The lamb is symbolical of meek submissiveness, and when selected for the sacrifices, must be without blemish and without spot: a very apt
type
of
the
Lord
Jesus
, the Lamb of
God
. He, the submissive and spotless One, was “like a lamb dumb before his shearer,” and was proclaimed by
John
as “the Lamb of God which taketh away the
sin
of
the world
”; and again as “the Lamb of God” as an object for the
soul
’s contemplation (
John 1:29,36
29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (John 1:29)
36
And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! (John 1:36)
). In John’s vision of
heaven
the Lord Jesus is seen as a Lamb “which had been slain,” to whom universal
adoration
is given.
The special character attached to the title of “Lamb” in the
book
of Revelation is that of suffering, the
earth
-rejected One, but seen in the midst of the
throne
in heaven. He who suffered is vindicated there, and finally possesses His
bride
, the
new
Jerusalem
, in which the throne of God and of the Lamb is established. He will always
bear
the character of the chosen One of God “that taketh away the sin of the world” on the ground of the
sacrifice
of Himself (
Rev. 5:6-13
6
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7
And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8
And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.
9
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

10
And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11
And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12
Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13
And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14
And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15
Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.

12
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13
On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14

18

). In all these passages in
the Revelation
the word
is
ἀρνίον
, the diminutive of
ἀρνός
, “a lamb,” signifying a “young lamb,” or “lambkin.” The same word was used by the Lord to
Peter
in
John 21:15
15
So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. (John 21:15)
: “Feed My lambs,” applying it to the Lord’s young disciples.
