mom used an illustration during sunday school class once. years ago, a brother from church visited us. he saw a ceramic unicorn on my mom's coffee table, which was a gift from someone. he went to tell her that this mythical creature wasn't of God, etc etc etc. mom said, "well brother, i just think it's pretty. i know the unicorn doesn't exist. but if it bothers you too much and is a stumbling block, i can chop off the horn, and so it will be just a regular horse." he said it wasn't necessary lol
Well he was twice wrong... your mom was twice right... not just that it's a blessed creature, but also unicorns are in the Bible!
Numbers 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Psalms 22:21 Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
Unicorns are nothing else but SHEEP (I think I recall it's actually sheep!) that have a straight horn on their forehead grown like that. It's a genetic quirk, very rare but exists to this day... atheists trip out about this, but of course that logically people of the old times called them "unicorn" not "a sheep with a genetic abnormality"...
To me it's a symbol of how GOD will give exaltation and strength (horn) to the humble (sheep)... to fight the goats!
