Best Answer

When Jacob (Israel) was dying, he summoned his 12 sons to him for his final blessing and his foretelling each what would become of their progeny. In his 4th sons case, Judah, part of his future was his being the bearer of the Scepter promise - a royal or imperial insignia - the prophecized King of kings and Lord of lords - Jesus Christ:

Genesis 49:10New King James Version (NKJV)

10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah,

Nor a lawgiver from between his feet,

Until Shiloh comes;

And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.

If Abraham's child is Isaac and Isaac's children are Esau and Jacob and Jacob's son is Judah who is the son of Judah?

Your answer can be found in the Bible books of Genesis 46:12 and Ruth 4:18-22. Genesis states Judah was the 4th son born to Jacob. Genesis 46:12 traces Judah's lineage to son called Pharez; Ruth 4: 18-22 traces Pharez's lineage to King David; and it from the lineage of King David that Jesus Christ is born "the lion of the tribe of Judah"

What does the Lion of Judah stand for?

The Lion of Judah refers to Jesus Christ as the triumphant King of all creation. See Revelation 5:1-5 and Matthew 28:18. Jesus is known for his dual role as the humble Lamb of God (God's sacrifice for our salvation from sin) and the sovereign Lion of Judah (the King of kings). "Judah" refers to the son of Jacob from whom Jesus' parents were descended from. See Matthew 1 and Luke 3. Jesus Christ's first coming to Earth was for fulfilling His role as the Lamb; in His second coming He will be seen in all His deserved glory as the Lion of Judah! Most importantly: IF YOU ACCEPT THE SACRIFICE OF THE LAMB OF GOD, YOU WILL ESCAPE THE JUDGEMENT DESERVED BY ALL SINNERS. See Revelation 21:6-8. "What is the meaning of a Lion of Judah tattoo?" The lion represents the Messiah. Hos_13:7, Dan_7:4) Best Wishes...
