THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH AROUSED
FOR THE RENDING OF THE PREY LINK

The Hebrew name of the sign is Arieh, which means the LION. There are six Hebrew words for LION, * and this one is used of the LION hunting down his prey.

* 1. Gor, a LION's whelp.
2. Ciphir, a young LION when first hunting for himself.
3. Sachal, a mature LION in full strength.
4. Laish, a fierce LION.
5. Labia, a LIONess.
6. Arieh, an adult LION, having paired, in search of his prey (Nahum 2:12; 2 Sam 17:10; Num 23:24).

And why is Messiah thus called? Because it is applied to Him in Revelation 5:5 in connection with His rising up for judgment: and because the Lion is known to have been always borne upon the standard of Judah, whether in the wilderness (Num 2) or in aftertimes.

In Israel's dying blessing the prophetic words foretold of Judah:

"Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies;...
Judah is a LION's whelp;
From the prey, my son, thou art gone up.
He stooped down, he couched as a LION,
And as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?"
Genesis 49:8, 9

In the prophecy of Balaam (Num 24:8,9), we read:

"He shall eat up the nations his enemies,
And shall break their bones,
And pierce them through with his arrows,
He couched, he lay down as a LION,
And as a great LION; who shall stir him up?"

The same testimony is borne by the Prophet Amos:

"Will a lion roar in the forest when he hath no prey?
Will a young LION cry out of his den, if he hath taken nothing?...
The LION hath roared, who will not fear?"
Amos 3:4, 8

When "the LION of the tribe of Judah" is roused up for the reading, the Spirit describes the scene in Isaiah 42:13:

"The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man,
He shall stir up jealousy like a man of war;
He shall cry, yea, roar;
He shall prevail against His enemies."

And this is what is meant and included when the Elder says for John's comfort, "the LION of the Tribe of Judah hath prevailed," and hence, is "worthy...to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing" (Rev 5).

Whether we look, therefore, at the primeval Revelation in the heavens, or at the later Revelation in the Word, the story is one and the same.

And what we see of Leo and his work in both, we find developed and described in the three constellations of the Sign.
