History of the Lion Judah:
The Lion of Judah is an ancient symbol. The sign represents the Israelite tribe of Judah throughout the Old Testament of the Hebrew Bible. The symbol also features on the emblem of Jerusalem, recognizing the original tribe and inmates of the Biblical Yehuda or Judah. Traditionally,the tribe is represented by a lion. The symbol dates back to the tribe's patriarch Jacob, who referred to his son Judah as 'Gur Aryeh' or 'the young lion' (Genesis 49:9).
The Lion of Judah represents Jesus.
Gen 49:8-9: The Lion of Judah, a strong fighter against the enemy.
Hebrews 7: 14: It is evident that our Lord has risen out of Judah concerning which tribe Moses spoke nothing about priests.
House of David:
The Bible reveals Jesus' bloodline dating back to Jacob, of the House of David. Judah was Jacob's fourth son and the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. King David, an ancestor of Jesus, was also from Judah's lineage and hence, Jesus is referred to as the 'Root of David' (1Kings 2:45). The first ever prophecy of the coming of Jesus, the Lion of Judah, and his never-ending Kingdom appears in Genesis 49:8-12.
Judah stands as the symbol of praise, lion's whelp and a full grown lion. Revelation 5:8-10 and 6:12-17 declare Jesus as the Lion of Judah, who sits on the throne and unleashes wrath and destruction upon the unworthy, all through the rapture. Isaiah 11:6-9 refers to Jesus as the Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah as one, who exist in blissful harmony.
