What does it mean that Jesus is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world?

Answered in 2 sources

It signifies that Christ's sacrifice was part of God's eternal plan for redemption, established before creation.

When scripture refers to Jesus as the 'Lamb slain from the foundation of the world' (Revelation 13:8), it underscores the depth of God's foreknowledge and the preordained nature of redemptive history. This phrase indicates that the sacrificial death of Christ was part of God's divine purpose from the very beginning, established before the creation of the world. Such a declaration showcases the seriousness of sin and God's love, revealing that He provided for salvation even before humanity fell into sin. This foundational aspect of Christ’s sacrifice speaks to the assurance believers can have in the efficacy of Christ's atoning work; it emphasizes that God's plan for redemption is eternal and unchanging.
