Actually, Jesus Christ is both 'Lion' and 'Lamb', indicating his roles in battle and in sacrifice.
The bible refers to Jehovah God demonstrating some of the qualities of a lion, but it reserves the term 'Lion of Judah' to describe Jesus Christ. Similarly, Jehovah God is never once referred to as a lamb in the bible.
(John 1:29) The next day he beheld Jesus coming toward him, and he said: “See, the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!
(Revelation 14:1) And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.
Jehovah God is also never called a "prince"; the term "prince" indicates that there is a superior king. This is one of the hundreds of bible concepts that helps bible students to recognize that Jesus is certainly not Jehovah, but is a distinct person who was created by and is subordinate to Almighty Jehovah (God the Father).
Thus, Isaiah calls Jesus the "Prince of Peace". That verse also notes that (unlike Jehovah), the Christ (Jesus the Son) is not Almighty, but merely Mighty. As the perfect replacement for the first man Adam, Jesus becomes the new "father" of humankind in that they owe their prospects of eternal life to his discharge of Adam's sin.
(Isaiah 9:6) There has been a son given to us; and the princely rule will come to be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
(1 Corinthians 15:45) The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

God can be both gentle, like the Lamb, and conquering, like the Lion. Jesus is the Son of God and He creates (He is the Father of) Heaven on earth.
No, there is nothing too hard for God!!!!!!
Yes, God is an awesome God!!!!
Thanks, Sandra, and God bless you!!!

God is the Lamb because His Gospel is for all that will accept and obey the commandments given. He is the lion when it comes time for retribution against the wicked.
He is also the Father because He is the Creator of the heavens, the earth, and the universes that we know--all under the divine investiture of God the Father--His God and our God.

That's only an optical illusion!
It works on anything,
The Beginning and The End
The Alpha and the Omega
The Bright and Morning Star (aka Lucifer?)
and so on...
In the Church Era God the Son Jesus Christ is quite a Lion... tearing Children to pieces...
Revelation 2:23 (NIV) I WILL STRIKE HER CHILDREN DEAD. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds...

very simple. God/Jesus/Holy Spirit does not have human qualities because He IS spirit, not flesh and blood.
