I was always fascinated at how the ancient civilizations all across the globe had their own depiction of dragons

My small group was studying Job 40 and 41 last Sunday. Someone commented that modern scholars who interpret Behemoth and Leviathan as a hippopotamus and crocodile seem to be trying desperately to make the Bible respectable to the world rather than just letting the Word of God say what it says.

I taught one youth group about dragons and dinosaurs in the Bible. They put the Job ref in their mobiles. Next Saturday at a Christian youth rally, a girl asked one of the boys, "Well, what about dinosaurs?" He clicked on the Job ref and she was amazed! He was so excited that he could answer her.

The word "fire" in old english does not always meat the result of sonething flammable. It often is used for vemon, acids and other things that cause a burning sensation. Cobras spit fire

Why would Revelation say dragon, even if it is a metaphor, if people in 95 AD didn't know what a dragon was?

I shall never forget watching that video where an eminent paleontologist cuts through a fossilized Tyrannosaurus Rex bone and finds a soft center with what looked like preserved bone marrow. It blew me away.

It's amazing how people, in general, think that the earth must be billions of years old because of an issue like dinosaurs. Yet, if you look how much things have changed so quickly in just 100 years, 50 years, 10 years. If you told someone in 1900 where people and society would be in 2023, they would absolutely not believe you. What creatures would be extinct. The different kinds of propulsion and their uses. The amount of death, destruction, and the scale of wars.

I'm a simple man.

The Word of God says that there existed huge fire-breathing creatures with armored skin & tails like tree trunks, I believe it.

Would to God that all Christians accept the Biblical World View of Creation. Thank you for sharing this.

The picture of a *stegosaurus* is carved among many other animals in the walls of a Cambodian Temple in Angkor from the 12th century.

Glad to see more people pointing this out.

[shaunsteele]

every civilization on earth had stories of dragons... to think they weren't real is insane

[aaronowen]

imagine if the electric eel were to go extinct - In a couple hundred years people would say you were out of your mind to think an animal could produce an electric current. Now to me it's easier to imagine an animal being able to produce fire than to produce electricity.

0:17: 🐉 The Bible talks about dragons in the Old Testament, indicating they were real creatures.
3:34: 🦕 The main reason why people deny the existence of dinosaurs is due to the influence of the evolutionary worldview and secular humanism, which does not align with the biblical timeline.
6:59: 🦕 The presence of dinosaur bones in specific rock layers is determined by the presence of index fossils, leading to the arbitrary definition of those rock layers as dinosaur rock layers.
10:17: 🐉 The video discusses the presence of dragons in the Old Testament and the shift in translation of the word 'dragon' in modern translations.
13:46: 🐉 The video discusses various instances where dragons are depicted in ancient art and culture, suggesting that dragons may have been real creatures.
17:18: 🦖 The video discusses the size and body mass of dinosaurs and their resemblance to dragons.
21:03: 🐉 Dragons are mythical creatures that may have existed during the Ice Age, but were likely affected by environmental factors and hunted by humans.

The creatures we call dinosaurs were called dragons in the ancient world.

Great video. I watched a program on PBS about 30yrs ago concerning gladiators. In one of the scenes it showed a painting on the wall of the colosseum depicting different animals the gladiators had fought. For a brief moment there was the body of what had to be a triceratops. The next day I was about to tell my brother what I had seen but he wanted to tell me about a show on the history channel he watched about gladiators. Different show but he said they were very exact and detailed about the paintings of the animals that were fought. I then told him what I had seen and showed him a short recording that I had made. He was amazed.

Myths and legends are generally based on fact

[MrHoll]

My brother convinced me YEARS ago that dragons must have actually existed. He says it's strange how mostly opposite sides of the world in the ancient days both had "myths" of the same creature, thinking of Europe and China. I never thought of it like that but dude is spot on.

[elijahscott]

The word dinosaur was invented in the mid 1800s. Before then these creatures were unanimously known as dragons in every civilization known to man

Out back Australia here. Husband and I saw a flying dragon in the night sky on a full moon in a very large circling pattern, flying overhead Twice in the same night. It was without a shadow of doubt, a flying DRAGON.
