This flag was created from recognized lore about the Tribe of Judah.
Jacob who became Israel had twelve sons and Judah was son number 4 and that number is in the Jewish star in the right bottom corner. Judahs name is written in English at the top and in Hebrew on the bottom.
The center of the flag contains the heraldic image of a lion for Judah that is taken from the prophesy of Jacob in Genesis 49:8-12 “Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.”
Jesus is in the tribe of Judah and is described as the Lion who is worthy in Revelations.
The image is encapsulated in the Hebrew letter “YUD or YOD”. In Jewish mystical tradition, Yud represents a divine point of energy. Since Yud is used to form all the other letters and since God uses the letters as the building blocks of creation, Yud indicates Gods omnipresence. Yud is considered the starting point of the presence of God in all things and the “spark” of the Spirit in everything.
The background of the flag is in the color of the red Topaz stone that is associated with Judah and thought to represent this tribe on the ephod.
