What does the bible say about lions?

I've heard the bible said a lot about many things. People, animals, emotions, the actions of humans, a lot of things have been covered. But what does the bible say about lions? I'm curious is all. Also, no smart aleckiness, no sarcasm, and no negativity in this. This is about God, Jesus and the bible and all that involve them.

    "Lion" occurs 154 times in 119 verses in the KJV

    See them

    Samson killed a lion with his bare hands. A colony of honeybees made a nest in its carcass and produced copious honey. Samson took some of the honey home to his parents, and later made a riddle out of the whole event.

    Judges 14:14 KJV — And Samson said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.

    Judges 14:18 KJV — And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? 

    And this was a Messianic prophecy. Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. And like the lion that Samson slew, something sweet came out of his dead body - salvation and eternal life.

    Jesus is sweeter than honey, and stronger than a lion.

    1 Peter 5:8-11 KJV — Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

    UNDER THE COMING MILLENNIAL REIGN OF THE MESSIAH

    6 Just as the waterproof ark carried Noah and his family and pairs of all the animals and birds through the global deluge of 2370-2369 B.C.E., so the spiritual paradise under Jehovah’s protection will survive the coming deluge of the “great tribulation.” Faithful worshipers of Jehovah who abide within this spiritual paradise will survive with it through that “tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again.” (Matt. 24:21, 22; Rev. 7:9-14) For this reason God’s righteous post-tribulation new order of things on earth will start off with a spiritual paradise “filled with the knowledge of Jehovah” and occupied by his faithful worshipers. (Isa. 11:9) Ahead of the “great crowd” of survivors who correspond with the three sons and three daughters-in-law of Noah, there will lie the work of beautifying all the literal earth like a paradise, like a Garden of Eden on a global scale. So the inhabited earth of the future, under the thousand-year reign of Jesus Christ and his 144,000 associate kings, will be a paradise in a literal sense. Jesus Christ himself promised it by name.—Luke 23:43.

    7 Back in 2369 B.C.E., after Noah’s ark landed on a mountain of Ararat and he was permitted to open the door that Jehovah God had shut, Noah and his family moved out into the open. But not just they alone, for, as Genesis 8:19 tells us, “every living creature, every moving animal and every flying creature, everything that moves on the earth, according to their families they went out of the ark.” These were to multiply on the earth just the same as the human survivors of the deluge.—Gen. 1:20-25.

    8 What would be the relationship of these lower earthly creatures to man? This relationship God indicated when, on blessing Noah and his family, God said: “And a fear of you and a terror of you will continue upon every living creature of the earth and upon every flying creature of the heavens, upon everything that goes moving on the ground, and upon all the fishes of the sea. Into your hand they are now given.” (Gen. 9:1, 2) So mankind did not move out of the ark of preservation with any terrorizing prospects before them, even from animals. Mankind had had no fear of the animals inside the ark, where even the lion ate vegetation, just like the bull.

    9 That was doubtless an indication for our own future on the inhabited earth. Along with the human worshipers of Jehovah in their spiritual paradise, earthly creatures of a lower kind will be preserved for mankind’s use and enjoyment. Undoubtedly, after the “great tribulation” is over, God will give a reassurance to his surviving worshipers on earth respecting the fish, the flying creatures and the land animals. The Almighty Creator will put the fear of man into all these lower earthly creatures, so that they will not molest man. According to what God commanded the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, mankind will have all these inferior creatures in subjection. They will be obedient, harmless subjects of mankind.—Gen. 1:27, 28.

    10 More than thirteen hundred years after the Deluge, when King David of Jerusalem wrote the eighth psalm, not all the lower earthly creatures were in subjection to man in the sense of being tame and harmless toward man. But in this psalm David prophetically pointed forward to a man who would yet have all of them in subjection. In that psalm David said: “When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have prepared, what is mortal man that you keep him in mind, and the son of earthling man that you take care of him? You also proceeded to make him a little less than godlike ones, and with glory and splendor you then crowned him. You make him dominate over the works of your hands; everything you have put under his feet: small cattle and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the open field, the birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, anything passing through the paths of the seas.”—Ps. 8:3-8.

    11 Whom, now, has Jehovah God designated as that “man” to whom all earthly things should be subjected? The inspired book of Hebrews, chapter two, verses five through nine, tells us, saying: “It is not to angels that he has subjected the inhabited earth to come, about which we are speaking. But a certain witness has given proof somewhere, saying: ‘What is man that you keep him in mind, or the son of man that you take care of him? You made him a little lower than angels; with glory and honor you crowned him, and appointed him over the works of your hands. All things you subjected under his feet.’ For in that he subjected all things to him God left nothing that is not subject to him. Now, though, we do not yet see all things in subjection to him; but we behold Jesus, who has been made a little lower than angels, crowned with glory and honor for having suffered death, that he by God’s undeserved kindness might taste death for every man.”

    12 This means that, after the “great tribulation” and the chaining of Satan the Devil and his demons and the imprisoning of them in the abyss, the “inhabited earth to come” will be in subjection under the feet of Jesus the Messiah. Also, all the things in the inhabited earth, including “small cattle and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the open field, the birds of heaven and the fish of the sea, anything passing through the paths of the seas.” (Ps. 8:7, 8) The “beasts of the open field” include all the wild animals that are at present savage and dangerous to man, such as the lion, the bear, the leopard, the cobra and any other poisonous snake. “Anything passing through the paths of the seas” will include piranha fish, sharks and killer whales.

    13 Jesus the Messiah, now crowned with glory and honor in heaven, has not lost his power over wild and untamed beasts. (Mark 1:13; 11:2-7) He will show the subjection of these presently dangerous creatures to himself. How? By making them subject to the “great crowd” of heirs of the future earthly paradise who will survive the “great tribulation” into God’s new order for our earth. Thus, the wild, ferocious, dangerous animals of today will be made harmless to the earthly worshipers of Jehovah God. The harmless relationship between beast and man that will then prevail will correspond with the description of Isaiah 11:6-9, which has already found its fulfillment in the spiritual paradise now enjoyed by Jehovah’s Christian witnesses.

    14 Thus God the Creator’s original purpose to have all animal creation on earth subject to perfect man and woman in a global Garden of Eden will take form. The earth-wide paradise will be a place of peace and security. All the ransomed human dead who will be brought forth from their graves onto this “inhabited earth to come” will have nothing of which to be afraid. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28, 29; Rev. 20:11-14) The “roaring lion,” Satan the Devil, and his demons will not be in the vicinity. The glorified “Son of man” in the heavens will enforce peace earth wide between man and man and between man and beast and between beast and beast. “Righteousness is what the inhabitants of the productive land will certainly learn,” and the service and effect of such righteousness throughout the earth will be peace, quietness, cause for true confidence, and security. (Isa. 26:9; 32:17, 18) Oh, what a grand place the earth will be for man to occupy eternally as his paradise home! All of this will be because the “inhabited earth to come” will be under the true “kingdom of the heavens.”—Matt. 4:17; 5:3, 10.

    15 This is the “kingdom of the heavens” that it is now our privilege and opportunity to proclaim world wide. We who have already taken refuge under it are concerned for the safety of others in this time of unprecedented world distress. The tribulation of all tribulations is just ahead. In view of that fact, let us continue to direct all teachable people to the true Messianic “kingdom of the heavens” and help them to take safe refuge under it. Their salvation out of the world’s greatest distress depends on this
