Jesus is called
The Lion of Judah
Why?
This page explores that question.
~ ~ ~
Lions are Majestic.
Lions are Impressive.
When the lion roars,
everyone pays attention!
A lion embodies great power. His strength is known to all. |
The Bible talks about a lion by saying:
A lion
which is strongest among beasts,
and turneth not away for any...
Proverbs 30:30 KJV
Lions are fierce.
Lions are greatly to be feared.
Our Lord Jesus is fierce.
~
Our Lord Jesus is
greatly to be feared by his enemies.
The Bible tells us:
The Lord will be a mighty warrior,
full of fury toward his foes.
He will give a great shout and prevail.
Long has he been silent; he has restrained himself.
But now he will give full vent to his wrath;
he will groan and cry like a woman
delivering her child.
He will level the mountains and hills
and blight their greenery.
Isaiah 42:13 TLB
Lions are massive and mighty.
But
Our Lord Jesus is Almighty!
Lions rule the jungle.
Lions appear regal and remind us of royalty.
The Lion of Judah is the King above all Kings! |
Insights into the
Lion of Judah
The Lion of Judah is strong and powerful.
His enemies tremble at his presence.
Yet
to his beloved ones,
(the ones who have accepted him as Savior and Lord)
He calls to us to
safely draw near to him.
O God my Strength!
I will sing your praises, for you are my place of
safety.
My God is changeless in his love for me.
Psalm 59:10a TLB
Jesus has a
deep love
for his beloved ones.
And
one day he will physically move among us
with a gentleness and intimacy
that will
deeply satisfy us.
But as for me, my contentment
is not in wealth but
in seeing you [Lord] and knowing
all is well between us.
And when I awake in heaven,
I will be fully satisfied,
for I will see you face to face.
Psalm 17:15 TLB
The video below has greatly blessed me.
It gives me a picture
of the Lion of Judah
and
his love and closeness toward me his beloved.
This is not a perfect representation,
but I hope this video helps you
to picture the closeness
that you can have with Jesus.
~
One day we will physically
be able to see Jesus
and
enjoy a new closeness
with our Lord and Savior.
Note: This video doesn't show the respect
that we will always show
for our Lord and Savior,
but it does give us a picture of the
tenderness, warmth, and love
that can be expressed in our relationship with
one who is so powerful.
In addition to helping me
picture
a warm relationship with Jesus,
the above video
and the two below
remind me of a future time
that the Bible talks about
where all the animals
will be gentle, approachable,
and
harmless.
What a time people will have
frolicking with the animals!
These verses describe that time:
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
and
the leopard shall lie down
with the kid;
and the calf
and
the young lion
and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead them.
Isaiah 11:6 KJV
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together,
and the lion shall eat straw
like the bullock:
and
dust shall be the serpent's meat.
They shall not hurt nor destroy
in all my holy mountain,
saith the Lord.
Isaiah 65:25 KJV
One day wild animals
will be tame.
Here is a preview of that time.

As he said in the video,
"If you have the lion on your side,
you have nothing to fear."
But the Lord says,
"I will stand up and show my power and might."
Isaiah 33:10 TLB
When we worship
The Lion of Judah roars!
(The Hebrew word is God's name in Hebrew.)
One day
Jesus is coming back
in great power as the
Lion of Judah.
The next video is singing about
The Lion of Judah
who is one day coming to take control of this earth.
Lyrics are below the video.
Piercin' the jungles of this world
Can't you hear the mighty roar
It's the cry of battle
Coming straight from heaven's door
There is a Lion
The Mighty One
No power can stop Him now
He fought and won against the best of hell
Satan trembles at his sound
(Chorus)
The Lion of Judah
Will break every chain
The Lion of Judah is coming again
The Lion of Judah
Healing in his wings
The Lion of Judah is coming again
Hear the thunder
Listen to the roar
Through the jungles of this life
His blood is screaming now
Follow me to paradise
King of the jungle
Hear his cry
Echoing throughout the earth
See the fire burning in his eyes
He's the Master of the universe
