The Slain Lamb Who Now Reigns in Glory

Elder Ram is an Uncommon Cattle Being from the Stars Age, costing 6 faith, with 5 strength and 5 hope. It features Discern, giving you a choice: deal 2 damage to a target enemy Being, or grant this Being +2 hope and Protect, offering control or durability based on your need.

The Ram on the Throne, The Worthy One Appears

High in the heavens stands the Elder Ram, fierce and full of dignity. This is the Lamb of Revelation, not weak or passive, but mighty and worthy to open the book. The stars show Him next to the throne, standing though slain, alive forevermore. The scene is majestic, as all creation pauses and worships the One who alone is found worthy.

This moment happens in the story of the stars between Christ’s first and second comings. The Lamb, having already taken away the sin of the world, now takes His rightful place in glory. He is both sacrifice and ruler, gentle and fierce, laying down His life and now standing to judge and restore. This ram is the bridge between the gospel and the return, between grace offered and glory revealed.

This card's verse is Revelation 5:12:

"[...] Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing."

He stands in the heavens as the One who fulfilled every shadow of the Old Covenant. All the rams and lambs offered through history pointed to Him. Every horn of oil, every altar flame, every covering was a whisper of His name. And now, He is lifted high, the once-sacrificed Lamb who is now exalted forever.

The Church Caught Up, The Story Moves Forward

This ram also marks the moment the church is caught up, raptured into the presence of the Lamb. The heavens speak of this glorious turning point. The body of Christ is removed before wrath falls, taken into the Lamb’s chambers, shielded under His wings. The stars show the Lamb standing and preparing for what comes next.

Believers are not appointed to wrath. We belong to the One who bore it. The same Lamb who stood silent before His accusers now stands in power. And we are with Him, seated, secured, singing. Our names are written in His book, and the heavens shout the promises of our heavenly citizenship.

This is a grace-filled pause in the heavens. A Lamb standing, a scroll being opened, a bride being gathered, a storm readying to fall. But the church is hidden in Him, safe, secure, and unshaken. In the Elder Ram, we see strength, sacrifice, and safety. He is our rest, our hope, our forever Shepherd, and the stars tell it beautifully.
