Jesus is a white boy with blue eyes and blonde hair, the Lion of Judah is a man of color that is coming back to rip off those white boys(Romans/European) with blue eyes that crucified him, this is why He is the Lion of the House of Judah(jew is short for Judah) and the House of Israel.He has no affiliation with Gentiles but the Hose of Israel that is the Hebrew Israelites.

Judges 1, verses 1&2



then a reference was made in Revelation



remember The book of revelation was said to have been written when John the apostle was on the deserted island; Patmos and well, was partially in the spirit so all he said may not make proper sense to us, he wrote what he saw


back to your question,
i think it is because The tribe of Judah was the equivalent of what you will call military today.
so, a lion being the head, signifies the chief of defense staff
.

No Judah was not the millitary.
The millitary was ordained as Ephraim and Mamesh prophetically in the bible.

Present day, Ephraim and manessah are USA and Britain. They are the sons of Israel with Austrailia.

And the Bible also made it clear that Ephraim the younger shall be greater than mamessah the elder.
Those too tribes was written about the prophet that

"they shall police the world"

And that is exactly what USA and Britain are doing.

Notice that in God's agender they must work together to achieve their aim else one must fail.

Every war Britain and USA collaborated the won including 1st and 2nd world war.

But USA(ephraim) working alone without england (manessah) went to ordiary golf war and we're terribly beaten. Again another war USA went alone , they couldn't even conquer ordinary iran. See their Syria blunders etc

FROM SCRIPTURES WE UNDERSTAND THAT JESUS, AMONG OTHERS, WAS CALLED TWO NAMES WHICH APPEAR TO OPPOSITE.
1) THE LAMB OF GOD.
2) THE LOIN OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH.

AS A LAMB OF GOD, HE WAS COMPLETELY OBEDIENT TO GOD. THE BIBLE SAYS "THE LAMB WAS SLAIN".
BUT AS A LOIN OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH , JESUS PREVAILED TO OPEN THE BOOK AND LOOSE THE SEAL.

SO, JESUS IS CALLED THE LOIN OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH TO SHOW HIS VICTORY OVER SATAN.

REMEMBER, EVERY BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN IS ALSO A LOIN COS JESUS CALLED US BRETHEN..... THE BROTHERS OF A LOIN MUST BE LOINS.

No sir, Joseph was not blessed at all by his father. Jacob skipped Joseph from his WILL, instead he blessed Josephs two sons ephraim and manessah. That is the double portion blessing of Joseph the Bible talked about.

FYI : Ephraim is present day USA and Manessah are present day Austrailia and Britain

" Lion of the tribe of Judah" is an astrological metaphor for saying the Sun shines the brightest in August. Leo is August and the Sun in Europe is at its warmest in August. This is one of the many Astrological symbols in the Bible.

JESUS, THE LAMB OF GOD, THE LION OF JUDAH

Lamb Of God, Lion Of Judah

Question.
Why is Jesus called the Lamb of God?
John 1:29 “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” Rev 5:6 ” Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne.”And why is He called the Lion of Judah?Revelation 5: 5 Then one of the elders said to me “Do not weep! See, the LION of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals”.

Answer.

Lamb of God
The phrase “Lamb of God” is a reference to the Passover lamb whose shed blood saved God’s people from death and freed them from their bondage to slavery in Egypt (Exodus 12:12-13). Paul called Jesus our “Passover Lamb” in 1 Cor. 5:7, and John the Baptist introduced Jesus as“ the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). He was saying that as the Passover lamb redeemed the Jews from their bondage to slavery, the Lamb of God redeems us from our bondage to sin.

Lion of Judah
Lion of Judah comes from Genesis 49:9-12 where Jacob called his son Judah a lion’s cub, and prophesied that the Messiah would come from the tribe of Judah and be the ruler over the nations. That makes “Lion of Judah” a Messianic title and since Jesus is the Messiah who will rule the world, He is the Lion of Judah.Therefore The “Lamb of God” is a title associated with the Lord’s first Coming, while the “Lion of Judah” points to His second coming.

