“Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, And lift up himself as a young lion: He shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, And drink the blood of the slain.”
Numbers 23:24 KJV
In spite of Balak, the king of Moab, inducing Balaam to curse the Israelites, he just couldn’t. This was because the Presence of God and the shout of the King was among them. Instead, Balaam’s oracle was to irrevocably bless Israel which made them invincible against all power of sorcery so all would cry out, “Look what God has done for you!” Life in Christ is like that, everyone may exclaim the goodness of God over you. Balaam saw the Israelites as a resting, roaring, revenging, robust lion. Christ in us is the Lion of Judah, robust and roaring in our praises. As we rest in Christ, no one can take away our peace which He gave us. When the enemy comes against us, Christ in us roars to make the counterfeit lion to flee. Our Heavenly Lion knows to take vengeance so, in Christ, we leave our human oppressors in His hands. In Christ, we who are the righteous, are as bold as a lion because our God has made us robust to put our enemies to flight. The Lion of Judah has prevailed. Hallelujah!
