Revelation 5:5
SEE, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH... HAS TRIUMPHED
My friend this is it!
This is what we have all been waiting for. This is what it is all about. This is why it is all worth it.
The Lion of the Tribe of Judah has triumphed! Let that truth sink right down into the very depth of your being. No matter what you are going through, no matter what you have been through, no matter what you will go through, never ever forget this. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah HAS TRIUMPHED! It is sure, it is certain, it is fact. He has triumphed!
I find lions awesome. You can see them in the zoos or wild life parks but they don't seem to reach full stature until you see them in their natural habitat in the great game parks of Africa. Don't think of a caged animal, or one climbing over your car but rather standing on an outcrop, high up, overlooking the plains. He is taller than you thought; his mane is so thick it nearly stands on end and his body? Much larger than you imagine. When he roars all the countryside shakes! He is not called the King of the animal kingdom, for nothing!
Yes, not a lioness, a lion. Lionesses are beautiful, sleek and powerful and to be feared, but this is a lion. Lionesses fear but one thing - lions!
I shall never forget seeing a documentary about lions on TV once. It went through all the usual life cycle events of a lion and in particular the role of the lioness. However, one clip has been indelibly imprinted on my memory. The "star" lioness had given birth to her recent set of cubs, but in the course of trying to feed them through a long drought, had suffered a severe, near fatal, injury. This made her unable to work with the pride and so she was unwelcome, as far as the other lionesses were concerned, and driven from their territory. Over the next few weeks, her strength deteriorated and she became vulnerable and 'fair game' for the hyenas.
They are always there in the background, aren't they? Horrible things waiting for you to fail so they can come and trip you up. Cowardly, in that they hunt in packs and only prey on the weak and injured. So here she is - battered and taunted by about 8 of these horrid parasites! She has to turn every which way to try and protect herself from their ever increasing arrogance and flashing teeth. They know that, in her prime, they would have had no chance but now they are becoming increasingly bold and arrogant. I don't know why the cameraman did it or how he knew he should, but he suddenly panned round and saw on a rock, standing overlooking the plain, the most majestic lion I have ever seen. It wasn't moving, it appeared totally indifferent, just watching the 'play' being enacted before him.
Then, without any warning, he 'flowed' over the side of the rock, and began to glide across the plain. There was no apparent hurry, certainly no attempt at any disguise or camouflage.
When he drew level with the hyenas, which was totally inevitable, he took one swipe with his paw and literally tossed one of them skyward. Its huge paw was the size of the hyena's flank and it was flipped like a ball of paper.
The end was inevitable too. Let me tell you this, when the Lion of Judah roars - the whole hosts of satan and his demonic band tremble. When the Lion of the Tribe of Judah comes to your aid - no doubting, condemning 'hyena' is ever going to survive. Why? Because the Lion of the Tribe of Judah has triumphed! When He comes, all the world will know! Have you joined His family yet? If you haven't, I beg you do so quickly. Because the Lion of the Tribe of Judah is an awesome sight. And just as that lion's victory was inevitable, so shall be the coming victory of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. If you have joined His Family, all the security of Heaven itself, is yours. Today, if you feel like that lioness - harassed on every side - look up, my friend, look up! Let me tell you this - Nothing but nothing will be able to stop the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, when He comes to your aid.
Nothing, but nothing can stop Him, when He comes back to earth either! Are you ready to meet Him?
The countdown has commenced. He is on His way!
