lamb’s words
are
good.

conveys the idea of
examining with care, to judge
, for this is the ultimate prerogative of the Lamb. “He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He
judges
and makes war. … And the name by which He is called is the
Word
of God” (Revelation 19:11, 13). In another beautiful symbol,
prosperity, happiness, auspicious
,
God
and the
lamb
are wedded to create the character representation.
