"RE: Rene: 12.20.13"


 

Rene,

            You had mentioned something:

The LION of the TRIBE of Judah appeared to Dr. Owuor announcing
that MESSIAH is coming, then he showed him Jesus opening the
DOOR to heaven

 

However, isn’t the Lion of the tribe of Judah, Jesus himself?

 

First, no man was found worth to open the book:

Revelation 5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

 

Then John was told to behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, who had prevailed to open the book:

Revelation 5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

 

Then when John looks to behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah, he sees a Lamb as it had been slain:

Revelation 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

 

They worship the Lamb who alone is worthy to open the book:

Revelation 5:8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

 

The Lamb is Jesus:

John 1:29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

 

So I was wondering how the Lion of the tribe of Judah shows Jesus doing something, when Jesus is that Lion?

 

In this case, with the Lord, Jesus is the Lion, the Lion is the Lamb, the Lamb is the Shepherd, and the Shepherd is the King.
