A '''Lion''' is a symbol of power and kingship.  The patriarch Jacob prophecied that his son Judah was a lion, and that the scepter would not depart from his lineage.  Later, the prophet Nathan prophecied that King David's seed would build a temple to the LORD, and that the throne of this son would be established forever.

==Commentary by William Branham==
===Misconceptions about Christ's first coming===
:''And the Jews, they were looking for a general, some man that was coming with a rod of iron in His hand, and a Lion of the Tribe of Juda, and He was going to rule all nations; and run Rome out into the river and drown them, and--and--and Israel was going to take over. That's the reason. When He come exactly the way the Scripture said He would come, but they was looking for Him in a different way.''
:''I wonder if it wouldn't be the same thing today, if He come, if we wouldn't think that. We have our own ideas about what He ought to be, and what He ought to look like, and how He should wear His clothes, and part His hair, and everything. If it isn't just our taste, why, we wouldn't receive it (You see.);''

===The Lion and the Lamb===
:''John looked around, and there was no man in heaven, no man on earth, nobody, no Angel, nothing could take the Book or to loose the Seals or to even to look on It. No man was worthy. John said he wept bitterly. Then an Angel came to him, said, "Weep not, John, for the Lion of the Tribe of Juda has prevailed, and He's worthy."''
:''And John looked to see a...Lion, and what did he find? A Lamb, and it was a bloody Lamb, a Lamb that had been slain. How long? Since the foundation of the world. The Lamb came forth, walked up to Him that had the Book in His right hand, and received the Book, climbed upon the throne and set down.''
