Reference: Lamb
American
The young of the sheep, and also the kid of the goat, Ex 12:5, Christ is the Lamb of God, Joh 1:29, as being the accepted sacrifice for human sin. The sacrifices of the Old Testament were an ordained and perpetual foreshadowing not only of his spotless holiness and his unresisting meekness, Isa 53:4-9. He is described in Re 5:6; 12:11, as wearing the form of a sacrificial lamb in heaven itself. See PASSOVER and SACRIFICES.

(1.) Heb kebes, a male lamb from the first to the third year. Offered daily at the morning and the evening sacrifice (Ex 29:38-42), on the Sabbath day (Nu 28:9), at the feast of the New Moon (Nu 28:11), of Trumpets (Nu 29:2), of Tabernacles (Nu 29:13-40), of Pentecost (Le 23:18-20), and of the Passover (Ex 12:5), and on many other occasions (1Ch 29:21; 2Ch 29:21; Le 9:3; 14:10-25).
(2.) Heb taleh, a young sucking lamb (1Sa 7:9; Isa 65:25). In the symbolical language of Scripture the lamb is the type of meekness and innocence (Isa 11:6; 65:25; Lu 10:3; Joh 21:15).
The lamb was a symbol of Christ (Ge 4:4; Ex 12:3; 29:38; Isa 16:1; 53:7; Joh 1:36; Re 13:8).
Christ is called the Lamb of God (Joh 1:29,36), as the great sacrifice of which the former sacrifices were only types (Nu 6:12; Le 14:12-17; Isa 53:7; 1Co 5:7).

The sacrificial type of the Lamb of God, therefore the most frequent victim (Isa 53:7; Joh 1:29; taleh; Isa 65:25, "a sucking lamb," 1Sa 7:9, from whence comes the Aramaic talitha, "maid," Mr 5:41). Kebes, "a lamb from the first to the third year"; offered in the daily morning and evening sacrifice (Ex 29:38-41), on the sabbath (Nu 28:9), at the new moon feasts (Nu 28:11), that of trumpets (Nu 29:2), of tabernacles (Nu 29:13-40), Pentecost (Le 23:18-20), Passover (Ex 12:5), at the dedication of the tabernacle (Numbers 7), Aaron's consecration (Le 9:3), Solomon's. coronation (1Ch 29:21), Hezekiah's purification of the temple (2Ch 29:21), Josiah's Passover (2Ch 35:7), women's purification after childbirth (Le 12:6), at a leper's cleansing (Le 14:10-25), the Passover presentation of firstfruits (Le 23:12), for sins of ignorance (Le 4:32), in beginning and closing the Nazarite's separation (Nu 6:12,14).
Amnos is used in the Gospel of John, which describes the life and death of Jesus as the paschal, sacrificial Lamb. In Joh 21:15 alone arnia is used, so in Revelation also arnion. This arnion being a diminutive expresses "endearment", namely, the endearing relation in which Jesus, now glorified, stands to us as the consequence of His previous relation as the sacrificed amnos on earth; so also our relation to Him, He the "precious Lamb," we one with Him and His dear lambs (Isa 40:11). Kar, "the wether": Mesha of Moab paid 100,000 as tribute to Israel (Isa 16:1; 2Ki 3:4). Tsown, strictly "a flock" (Ex 12:21). Seh, each individual of a flock.

The lamb is symbolical of meek submissiveness, and when selected for the sacrifices, must be without blemish and without spot: a very apt type of the Lord Jesus, the Lamb of God. He, the submissive and spotless One, was "like a lamb dumb before his shearer," and was proclaimed by John as "the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world;" and again as 'the Lamb of God' as an object for the soul's contemplation. Joh 1:29,36. In John's vision of heaven the Lord Jesus is seen as a Lamb 'which had been slain,' to whom universal adoration is given.
The special character attached to the title of 'Lamb' in the book of Revelation is that of suffering, the earth-rejected One, but seen in the midst of the throne in heaven. He who suffered is vindicated there, and finally possesses His bride, the new Jerusalem, in which the throne of God and of the Lamb is established. He will always bear the character of the chosen One of God "that taketh away the sin of the world" on the ground of the sacrifice of Himself. Re 5:6-13; 6:1,16; 9/type/anderson'>7:9-17; 12:11; 14:1-10; 3/type/anderson'>15:3; 17:14; 9/7/type/anderson'>19:7,9; 21:9-27; 22:1,3. In all these passages in the Revelation the word is ??????, the diminutive of ?????, 'a lamb,' signifying a 'young lamb,' or 'lambkin.' The same word was used by the Lord to Peter in Joh 21:15; "Feed my lambs," applying it to the Lord's young disciples.

And I saw, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands.

And he said to me: These are they who have come out of great affliction, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he that sits on the throne shall dwell among them. They shall hunger no more, nor shall they thirst any more, nor shall the sun fall upon them, nor any heat.

And they sung a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders: and no one was able to learn the song, but the hundred and forty-four thousand that had been redeemed from the earth. These are they that were not defiled with women; for they are virgins; these are they that follow the Lamb wherever he goes: these were redeemed from among men, the first-fruits to God and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile; for they are blameless. And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having the eternal gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth, even to every nation and tribe and tongue and people; and he said with a loud voice: Fear God, and give glory to him, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him that made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And another angel followed, saying: Babylon the great has fallen, has fallen; because she has made all nations drink of the maddening wine of her lewdness. And the third angel followed them, saying, with a loud voice: If any one worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or on his hand, even he shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is prepared without mixture in the cup of his indignation;- and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

It had a wall, great and high; and it had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel; on the east, three gates; on the north, three gates; on the south, three gates; and on the west, three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that talked with me had a measure, a golden reed, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. And the city lies square: and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed, twelve thou sand furlongs: the length, and the breadth, and the hight of it are equal. And he measured the wall of it, a hundred and forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. And the wall of it was built of jasper; and the city was pure gold, like clear glass.

And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. And there shall not enter it any thing unclean, or that does what is detestable, or that makes a lie: but those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
