And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were attached to the throne, and supports on each side of the sitting place, and two lions standing by the supports:
Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.
And one of the elders said to me, Do not weep: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
