Happy Sabbath, Everyone!
Welcome back to Sabbath Skool Animal Trivia!
This week we’re not looking at a literal animal story. We’re looking at one of the most powerful animal symbols in all of Scripture, and it points directly to Jesus.
From Genesis to Revelation, God chose a specific animal to represent the Messiah. Strength. Sovereignty. Victory. This animal appears in one of Jacob’s final blessings over his sons, and it shows up again in the last book of the Bible in a moment that brings heaven to its knees.
The same title given in prophecy to a tribe of Israel becomes the triumphant name of the risen Savior in Revelation 5. The One who was slain is also the One who conquers.
This Week’s Question:
What animal symbol is used for Jesus, which tribe of Israel is it connected to?
Read carefully, because the progression of this symbol across Scripture tells a story all on its own!
Hint: Start in Genesis 49, then jump to Revelation 5:5.
🌟 Fun Extra: After answering, share one interesting fact, scientific, behavioral, or biblical, about this animal!
May your Sabbath be filled with rest, reverence, and the reminder that our Savior is both gentle enough to save us and mighty enough to conquer everything that stands against us! 🙏
