 Why was Jesus referred to as the ~Lion of the tribe of Judah~?
<dir>
 Revelation 5:5 <br><i>
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.</i>
</dir>
<p>
How can Jesus be the ~ Lamb of God ~ and a Lion at the same time?
<p>
This apparent conflict is resolved by Understanding the multiple Roles Christ Jesus serves.
<ul>
<li> Sacrifice ( Lamb )
<li> Healer
<li> Saviour 
<li> Teacher 
<li> Master 
<li> Friend 
<li> King ( Lion )
<li> Lord 
<li> Judge 
</ul>
<p>
To Serve any of the other Roles above, Christ had to be the Sacrifice ( Lamb ) to take away the Sins of the world.
<p>
Because He fulfilled the role of Sacrifice , He is able to Serve as Saviour , Healer and Master .
<p>
His role as Lion or King has been largely ignored by the Church .
<p>
 Jesus came Preaching ~The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand~. He instructed us to Pray that ~His Kingdom come, His Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven ~.
<p>
A Kingdom by definition has a King . A King exercises unilateral Power and Authority .
<p>
Rather than Believing what Jesus said about the Kingdom being at hand and Prayer that it Manifest on Earth , the Church has adopted a Philosophy of ~the checks in the mail~.
<p>
By this I mean that we have deferred the Manifestation of the Kingdom until Christ Returns .
<p>
Because this Teaching conflicts with the Scripture it is Satanic in origin.
<p>
<dir>
 Matthew 28:18 <br><i>
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All Power is given unto me in Heaven <b>and in Earth </b>.</i>
</dir>
Note, Jesus did Not Say the Power <b>will be</b> given to me. He said it <b>is</b> given to me.
<p>
Jesus is <b>now</b> King of Kings and Lord of Lords . He is Not Just the Lamb , He is the Lion !
<p>
What does this mean practically?
<p>
It means we should do what King Jesus told us to do.
<dir>
 Mark 16:15 <br><i>
And he said unto them, Go ye into All the world, and Preach the Gospel to every creature.</i>
<p>
 Matthew 10:8
 Heal the Sick , cleanse the lepers, raise the Dead , cast out Devils : Freely ye have Received , Freely Give .
</dir>
<p>
If You Read the above verses and Say : ~that was for His Disciples ~,
my question is:
<p>
Who are You ?
<p>
The HolySpirit that was poured out on the day of Pentecost is Jesus , the Lion , the King in Spirit form.
<p>
We are to Obey the King . When we do, His Power is Manifest .
<p>
See Jesus as King today. See the HolySpirit as Jesus today. Submit yourself to the HolySpirit today.
<p>
You Will See His Kingdom come and His Will being done All around you.
<p>
