Promise 107 Gen. 49:18

Gen. 49:18 - "For Your salvation I wait, O Lord." I just thought that this was so random that in the middle of prophecying his son's futures and blessing those deserving of it, and while on his death bed, Jacob says, "for your salvation I wait, O Lord." It was after telling Dan that he would judge his people, after the 7th son. Was this the same as "Oh Lord, have mercry!" as he reflects on the character of his boys, or is he declaring what will come, but he knows its not in the time of his son's lives, nor those of his grandchildren? The wait for salvation, that will surely come one day?Maybe he was waiting in anticipation that within his last days he would see a turn around in his sons and they would turn their eyes toward Jacob's God, there would be salvation for their family in their hearts. The promise for us is; we can wait in anticipation for the salvation of the Lord in whatever circumstance we are in, in whatever way it is needed. Salvation is on its way!
