Greetings,
The one symbol which symbolizes our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ is the Lion and Lamb symbol. At first I
thought this symbol was found in Revelation 21 when
the Lord would create a new heaven and a new earth.
But it wasn't in that chapter. I saw the symbol as a
symbol of living in harmony when the new earth and
heaven were created.
It is actually in the Old Testament book of Isaiah in
chapter 11 verses 6-8 where both formerly dangerous
beasts live in harmony with animals that were once their
prey. Now it doesn't mention a lion lying with a lamb but
it does mention a wolf dwelling with a lamb in verse 6 and
a leopard lying down with a young goat. It also mentions
a calf and a young lion and a fatling together.
Of course Isaiah was foretelling the coming of the Messiah
(Jesus Christ) and wild animals dwelling with each other
could only be realized in Christ's return to establish the
kingdom of God. This reversal of nature is also mentioned
in Isaiah 65:17-25 Verse 25 says, "The wolf and the lamb
shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox."
I believe now in actuality that the lion and the lamb really
represented Jesus Christ in two ways. First he is symbolized
as a lion because Jesus was seen as a king and a lion was a
symbol of royalty as Jesus was also called the Lion of the tribe
of Judah. He was also considered a lamb because He was the
Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world. (John
1:29)A lamb was an animal of sin sacrifice in Old Testament times.
Of course I can see the lion and lamb together symbolizing both
Jesus Christ and the symbol of living in harmony when Jesus
returns. Either way they represent our Lord and Savior and
in fact I even have a large figure of the lion and lamb together
as part of my living room decor, of which is my favorite of the
decor in my living room.
I can hardly wait until the day comes when we as humans can
dwell along side beasts, a new heaven and earth indeed.
Thank you for reading and God bless.
