This longhorn sheep is one of many endangered animals on our huge planet these days. Sadly, this animal species has nearly vanished ( as I wrote in my last blog showing my lay-in work) from many of the areas that it once roamed freely in. A male sheep is called a Ram, and their horns serve as an imposing status symbol. A Ram’s horns are used for dominance and weapons during battles for mating rights.
Sheep are mentioned in the Bible more than 500 times, more than any other animal. The prominence of sheep in the Bible grows out of two realities. Sheep were important to the nomads and agricultural life of the Hebrews and similar peoples.And, sheep are used throughout the Bible to symbolically refer to God's people.
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27)
