How can Jesus be called the Lion of Judah?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is referred to as the Lion of Judah because He is the conquering King from the tribe of Judah, fulfilling biblical prophecy (Revelation 5:5).

The title 'Lion of Judah' ascribed to Jesus signifies His role as a sovereign King who has overcome death and sin. This title roots back to the Old Testament, particularly Genesis 49:9, where Judah is likened to a lion's whelp, symbolizing strength and kingship. In Revelation 5:5, Jesus is described as the Lion of the tribe of Judah, heralding His authority and victorious nature. This title emphasizes His divine power and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan through His life, death, and resurrection. As the Lion of Judah, Jesus embodies absolute strength and dominion, assuring believers that they are protected and saved through Him.
