Lion of Judah


The Lion of Judah represents Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, . Rastafarians hold that Selassie is a direct descendant of the Israelite Tribe of Judah through the lineage of Kind David and Solomon. In Christianity, this lion represents Jesus. A lion also stands for strength, courage, leadership, and majesty.

but Haile Selassie was a murderous dictator! That might be pretty bad karma to include him here...

i believe that is misinformation...maybe you're thinking of Mussolini whom Selassie was defending against?
