| Joseph and Mary were both of the lineage of David, of the tribe of Judah. [[Jesus]] [[Christ]], the [[Messiah]], was called the [[Son of David]]. Just like David's son Solomon reigned after him, and built a temple to the LORD, so Jesus built a temple to the LORD. The difference was that Solomon's temple was a building, and Jesus temple was his resurrected body. | | Joseph and Mary were both of the lineage of David, of the tribe of Judah.

| ===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.''

| ===Misconceptions about Christ's first coming===
| |
| :''And the Jews, they were looking for a general, some man that was coming with a rod of iron in His hand, and a Lion of the Tribe of Juda, and He was going to rule all nations; and run Rome out into the river and drown them, and--and--and Israel was going to take over. That's the reason. When He come exactly the way the Scripture said He would come, but they was looking for Him in a different way.''
| |
| :''I wonder if it wouldn't be the same thing today, if He come, if we wouldn't think that. We have our own ideas about what He ought to be, and what He ought to look like, and how He should wear His clothes, and part His hair, and everything. If it isn't just our taste, why, we wouldn't receive it (You see.);''

| ===The Lion and the Lamb===
| |
| :''John looked around, and there was no man in heaven, no man on earth, nobody, no Angel, nothing could take the Book or to loose the Seals or to even to look on It. No man was worthy. John said he wept bitterly. Then an Angel came to him, said, "Weep not, John, for the Lion of the Tribe of Juda has prevailed, and He's worthy."''
| |
| :''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.''
