God is revealed here with impressive force, evoking his authority and protective power on ephraim and
Juda . This image of lion symbolizes not only force, but also the divine determination to defend its people. To better understand this dynamic, we can refer to
daring 5:14 and
Apocalypse 5: 5 , which highlight the majesty and the protection of our Lord. In the end, this promise reminds us that, even in trials,
God is our unshakable defender.
