Yes Lambs have horns.

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

The pointy things on the lambs head are horns.

This is not a lamb, it is a yearling ram, once shorn. (I'm a former farm guy).


We might have different terms now but it is a lamb in the biblical sense.

Rev 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

It's important to remember that symbols, gestures, signs (etc) do not have intrinsic meaning in and of themselves. Humans give them meaning, and the same symbols/signs/gestures can have radically different meanings in different cultures, or even in different contexts.

Here are some examples of what I mean:

We're probably all very familiar with this symbol,

And because of its usage by the Nazis and everything they stood for, and we have an aversion to it--and rightly so. But also there's this,

The swastika has an ancient use and meaning in India, among Hindus and Jains. For them it is a positive symbol, it was hijacked by the Nazis and that's why we have negative connotations about it.

Here's another:

You probably see this upside-down cross and think that it's a satanic symbol. In fact it's not, this is a Christian symbol, it's the cross of St. Peter.

But isn't this the antichrist symbol?
