The name Ariel is poetical, or symbolical of Jerusalem, and conveys a deep and beautiful doctrinal significance. It means literally Lion of God, Ari El; and is the term applied in Ezekiel 43:15 to the “altar” upon the Holy Hill of Zion in the Age to Come. In a sense, the whole nation of Israel is a Lion of God (Num. 23:24; 24:9), and the Lord Jesus Christ, its King, is “the Lion of the tribe of Judah” (Rev. 5).
