Lion of the Tribe of Judah

"And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." Revelation 5:5

Are you going through trials and tribulations right now? Is the enemy attacking mercilessly? Help is on the way!

Many passages in the Bible describe our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, as "the Lamb, Who takes away the sins of the world." While this is an accurate description of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, who gave His life for us...He is also the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah," as described in Revelation 5:5.

Lions patrol and defend their pride against attacks. When they hunt, they can take down their prey with a powerful, single swipe of the paw. They have no natural predators. Their roar can be heard for a distance of 5 miles, it is the loudest roar of any big cat.

It's no wonder that our Lord has been compared to the mighty Lion. While gentle and meek as a Lamb, He is also the Lion...a fierce and awesome warrior.

When the enemy attacks, call to the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He will come running and take down your enemy...with a single swipe.

Mighty is our Lord Jesus...the Lion and the Lamb!

Until He comes...
