God is note actually interested in any particular tribe. It was their father Jacob who made such pronouncement upon his children. Those worda were like a man''s WILL. Just like lawyers and judges respect a dead man''s written WILL, God just had to honour Jacob''s will too. In Jacobs dying bed he called all his sons and told them what would be of them in the later days. Now that is his will. Jacob said: The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from his descendants, until the coming of the one to whom it belongs, the one whom all nations will honor. Genesis 49:10 Now Judah was ordained to rule and though manifestation started late, David was the first of Judah kings down to all his decendants. And for Jesus to be able to fit into King of kings, he must be from tribe of Judah also else His kingship is fake and illegal. Now there is another mystery/twist in the afairs of will. A will cannot be nullified by anybody except to the person who inherited such will. Jesus inherited kingship from jacob (though He was already king in heaven, he needed a legal human document to be king on earth too). But the good news is that wills can be transfered to an outsider by the direct sole benefactor of such will. And Jesus has passed that will to all nation's and tongues and men everywhere who believes in Him. Now we a's Christians hahas been made kings and priests by this Jacob decedent of earthly kingdom and also God's own exalted King of heavenly kingdom. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:6 232 Likes 16 Shares |

Judges 1, verses 1&2 1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites asked the Lord, “Who of us is to go up first to fight against the Canaanites?” then a reference was made in Revelation Revelation 5:5: "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." 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 13 Likes |

God sometimes can start a new begining with someone or a generation that did his will For example Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord as did david his father. 1kings 15:11 Asa was often referred to as the son of David because God chooses him as benchmark, the reference point in his family, he was not the direct son of David.

If you know that Judah means praise, it will give you an insight into why God chose that particular one over others. God inhabits the praise of his people (Psalm 22:3) 3 Likes |

Mediator97: Jesus, according to Christianism, was born at Bethlehem of Judea on 25th of December 0000. Judea is a jewish tribal town of Judah. Thats why he is called Lion (Title inherited from Ethiopians ancient leaders). There are other key figures from the other 11 tribes, but you find much about them in the Jewish religion (Judaism).

Why is Jesus called "the Lion of Judah"? Answer Jesus is called "the Lion of Judah" as a reference to his family lineage and power. The Tribe of Judah is often symbolized by the lion. The first reference between the Tribe of Judah and a lion occurs in Genesis, when Jacob offers a prophesy related to Judah. The prophesy points to the everlasting kingdom of Jesus. In the book of Revelation, Christ is called the Lion of Judah and the Root of David as reference to both his family line and his triumph. Another interpretation of the connection to the lion comes from medieval literature, which suggests that the lion represents resurrection. The literature goes on to suggest that a lion cub is brought to life on the third day after its birth by its father. 5 Likes 1 Share |
