This thread is a moderator approved dedicated thread for bible study, to fully understand all biblical wisdom and understanding. This thread is also available to link ages old biblical concepts, to concepts found in society at large, as well as linking observed information in history to biblical narrative (comparative mythology).
This post is meant for interpretation, fellowship and understanding the Word of Yahuah.
We can begin with an interpretation of biblical dragons verses paleontology's dinosaurs.
Whats the difference? If the bible describes creatures that appear to be dinosaurs, what does it say about the stated history of mankind, the animal kingdom?
Job 41
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down ? 2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more . 9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain : shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up : who then is able to standbefore me? 11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power , nor his comely proportion.13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. 15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
18 By his neesings a light doth shine , and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out . 20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. 21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. 28 The arrow cannot make him flee : slingstones are turned with him into stubble. 29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. 30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. 32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
The book of Job is considered one of the most ancient books of the bible. In this book there are several animals mentioned in passing that are considered mythological, but along with those 'mythological' animals are animals that we in modern times recognize and can readily identify. Is the book of Job describing a sea faring dinosaur?
