You’ve probably seen the phrase “God Like A Lion” and many impressive Lion images printed on apparel and merchandise that Christians use to express their faith.
But do you know the reason? Let us guide you to the answer.
LION - THE MEANING OF THE SYMBOL IN SCRIPTURE
The Lion is an image and a name for God used in Scripture that describe aspects of Jesus Christ - the attributes of Jesus are as powerful and majestic as a lion.
Christ’s connection to the lion actually goes back much further and is revealed much more thoroughly in Revelation 5. This is clearly referring to Jesus Christ, the Root of David and Lion of the tribe of Judah, who is worthy to open the scroll for being the one to conquer sin and death through his work on the cross (2 Timothy 1:10, Isaiah 25:8, 1 Corinthians 15:25-26, Hosea 13:14).
Here the true power of the King of kings (Revelation 19:16) and Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14) is revealed as a lion who is majestic, fierce in love, and worthy to be called king.
