The "Lion of Judah symbolizes Jesus Christ, the Messiah of the Jews, the strong and fierce defender of God's chosen people. Throughout art history, Jesus Christ has been depicted as the gentle "Lamb of God", which He is. However, He is also the mighty "Lion of God", the warrior King who is returning soon to "judge and make war" on those who have rejected His love and hurt His children. (Revelation 19:11)








Hosea 11:10
They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.

Jesus the lamb
In the Old Testament lambs were continually being slain as an offering for one’s sins. In the New Testament, following His one sacrifice for sins forever, Jesus sat down at the right hand of God. When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, he announced "Behold the Lamb of God who comes to take away the sin of the world!" (John1:29)

Jesus explained this clearly when He said "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for His sheep." (John 10:11)

Jesus the lion and the lamb: riding a colt or a white horse?
Consider Jesus' mission at His first coming and what He will achieve at His second coming. Jesus came in peace on the first occasion though He will come to judge the whole earth on His second arrival. Many of the religious authorities rejected Jesus 2,000 years ago as they had hoped for a lion-like Messiah who would overthrow the Roman occupation, particularly in Jerusalem

Jesus the lion
Throughout the Bible lions represent royalty, majesty, authority, invincibility, fearlessness and bravery. In fact ‘lion’ and ‘lions’ are mentioned more than 100 times in Scripture. In Nahum Chapter 2 they are referred to figuratively as royal leaders ruling over Assyria.

In Genesis chapter 49 Jacob blesses His twelve sons and prophesies over his son Judah declaring, "Judah is a lion's whelp; from the prey my son, you have gone up, he bows down, he lies down as a lion, and as a lion, who shall rouse him? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him shall be the obedience of the people."(Gen 49:9-10)

The above prophesy speaks of Jesus as the Lion who would come from the tribe of Judah. The Messiah would also be the Lawgiver and his people would obey Him.

In Revelation Chapter 5:5 John is told "Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals." (Rev5v5) Interestingly John then sees a Lamb, as though it had been slain being worshipped!

Revelation 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.

You're the Lion of Judah, the Lamb that was slain
You ascended to heaven and ever more will reign
At the end of the age when the earth You reclaim
You will gather the nations before You

And the eyes of all men will be fixed on the Lamb
Who was crucified
With wisdom and mercy and justice You'll reign
At Your Father's side

And the angels will cry: "Hail the Lamb
Who was slain for the world, Rule in power"
And the earth will reply: "You shall reign
As the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords"

There's a shield in our hand and a sword at our side
There's a fire in our spirits that cannot be denied
As the Father has told us for these You have died
For the nations that gather before You

And the ears of all men need to hear of the Lamb
Who was crucified
Who descended to hell yet was raised up to reign
At the Father's side
