The word "Shiloh" means "peacemaker" or "peace". Peace on earth was, and is, one of the Lord's main goals in being born into the world. It is also one of His main hopes for every person he creates -- that we would enjoy states of peace that reach clear through to our souls.

The town of Shiloh was the religious center for the Children of Israel for some 300 years. The tabernacle was located there from the time of Joshua to the time of Samuel.

In Genesis 49:10, Shiloh means the coming of the Lord and the tranquility of peace. (Arcana Coelestia 6373). In Psalm 78:60, the meaning is similar: the church which is in the good of love, and so in peace. (Apocalypse Explained 811[5]). Shiloh is also used as one of the names of the Lord. (Apocalypse Explained 959[3])

However, the context is key. In Jeremiah 41:5, instead of the good of love, we find Shiloh associated with good that's been profaned: the men who come from Shechem, Shiloh and Samaria to make offerings in the newly-Babylon-ruled temple represent people who have profaned good things. (Apocalypse Explained 374[6]).
