What does dreaming about lamb & sheep mean in the Bible?
Belonging to the Shepherd — and the Lamb of God
In Scripture
Sheep are the Bible's picture of us: prone to wander, yet known, led and defended by the Shepherd. The Lamb is its picture of Christ — the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Dreaming of sheep may raise a gentle question: whose voice are you following?
