The symbol of the lion as the king of the animals symbolises bravery, power and royalty. In Israel it is the symbol of Jerusalem. According to Jewish tradition the lion is the symbol of the Judas Tribe. Therfore King David, as a decendant of the Judas Tribe, inherited the symbol.
A lion represents strength, predatory ferocity, majesty, and leadership. The lion is the symbol of a ruler, a king, and often a very fierce and powerful one. These are the general meanings of the symbol based on a lion's traits. They help us to comprehend what God wants us to focus on in the context. Thus, a lion can represent both Satan and God because they both have a lion's characteristics.

Bible Stories: Daniel in the Lions Den
By: Julia Shipley
King Darius had been tricked into signing a decree that meant no one could ask anything of anyone for thirty days. These men had reported Daniel as he was praying as he always did to God. Darius loved Daniel and did not want him hurt. All day long he worked hard trying to have the decree changed. The men said, “But it has been signed with the king’s seal. It is the Law of the Medes and Persians it can not be changed.” Finally the king gave the command that Daniel be taken and cast into the den of hungry lions. As the soldiers took him away, the king said to him, “Daniel, your God whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.” Daniel was thrust into a dark dungeon where a great many hungry lions were kept. A large stone was put at the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own ring. Then the king went back to his own palace. He could not eat. He could not sleep. His servants wanted to play soft music to help him sleep, but he would not listen. All night long he fasted and walked the floor, waiting for the light of morning. As the first rays of light broke the darkness, he hurried out towards the lion’s den. As he neared the den, he called loudly, “Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, who you serve continually, able to save you from the lions?” Then he listened. Even though Daniel had been in the den with the lions for many hours, still the king listened to see if he would answer. Then he heard Daniel’s voice. He called back, “O King, live forever. My God has sent his angel and has shut the lion’s mouths and they have not hurt me.” Perhaps Daniel had slept with his head on the fur of a lion for a pillow! The king sent his servants to bring Daniel up out of the pit at once. They looked him over carefully and found that he was not hurt at all, because God had taken care of him. Then the king gave an order to his solders. All the wicked men who had plotted against Daniel were brought with their families and were thrown into the den. There was no angel there to close the mouths of the lions, and the great beasts broke all their bones before they had even reached the bottom of the pit. All those watching knew that it was a terrible thing to fight against the living God. Then King Darius made another decree. In it he said, “I command that men everywhere tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for He is the living God, and steadfast forever.”
