What does a lion represent?

Answer 1

Courage, strength, power, and majesty

It can also symbolize an evil force preying upon the weak.

A Lion represents an adulteress. A human is a saved Christian.

Example, If I had a dream and in that dream a female lioness came over to me and I was afraid, and then after awhile a male Lion came over to me and I was quite afraid, and after awhile the female lioness invited me to come over to their house for lunch the next day, what do you think was for lunch? Me! Get it?

The Human represents a saved Christian and the lioness an adulteress.

If the Christian prevents himself from becoming entangled in an adulteress affair with the lioness, then the lion is lucky and becomes saved by the witness of the Christian. But if the Christian allows himself to become entangled in an adulteress affair with the lioness, then the Christian becomes foul, polluted by worldly lusts. And the lion becomes human because now the "two have become one flesh".

Proverbs 6:26 (The Message)

You can buy an hour with a whore for a loaf of bread,

but a wanton woman may well eat you alive.

Proverbs 6:26 (New International Version 1984)

for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread,

and the adulteress preys upon your very life.

1 Corinthians 6:16 (New International Version 1984)

Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."

Answer 2

A lion is often used to represent strength and power. Lions are also used to represent family in some cultures because lions live in family groups called prides.
