Christian Coat Of Arms and along with the Bible reference for each one.
At the Knoxville Flea Market, there was a booth selling items for one dollar. That is where I got this. It’s a nick-nack, a 6″ Resin Tabletop Plaque from Dicksons.
Check out each element of this coat of arms for a Christian.
This piece is from Dickson.

“I am the first, and I am the last; and besdie me there is no God.”

Lion & Lamb
As mentioned in Isaiah 11:6-7, a metaphor for
peace and serenity during the future reign of the Messiah. Jesus was called the Lamb of God in John 1:29 and was also known as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah in Revelation 5:5, who was qualified to open the scroll that was sealed with seven seals.
Shield
“… Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extiguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.”
