<P> "The lamb with the lion"--often a paraphrase from Isaiah, and more closely quoted as "the wolf and lamb", "a child will lead them", and the like--are an artistic and symbolic device, most generally related to peace . </P> <P> The symbol is used in both Christianity and Judaism to represent the Messianic Age .

Where does the lion and the lamb come from
