Revelation 5:5
5 Then one of the leaders said to me, ‘Do not weep! Look! There is someone who can break the seven seals and then open the scroll. His name is the Lion from Judah's tribe. He is called the Root of King David. He has won over all his enemies.’
5:5Jesus belonged to the Israelite tribe of Judah. He was born as a descendant of King David. He is called the Root of King David. He is the true ruler of God's kingdom. See also Revelation 22:16.
