The Voice of a Lion

Commentators explain that the angel's cry, like a lion's roar, symbolizes the immense power and authority of God's message. Several scholars connect this directly to Jesus, the "Lion of the tribe of Judah." This powerful voice is meant to command the world's attention and demonstrate the strength and courage available to the church through Christ.
