FIRE BREATHING DRAGONS FACT OR FICTION

[nathan3]

if dragans did exist will GOD have them in his kingdom to come or is it only the animals we ahve today will be in the kingdom ?

If, is a pretty big word. The only if's we should concern ourselves with the conditions of if,that God sets in His words we have to meet in order to be more pleasing to Him.

It is written in Isaiah i think, that there will be animals still when Christ returns. But they will be in different bodies; it says the lion will be eating grass like an ox or lamb dose. There's no mention of dragon-animals , or unicorns in there.

 

[Isdaniel]

There are full fossil remains of huge creatures throughout the world.
What animal has legs like bands of iron and a tail like a cedar?
The same being called the "chief ways of God".
"Behold now behemoth,which I Made with thee, he eateth grass like an ox" Job 40:15
Sounds like a brontosaurus to me.

what does it mean it have the chief ways of God ?

 

[nathan3]

What does it sybolise in the bible ?

What does what symbolize ?

What about the animals that are extinct will God bring them back

 

[Isdaniel]

What does what symbolize ?

What does the behometh sybolise ?

 

[RickShafer]

what does it mean it have the chief ways of God ?

It means he was the biggest.

 

[nathan3]

It's not written, we do not know. I'm sure if God did not love animals He would not have created them. There are animals here, its written in Isaiah 11 that animals will be here in different bodies when Christ returns for the Thousand years . So its most likely they will be in the Eternity . I don't know anything about extinct animals , its not written....... But its a good thought if they were.

So you are saying that there are big dinosaures hiding somewhere on this earth ?

 

[Isdaniel]

It means he was the biggest.

so the behometh was bigger than the leviathan ?

 

[Isdaniel]

Symbolism of leviathan which was actually a real creature

Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters. Thou brakest the heads of the leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness" (Psalms 74:13). Here leviathan is associated with water and the ocean and is pictured with multiple heads.

"There go the ships; there is that leviathan, whom thou has made to play therein" (Psalms 104:26). "In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea" (Isaiah 27:1). Here he is called both a dragon and a serpent, and again is connected with the sea.

what ? Where did I say that ?? Haha . If anything I said the opposite in post #38. I was editing it and adding more while you commented on it . So No im not saying that. If that was the case we would see that naturally.

 

[RickShafer]

so the behometh was bigger than the leviathan ?

Yes.

A brontosaurus is bigger than a T-Rex.

B.T.W. - as far as 'fire breathing' goes, that is an obvious euphemism.
- How would you describe a 28' tall killer with huge mandibles lined with incisors and little arms?

 

[Isdaniel]

[h=3]Isaiah 27[/h]King James Version (KJV)

27 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

 

[Isdaniel]

Yes.

A brontosaurus is bigger than a T-Rex.

So leviathan was a t rex that lived in the water ?

 

[nathan3]

There might be some animal similar to what people THINK might be a leviathan. But in all likely hood, God is simply describing the position of the stars that make up these different pictures; that He placed in the ancient Zodiac .

All these things like dragons, leviathans, and similar images, are all pictures the stars make in the ancient Zodiac that God places there for signs , seasons , and even his words according to some scriptures in Psalms .

When you read in Revelation 12, you see the tail of the dragon draws 1/3rd of the stars of heaven and cast them to the ground. When your familiar with that teaching, how Satan, in the first age, deceived one third of God's children, called the stars, and was the events that causes us to be cast, or born from heaven and placed here.

So I'm sure that even is written in the ancient pictures of the Zodiac itself as Psalms teaches .

 

[Isdaniel]

if leviathan syboilses the devil and was an actual creature what is the deeper meaning behind Behometh

[h=3]Job 41[/h]King James Version (KJV)

41 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

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.

 

[nathan3]

I don't think there is any meaning or symbol in the behemoth ,because its not written as a teaching for symbol for anything in Job where its mentioned. The way God is using it where its mentioned is to simply illustrate that He, created it; and that in comparison, Jobs knowledge of these things are very small like us all, we are filthy rags compared to God and His righteousness

 

[RickShafer]

I might be wrong about Leviathan.
- (I'm not married to the idea of TRex)
Look folks, we have full structural fossilized bones of many huge creatures.
Now, either they were before man, concurrent to man, oor fakes.
I think they were concurrent to man until the flood.
- (In my opinion), This is also why such a title was given to Nimrod-('The Mighty Hunter Before the Lord'), the first ruler of what essentially was an empire. - The people had not scattered yet, they commenced to built the tower of Babel.

Job 41

King James Version (KJV)

41 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

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.

If you look closer, God is actually describing Satan and how powerful he is against man. It goes on to say that he mocks they weapons of men. What animal does that and if you go back to Genesis 9. God placed the fear and dread of us into all animals.
