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.

And he will give with the unjust his grave, and with the rich in his deaths, for he did no violence, and no deceit in his mouth.

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/juliasmith'>7:9-17; 12:11; 14:1-10; 3/type/juliasmith'>15:3; 17:14; 9/7/type/juliasmith'>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 they conquered him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their souls till death.
And I saw, and, behold, a Lamb standing upon mount Sion, and with him a hundred forty-four thousand, having the name of his Father written in their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of great thunder: and I heard the voice of harp-players playing on their harps: read more. And they sing as a new song before the throne, and before the four living creatures, and the elders: and none could learn the song, except the hundred forty-four thousand, purchased from the earth. There are they who were not contaminated by women; for they are virgins. These are they following the Lamb wherever he should lead. These were purchased from men, first fruits to God and the Lamb. And guile was not found in their mouth: for they are blameless before the throne of God. And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the lasting good news to announce to them dwelling upon the earth, and to every nation, and tribe, and tongue, and people, Saying with a great voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment has come: and worship ye him having made the heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. And another angel followed, saying, She fell, Babylon fell, the great city, for all nations has she given to drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. And the third angel followed them, saying with a great voice, If any worship the wild beast and his image, and receive the stamp upon his forehead, or upon his hand, And the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, mingled pure in the cup of his anger; and he shall be tortured in fire and sulphur before the holy angels, and before the Lamb:
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and wonderful thy works, O Lord God, Omnipotent Ruler; just and true thy ways, King of the holy.
These will wage war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they with him called, and chosen, and faithful.
Let us rejoice, and be transported with joy, and let us give glory to him: for the marriage of the Lamb came, and his wife prepared herself.
And he says to me, Write, Happy they called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are the true words of God.
And there came to me one of the seven angels having the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and he spake with me, saying, Come, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. And he brought me away in the spirit upon a mountain great and high, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, read more. Having the glory of God: and her luminary like a most precious stone, as jasper stone, shining like crystal; And having a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and the names inscribed, which are of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel: From the sunrising three gates; from the north three gates; from the south three gates; and from the sun-setting three gates. And the wall of the city having twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve sent of the Lamb. And he speaking with me had a golden reed that he might measure the city, and her gates, and her wall. And the city lies quadrangular, and her length is so large, such also the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, at twelve thousand stadia. Her length, breadth, and height are equal. And he measured her wall, an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is the angel. And the interior construction of her wall was a jasper: and the city pure gold, like pure crystal. And the foundations of the wall of the city adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation a jasper; the second, a sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald: The fifth, a sardonyx; the sixth, a sardius; the seventh, a chrysolyte; the eighth, a beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a hyacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates twelve pearls; each one of the gates was of one pearl: and the broad way of the city pure gold, as transparent amber. And a temple saw I not in her: for the Lord God, the Omnipotent Ruler, is the temple and the Lamb And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they shine in her: for the glory of God enlightened her, and her light the Lamb. And the nations of the saved shall walk about in her light: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into her. And her gates should not be shut by day: for no night shall be there. And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into her. And there came not into her anything common, and any doing abomination, and a lie: but they written in the book of life of the Lamb.
And he showed me the pure river of the water of life, shining as crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
And there shall be no more curse: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in her; and his servants shall serve him:
