What does dreaming about lion mean in the Bible?
Majesty and threat — the Lion of Judah, or a prowling foe
In Scripture
The lion cuts both ways in Scripture. Christ is the Lion of the tribe of Judah — royal, victorious. Yet Peter warns that the devil prowls like a roaring lion seeking prey. A lion dream may signal either a threat to resist in faith, or a call to the fearless confidence of the righteous, who are "as bold as a lion."
