The Lion and the Lamb

Rooster with Anselm playing with Rooster's tail

Yes! I am thinking about the Lion and the Lamb. Where would I find the passage that talk about the lamb lie down with the lion in the Bible? I know that I have heard about it and see the picture of the drawing of the Lion with the Lamb. I am sure that you have seen that picture that I am talking about. I have seen that at LifeWay bookstore and heard people talking about it.

But I did the search online with Biblegateway and couldn't find it. I found about the wolf but not the Lion. A wolf and a Lion are two different kinds of animals. This was on my mind, and I wanted to use it in my blog, but I had to find the passage first. That is when I found out that I couldn't find the passage in the Bible. I had search over 300 some passages with both Lion or Lamb in it. Nothing! The closest one was about the wolf with the lamb together in Isaiah 11:6 and Isaiah 65:25.

6The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. Isaiah 11:6 ESV

25The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain," says the LORD. Isaiah 65:25 ESV

I have learned a lot that Lion and the Lamb is not in the Bible as people say. But the Bible did say that Jesus is the Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah.

I was thinking about Rooster and Anselm for this case. I was just thinking about a baby lamb playing with the big old lion's tail. Also, I was thinking about the tip of the lion’s tail like a pom-pom (Cheerleader thing) at the end of it. I can see that baby lamb would love to play the lion's tail in a way like the way Anselm loves to play with Rooster's tail. I was looking at Anselm as if she is a baby lamb and Rooster as a big old lion.

I thought this would be a good blog with His Word in it and including the picture of them together. But I couldn't find the passage in the Bible. I don't want to use a wolf since that didn't strike me compare to the Lion. But I can share what I have learned and discovered. I also can share my thinking about Anselm as a baby lamb and Rooster as big old lion. Can you see what I am thinking as I look at Anselm playing with Rooster's tail? You can look at that a baby lamb playing with the wolf's or Lion's tail.
