The New Testament's final book, Revelation, directly associates Jesus Christ with the title "Lion of Judah." In Revelation 5:5, the apostle John writes, "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.'"
This passage unmistakably identifies Jesus Christ as the "Lion of the tribe of Judah," forging a connection between the Old Testament blessing of Judah and the person and work of Jesus Christ. The Lion of Judah is depicted as triumphant, alluding to Christ's victorious act of redemption through His death and resurrection.
