This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_49:19 Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.
Ver. 19. Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but.] This is every good Christian’s case in the spiritual warfare; he conquers, {Joh_16:33} but comes to it through many conflicts and counter buffs. He "made war upon the saints, and overcame them": {Rev_13:7} for a season it may be, according to human conceit howsoever. But "they conquered and overcame him," according to the truth of the thing, "by the blood of the Lamb," {Rev_12:11} in whom they do overcome, and "are more than conquerors." {Rom_8:37} This was fulfilled in the tribe of Gad. {1Ch_5:18-20}
