________________________________
In Genesis 49, Jacob, near death gives a testament to all his sons. Judah, though not the oldest, was given his fathers’ preference. In Gen. 49:8, Jacob states that his brothers will praise him and “the sons of your father shall bow down to you.” Judah is referred to as a “lion’s whelp” (young lion), like “the king of the beasts-who would dare rouse him? The scepter shall never depart from Judah…” (Gen.49:9-10). This foretells the supremacy of the tribe of Judah and the lineage that leads through King David to the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The lion is a symbol of royalty, wisdom and strength. This reference joins with the New Testament Book of Revelation 5:5 where no one could be found worthy to open the scroll, but an elder said “Do not weep. The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has won the right to open the scroll with the seven seals.” Jesus is “The Lion of Judah.” The seals are all broken; the Kingdom now open to us.
