Revelation 5:5

Then one of the [twenty-four] elders said to me, "Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah [Gen. 49:9–10], the root of David [Isa. 11:1, 10], has prevailed (triumphed). He is able to open the scroll and break its seven seals."
[In the vision in the previous chapter up to this point, God the Father on the throne, the Holy Spirit, and all creation have been clearly presented. Now comes the crescendo of the vision – the Lion of the tribe of Jude and the Root of David. Two well-known messianic expressions from the Old Testament. Jacob prophesied in Gen. 49:10 about Jude: "The scepter shall not depart from Jude, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come, and the obedience of the peoples shall be unto him." Now this prophecy is coming true, see also Jesus' genealogy in Matt. 1:2 and Luke 3:33.]
