Lion Of Judah - Jerusalem
Artist
Bob and Nadine Johnston
Medium
Painting - Oil And Acrylic On Canvas
Description
A White Lion, The Lion of Judah " sits on his Throne of Rocks on a Hilltop in sight of the city of Jerusalem, while a Star of David floats in the air above the city.
The Lion of Judah was the symbol of the Israelite tribe of Judah in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). King David and Jesus were both from the tribe of Judah which was begun by the patriarch Jacob.
Within Judaism, the Biblical Judah (in Hebrew: Yehuda) is the original name of the Tribe of Judah - traditionally symbolized by a lion. In Genesis, the patriarch Jacob ("Israel") gave that symbol to his tribe when he refers to his son Judah as a Gur Aryeh גּוּר אַרְיֵה יְהוּדָה , a "Young Lion" (Genesis 49:9) when blessing him. In Jewish naming tradition the Hebrew name and the substitute name are often combined as a pair, as in this case.
In Christian tradition, the Lion of Judah represents Jesus. Jesus was from the tribe of Judah and he is mentioned as the Lion of Judah in Revelations. Many Christian organizations and ministries use the lion of Judah as their emblem or even their name.
The phrase appears in the New Testament Book of Revelation 5:5; "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."
The use in C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia of a lion named Aslan is known to represent Jesus Christ.[

Nadine worked in Animal Hospitals for years, while developing a business of painting Pet Portrait of all animals, cats, dogs, horses, hamsters, pigs and birds or just any animal you can image.

The most notable comments people make about Nadines paintings are about the eyes, which everyone seem to notice first.Then attention keeps being drawn back to them, again, and again.
