Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. Revelations 5:4-5(NLT)
THE LION OF JUDAH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Stop weeping all you people of God
Focus your eyes on Jesus Christ
He is the lion of Judah, a God of love
He is the giver of light and life.
Jesus was the heir to David’s throne
His kingdom goes beyond the whole world
He has won the battle against evil
He died for us so we will win over the devil.

The biblical Judah (in Hebrew: Yehuda) is the original name of the Tribe of Judah, which is traditionally symbolized by a lion. In Genesis, the patriarch Jacob (“Israel”) gave that symbol to this tribe when he refers to his son Judah as a Gur Aryeh -Young Lion” (Genesis 49:9) when blessing him. In Jewish naming tradition the Hebrew name and the substitute name are often combined as a pair, as in this case. The Lion of Judah was used as a Jewish symbol for many years, and as Jerusalem was the capital of the Kingdom of Judah, in 1950 it was included in the Emblem of Jerusalem. This was sourced from Wikipedia.
The Lion of Judah, who is our Lord Jesus Christ is the one who won the battle for us. He saved all of mankind by dying on the cross for us.
