"Devil is a Werewolf"
A werewolf is a fictional, human-turned-wolf creature, while a wolf is a real-life animal. Key differences include werewolves being a part of folklore with a human origin, while wolves are a species in the natural world. Werewolves are often depicted as having supernatural traits and a violent nature towards humans, whereas real wolves are generally shy of people.
The biblical warning against "wolves in sheep's clothing" is found in Matthew 7:15, which says, "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves". This verse cautions people to be wary of those who appear harmless but have malicious intentions, specifically referencing false prophets who try to mislead others by appearing to be genuine.
Matthew 7:15: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves".
Meaning: The phrase describes people who disguise themselves to hide their true, harmful nature. It warns against being deceived by outward appearances and urges discernment in recognizing false teachers or leaders who are not what they seem.
Explanation of the Verse
This verse, part of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, serves as a warning to be cautious of individuals who appear harmless and trustworthy on the surface but harbor malicious and destructive intentions.
"False prophets": This refers to people who claim to speak for God or teach religious truths but are actually spreading false doctrines or harmful ideas.
"Sheep's clothing": This metaphor describes an outward appearance of innocence, goodness, or piety that disguises their true nature, allowing them to blend in with the faithful.
"Ravenous wolves": This symbolizes their true, predatory nature. They seek to exploit, abuse, and lead others astray for their own gain, such as money, power, or status.
How to Identify Them
Jesus continues in the following verses (Matthew 7:16-20) by providing a method for identification: "You will know them by their fruits". This means their true character is revealed by their actions, behavior, and the outcomes of their teachings, not just their words or outward appearance. A good person produces good fruit, and a corrupt person produces evil fruit
The bible verse is 1 Peter 5:8, which says, "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour". This verse warns believers to be vigilant against the devil's attempts to lead them astray and offers a reminder of the spiritual conflict they face.
• 1 Peter 5:8: "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour".
• Context: The passage advises believers to be vigilant and firm in their faith because their adversary, the devil, is actively seeking to harm them.
• Meaning: The metaphor of a roaring lion emphasizes the danger and predatory nature of the devil, who is a formidable opponent that believers must recognize and resist.
• Action: The verse is not meant to inspire fear, but rather to encourage a state of readiness and clear-mindedness in facing spiritual attacks, according to BibleRef.com
Dogs are direct descendants of wolves, specifically from ancient wolves that are likely now extinct.Modern dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) are considered a subspecies of the gray wolf (Canis lupus) and were domesticated through selective breeding by humans over tens of thousands of years.
Ancestry: All modern dog breeds trace their ancestry back to an extinct wolf population that shared an ancestor with the gray wolf.Genetic studies suggest that the wolves involved in domestication likely came from both Asian and European populations.
Domestication timeline: The domestication process is estimated to have begun between 130,000 and 40,000 years ago, long before agriculture was developed.
Modern diversity: The vast array of dog breeds we see today resulted from thousands of years of selective breeding by humans for specific physical traits, behaviors, and abilities.
The Bible verse is Revelation 22:15, which states, "For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie" in the King James Version. The term "dogs" here is not literal but a metaphor for those who are morally impure or spiritually outside the holy city, including false teachers or those who practice sorcery and deceit.
• Revelation 22:15 (KJV): "For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie".
• Other translations: In many modern translations, this reads something like, "Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood".
• Figurative meaning: The term "dogs" is used to describe spiritually and morally unclean people who are excluded from the New Jerusalem. It can also refer to "false teachers" or those who are "impudently impure".
The phrase "a dog returns to its vomit" is a biblical proverb, often quoted from Proverbs 26:11, meaning a foolish person repeats their mistakes. It illustrates someone who returns to a harmful situation or decision that they should have rejected. The imagery is intended to be repulsive, symbolizing a return to something that is disgusting, vile, and has already caused harm.
• Biblical origin: The saying comes from the Book of Proverbs and is also partially quoted in the New Testament (2 Peter 2:22).
• Meaning: It describes someone who does not learn from their errors and goes back to the very things that made them sick in the first place.
• Modern usage: Today, it is used to describe a person who makes the same bad decisions repeatedly or goes back to a harmful relationship or situation.
• Cultural context: In biblical times, dogs were often seen as unclean animals, making the image of a dog returning to its vomit a powerful and vivid illustration of repulsive behavior.

"God is a Lion"
The phrase "God is a lion" is a biblical metaphor that represents God's power, majesty, and authority, as well as his protective and fierce nature. This imagery is used in scripture to evoke a sense of awe and reverence, highlighting God's strength and kingly power, such as in the title "Lion of the tribe of Judah" for Jesus in the Book of Revelation. It is a way to describe both God's judgmental wrath and his powerful love and protection, contrasting with the gentleness often symbolized by the lamb.
• Power and authority: A lion's roar symbolizes God's commanding presence and power. The title "Lion of the tribe of Judah" for Jesus emphasizes his lineage and authority as a divine king.
• Protection: The lion also represents a fierce protector, embodying God's strength as a defender of his people.
• Dual nature: This imagery, along with the symbol of the lamb, is used to show God's dual nature—both powerful and fierce (the lion) and gentle and sacrificial (the lamb).
• Biblical usage: The metaphor is used by prophets to describe God's call to his people and by Job to describe God's fierce nature. It is a recurring motif in both the Old and New Testaments.
Lion of Judah is a potent cultural and religious symbol of strength, royalty, and leadership with deep roots in Judaism, Christianity, and the Rastafari movement.
In Judaism
• Origin: The association originates in the Book of Genesis, where the patriarch Jacob blesses his fourth son, Judah, with the prophecy: "Judah is a lion's cub... The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come" (Genesis 49:9-10). This established the tribe of Judah as the enduring royal line.
• Symbolism: The lion represents power, bravery, success in battle, and leadership. It became a common Jewish symbol for the entire people and the enduring hope for a future king from the House of David, who himself was a descendant of Judah.
• Modern Usage: The lion is the central element of the contemporary Emblem of Jerusalem.
In Christianity
• Reference to Jesus: In the New Testament, the "Lion of the tribe of Judah" is a title for Jesus Christ, found in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 5:5). It signifies his messianic status as the promised King from the lineage of David and his ultimate triumph over sin and death.
• Dual Nature: Christian theology often contrasts the powerful image of the Lion (conquering king) with that of the Lamb (sacrificial savior), highlighting the dual nature of Jesus's mission.
Common Bible verses featuring lions include the righteousness of the righteous being as bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1), the devil prowling like a "roaring lion" (1 Peter 5:8), and God's power described with lion imagery. Lions are often used as a symbol of strength, courage, and sometimes, ferocity.
Righteousness and courage
• Proverbs 28:1: "The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion".
• Proverbs 30:30: "A lion, mighty among beasts, refusing to retreat before anything".
Evil and danger
• 1 Peter 5:8:
"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour".
• Psalm 7:2:
"Lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver".
God's power and the future
• Isaiah 31:4: "As a lion growls, a great lion over its prey... so the LORD Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion".
• Numbers 24:9: "He couched, he lay down like a lion... who shall rouse him up?".
• Isaiah 11:6-8: Describes a future where the lion will eat straw like an ox, signifying a time of peace.
