This was painted from a picture of arms found in the
Book of Remembrance.

BLAZON: or. & lion rampant gu.

JUDAH WAS 470,000 MEN THAT DREW SWORD
(1 Chronicles 21:5)

Jacob's Blessing (Genesis 49:8-12)

"Judah, your brothers will praise you:
Your hand will be on the neck of your enemies;
your father's sons will bow down to you.
You are a lion's cub (welp), O Judah;
you return from the prey, my son.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down,
like a lioness -- who dares to rouse him?
The scepter will not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler's staff from between his feet,
until he comes to whom it belongs
and the obedience of the nations is His."

('to whom it belongs' ultimately refers to
the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ,
who came through Royalty, through King
David of the tribe of Judah)
