The Lion Of Judah
Zion is the city of the great king, the Lion of Judah. The Lion of Judah is the great king. The Apostle's Gospel declares that Zion is the city of he Lion of Judah, the Root of David: who has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals; This Lion is able to execute judgment because he is the one worthy to take the book, and to open the seals because he was slain, and has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. TheLord Jesus Christ is the root and offspring of David. He is of the lineage of Jesse. Thus David’s Rule was prophetic of the Kingship of the Messiah. As the offspring of David; theLord Jesus Christ is the Ruler of the tribe of Judah, whose name means: “ I will praise theLord”. Christ is the brave and mighty hero come out of Jesse. Jacob, father of Judah prophesied by the Holy Ghost, saying: “ Judah, your brethren shall praise you: your hand shall be in the neck of your enemies; your brothers shall bow down before you. Judah, you are a lion's whelp: When you come from killing the prey you shall lie down and who is he that would dare to awake you? Judah, the sceptre shall not depart from you nor a lawgiver from between your feet, until the Prince of Peace shall come; and the Prince Peace shall gather all nations unto himself, (Gen 49:8).
Jacob prophesied, that a man brave as a lion; a brave and mighty hero would emerge from the lineage of Judah. This man whose hand will hold the golden scepter will be the Messiah; the Peace of God. Jacob prophesied that Israel and all nations will gather unto him. A scepter is a stick kings hold in their hand to symbolize their rule, authority, kingdom of power and majesty. The kings wears a crown; but he also carries a scepter. This scepter is the rod of the empire. It is the golden scepter of God. TheLord told David to be a ruler over the people of Israel. TheLord told David that he would be with him where he go; and would cut off all his enemies from his sight; and make his name greater than the great men in the earth. TheLord told David, that He would appoint a place for the people of Israel, and plant them, in a place of their own; they would never have to move again and neither shall wickedness afflict them any more. Mary’s husband, Joseph, was of the House of Judah; and as such he was a direct heir to the throne of David. Joseph stood in line with royal line with Solomon, Roboam, Abia, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Joram, Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, Manasses, Amon, Josiah, and Jechoniah: all kings of the House of David, of the tribe of Judah, (Matthew 1).
The prophecy said that: "the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward; and that in that day the root of Jesse, shall stand for an ensign of the people; and to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. The prophecy said: "God will cause them that come of Jacob to take root; that Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. The prophecy said: "he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. Christ, is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, who has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. Jesus of Nazareth said: "I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. (2Ki 19:30; Isaiah 11:10; 12:6; 27:6; 53:2; Rom 15:12; Rev 5:5; 22:16).
For theLord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation; He remembers his congregation, which he has purchased of old; the congregation which is the rod of his inheritance; his inheritance which he has redeemed; he has reedmed Mt. Zion, for this is where he dwells. This Mt Zion is his the joy of the whole earth; This beautiful for situation,is the city of the great King. Here Christ ourLord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. David took the strong hold of Zion; and Zion will never again be defeated; for Christ our King sits in Zion; for it is his holy hill. Here praises are sung to Christ; and here his doing among the people is declared. The daughters of Zion praise Christ in the gates and rejoice in his Salavtion. Our Salvation comes out of Zion; it is here where we rejoice and are made glad. Here Christ sends forth help and strength. Here the daughters of Judah rejoice.

Zion is the body of Christ. Zion is the church of the living God. Zion is the Church Christ has built that shall never fall. Her walls and her stones will last for ever.The body of Christ is for a signs and wonders. Here the body of Christ cry out and shout: Great is the Holy One of Israel! Great is the Holy One of Israel, for the poor of his people shall trust in it. Out of Zion, the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; Christ shall reign in mount Zion before his ancients gloriously. Great is the Holy One of Israel, for God has laid in Zion a foundation; a stone; a tried stone; a precious corner stone; a sure foundation. the daughters of Judah, shall weep no more; for Christ is very gracious at the voice of her cry; when he shall hear it, he will answers.
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling-stone, and a stone of offence: and he who believeth in him, shall not be ashamed. and then, will all Israel live. It is written: A deliverer will come from Zion, and will turn away iniquity from Jacob. It is written, the saints have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the Jerusalem that is in heaven; and to the assemblies of myriads of angels. It is written: Iin Zion I lay a chosen and precious stone, for the head of the corner; and whoever believeth in him, will not be ashamed. It is written: I looked, and behold, a Lamb stood on mount Zion; and with him the number of a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name and the name of his Father written upon their foreheads. (Rom 9:33; 11:26; Heb 12:22; 1Pe 2:6; Rev 14:1).
We Cry out and shout, because great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of us. It is a marvelous thing, un heard of from the foundation of the earth, that Zion is made to bring forth in one day. It is miraclous and marvious thing that Zion is born at once. As soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Zion is compared to a comely and delicate woman, who is glad, and rejoice in theLord God. God has poured out in Zion the former and the latter rain in the first month. Isaiah 12:6; 66:8; Jeremiah 6:2; Joel 2:23).
The Apostle's Gospel declares that Zion is the city of he Lion of Judah, the Root of David: who has prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals; This Lion is able to execute judgment because he is the one worthy to take the book, and to open the seals because he was slain, and has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation. The Lord Jesus Christ is the root and offspring of David. He is of the lineage of Jesse. Thus David’s Rule was prophetic of the Kingship of the Messiah.
