in Matthew 21:43: "Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."
