Advent Devotional for December 5th

By Beth Seifert on December 1, 2020 in

Revelation 5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the root of David has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Genesis 49:8-12

“Judah, your brothers shall praise you;
your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
your father’s sons shall bow down before you.
Judah is a lion’s cub;
from the prey, my son, you have gone up.
He stooped down; he crouched as a lion
and as a lioness; who dares rouse him?
The scepter shall not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
until tribute comes to him;
and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.
Binding his foal to the vine
and his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,
he has washed his garments in wine
and his vesture in the blood of grapes.
His eyes are darker than wine,
and his teeth whiter than milk.
