The prophet Nathan also prophecied that King David's seed would build a temple to the LORD, and that the throne of this son would be established forever.

 ==Commentary by William Branham==
-===Judah's position as the Lion===
-:''Now, if you'll notice, Dan is the head of three tribes; Judah is the head of three tribes; Reuben is the head of three tribes, and Ephraim is the head of three tribes. Three four's is twelve, the twelve tribes of Israel. See each one with their banner; and the banner of Judah was a lion; the banner of Reuben, man; the banner of Ephraim, an ox; the banner of--of--of Dan was an eagle.
-:''Now, look back here what John said, "And one had the face..." Let's read here now, just see if it isn't the same thing was like in heaven:... "the first beast was like a lion,... (Judah)... the second beast was like a calf,... (That's a young ox.)... the third beast was the face of a man, and the fourth beast was... a flying eagle."
-:''Just exactly the tribes of Israel camped around, guarding, this earthly guards of the right to the ark. Hallelujah.''

-===Leo in the Zodiac===
-:''What's He doing? Writing His first Bible. Notice, the human beings once looked towards the heavens. And He puts all the stars in the heavens, the zodiac, starting off with the Virgin, ending up with Leo the Lion. First coming of Christ, the second coming. Came by the Virgin, come again as the Lion of the tribe of Juda. There He puts the first Bible.''

 :''And John looked to see a...Lion, and what did he find? A Lamb, and it was a bloody Lamb, a Lamb that had been slain. How long? Since the foundation of the world. The Lamb came forth, walked up to Him that had the Book in His right hand, and received the Book, climbed upon the throne and set down.''
