GENESIS 49:9- JUDAH IS A LIONS CUB; FROM THE PREY, MY SON, YOU HAVE GONE UP.  HE STOOPED DOWN; HE CROUCHED AS A LION AND AS A LIONESS; WHO DARES ROUSE HIM?

AMOS 3:7-8- FOR THE LORD GOD DOES NOTHING WITHOUT REVEALING HSI SECRET TO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS.  THE LION HAS ROARED; WHO WILL NOT FEAR? THE LORD GOD HAS SPOKEN; WHO CAN BUT PROPHESY?  

REVELATIONS 5:5- AND ONE OF THE ELDERS SAID TO ME, WEEP NO MORE; BEHOLD, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH, THE ROOT OF DAVID, HAS CONQUERED, SO THAT HE CAN OPEN THE SCROLL AND ITS SEVEN SEALS.
