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/mnt'>7:9-17; 12:11; 14:1-10; 3/type/mnt'>15:3; 17:14; 9/7/type/mnt'>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.

Then I looked and heard a voice of many angels encircling the throne and a voice of the Living Creatures and of the Elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, singing aloud, "Worthy is the Lamb who has been slain, To receive power and riches and wisdom And might and honor and glory and blessing."

The blessing and the glory and the wisdom And the thanksgiving and the honor and the power and the might Be to our God forever and ever. Amen." And one of the Elders spoke to me, saying. "Who are these, clad in white robes? Whence come they?" And I said to him, "You know, my Lord." And he said to me, "These are those who have come out of the great persecution, and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. For this they are now before the throne of God, and are serving him day and night in his temple. "And He who sits on the throne Will spread his tabernacle over them.

They were singing a new song before the throne, and before the four Living Creatures and the Elders; and none can learn that song, except the one hundred and forty and four thousand, who had been redeemed from the earth. These are they who were not defiled with women; for they are celibates. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They have been redeemed from among men to be the first-fruits unto God and the Lamb. No lie was ever found on their lips; they are spotless. Then I saw another angel who was flying in mid-heaven. He had an eternal evangel, to evangelize all the dwellers on the earth, of every nation and tribe and tongue and people. And he cried with a loud voice. "Fear God and give him glory, Because the hour of his judgment is come. And worship Him who made the heavens and the earth And the sea and springs of waters." Then a second angel followed, crying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great, Who has made all the nations drink the wine Of the frenzy of her fornication." And another angel, a third, followed them, crying with a mighty voice. "Whoever worships the beast and his image, And receives a brand on his forehead or on his hand, He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, Poured out unmixed in the cup of his anger; And he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone In the presence of the holy angels, And in the presence of the Lamb,

Its light was like some precious stone, like jasper, clear as crystal; with a wall great and high, and twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. On the east were three gates; and on the north, three gates; and 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 twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he who spoke had a golden reed, as a measure, to measure the city and its gates and walls. And the city lies foursquare; the length of it is as great as the breadth. Then he measured the city with the reed, fifteen hundred miles; the length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured its wall, two hundred and sixteen feet, man's measure, which is an angel's. And its wall is made of jasper; but the city is of pure gold, like pure glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kings of precious stones. The first foundation-stone was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each gate of one pearl. And the broad street of the city was of pure gold, transparent like glass. And I saw no temple in the city; For the temple is the Lord God, the Almighty, And the Lamb. And the city has no need of the sun, Nor of the moon, to shine upon it; For the glory of God has lightened it, And its lamp is the Lamb. And the nations will walk by its light. And into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory; And its gates will not be shut by day, (For there is no night there); And they will bring the glory and honor Of the nations into it. There will not enter it anything profane, Nor any who work abominations and a lie; But only those who are written In the Lamb's Book of Life.
And he showed me the river of the Water of Life, clear as crystal, Flowing out from the throne of God, and of the Lamb,
And there will be no more curse But in it will be the throne of God and of the Lamb.
