Prophecies of Messiah – Genesis 9:26-27: God will dwell in the tents of Shem
Gen 9:26 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Gen 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
The Ancients interpreted ‘He shall dwell in the tents of Shem’ as a prophecy of the Glory of the Lord coming to earth. The Targum Onkelos translates the phrase as “God shall cause his Shechinah or glorious Majesty to dwell in the tents of Shem.”
This would occur through a descendant of Shem, Jesus of Nazareth.
Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
Rom 15:12 And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
Rev 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

In ‘story form’, the above names reveal thus:
God, to the earth, has appointed mortal man to receive (through human birth) His splendor. He shall come down, teaching/dedicated that His death shall bring the defeated, rest. His name shall release us so that we may acquire peace as we cross over the gap by our friend who is a firm rope (who was pierced in ignorance so that we may repent from our wondering). This Father of a great multitude shall laugh in mockery at the supplanter who caught His heel. Praise will break forth! Arrows of joy on high from the people of this willing giver! Hear an ominous oracle. His garment is a high mountain and in Him is strength. Worship and serve the Lord who is Beloved, He is a giver of a gift of consolation and full care. He will establish this gift of grace and He will add praise. Listen and obey, for we have been joined to this gift that the Lord has exalted. This Helper will be our aid. Be watchful, for God has measured all divination with a great witness that the Lord is our King and Light. I have asked God, will sinful offspring of Babel be healed of You. He answered, ” I am full of grace.” Then praise and add to it! Obey the gift of the Lord from this time on. The radiance of sunlight is by His side in nobility. Comfort and compassion are for the one with a great burden. With this gift of the Lord, He will add and answer the oppressed..”The Lord is King.” Join unto the gift and ascend when He adds to you Jesus!