12. MANASSEH.

Out of these twelve tribes, why is Jesus referred with only one, which is Judah out of other Tribes?
Jesus is referred to as the lion of the tribe of Judah because, though he was born of spiritual conception, Joseph is his earthly father. Joseph is a descendant of the tribe or clan of Judah going by the genealogy of Jesus, hence the reference.

Organized religion is the biggest, oldest pyramid scheme on the planet, and a cancer on mankind. It's based on authority and fear, and it's purpose is to keep people ignorant and obedient while the wealthy and powerful classes maintain their position. Nearly all the wars throughout history have one religion or another at the root of them, and this continues today!

OPs is a list of the tribes which inherited land in Israel

ebig21:
Oga op why did you skipped the tribe of the levites, aren't them also fathered by Abraham
He skipped the tribe of the Levites because this is a list of the tribes which inherited land in Israel

ebig21:
Remove Ephraim and Manessah. Put Levi and Joseph
Joseph (i.e. the House of Joseph) is represented by Ephraim and Manessah.
Ephraim and Manessah replaced the vacuum left by omitting Levi and Joseph and symbolic number 12 is maintained

All these are the twelve tribes of Israel,
and this is what their father said to them when he blessed them, giving each the blessing appropriate to him

- Genesis 49:28

According to Genesis 49:28, the list in Genesis 49:1-27, are of Jacob's 12 sons and are what made up the 12 tribes of Israel
(i.e. in order of birth: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin)
Mannasseh and Ephraim were joined to represent the House of Joseph aka tribe of Joseph

OPs is a list of the tribes which inherited land in Israel

Certitude:
the nigga doesn't know ephraim and manasseh are half tribe each
I doubt he doesnt know that

elipheleh:

15A man might have two wives and love one but not the other.
Both wives might have children, and the firstborn son might belong to the wife that the man doesn't love.
16When the day comes for the father to give his sons their inheritance,
he can't treat the son of the wife he loves as if that son were the firstborn
.
This would show a total disregard for the real firstborn (the son of the wife he doesn't love).
17Instead, he must recognize the son of the wife he doesn't love as the firstborn.
He must give that son a double portion
of whatever he owns.
That son is the very first son he had. The rights of the firstborn son are his

- Deuteronomy 21:15-17

The narrative in Deuteronomy 21:15-17 above wasnt adhered to because Reuben though being the firstborn of Jacob's first wife, Leah, whom Jacob didnt really love, he, Reuben forfeited that priviledge and lost the right to firstborn double portion blessing because of sleeping with Bilhah, one of his father's concubines

Reuben act of adultery caused the firstborn double portion birthright blessing to be transferred to Joseph, another firstborn.
Joseph being the firstborn of Jacob's second wife, Rachel, whom Jacob so loved that he actually had to work another extra seven years in order to be able to marry her

elipheleh:
FYI : Ephraim is present day USA and Manessah are present day Austrailia and Britain
Care to share where else, the other tribes are, in regards to the rest of the world?

Re: Why Is JESUS Called "Lion Of The Tribe Of Judah?" by DeBlessedOne(m): 12:24pm On Nov 13, 2016
Let's look at it this way. after what Davidi did to Uria's wife, Bathsheba. There was a curse on his lineage. Even After God forgave Him and made Solomon King. Imorality and Incest Became a Trend in the Family. Judah Slept with his son's widow unknowingly, Absolom slept with all of David's wifes on the roof top. Tamar was also defiled by her brother, David's son.

So, when it was time for Jesus to come. He needed to come from Judah as rightly explained by Mediator97. but there was bad blood in the family. So a disconnection was needed so as to start a new Era for the divine Kingship that was promised Judah by Jocob their father.

Now the Lion dosent eat anyhow meat. It eats Meat that it kills by itself. It dosent pick up left-overs. Jesus is called the "Lion" of the tribe of Judah because he didn't eat the meat that was being served from generation to generation in Judah's Tribe. He came through a virgin hence cutting the transfer of that bad blood.

Now with this few points of mine, I hope I av been able to make common sense.

Happy Sunday.

out of the 12 tribes of Israel. Jesus is a product from the lious of Judah. if you read the genealogy of Jesus you will discover He is of the lineage of David who is from Judah.
