So many people doubt the Bible for different reasons. One of them is because of the discovery of Dinosaur fossils. Did you know that the Bible does mention Dinosaurs? In fact the Bible mentions dinosaurs in great detail and one of them in particular, by name!

Job 40: 1-34 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of hisiron. He is the belly. He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

Scientists had limited choices to nonextinct species and believed that "Behemoth" to be a Hippo. Even in my own personal KJV Bible the footnotes suggests that "Behemoth" is a "Hippo" .

I am here to say that there is no way possible that "Behemoth" could ever have been a "Hippo". Look at Job 40:17 "He moveth his tail like a cedar". A hippo has a short tail more like a pig but a Behemoth had a large tail shaped like a cedar tree (Large and tapered). It only makes sense that a better choice to describe "Behemoth" is a Brachiosaurus type of land dwelling dinosaurs. It fits the description perfect.

The word "Dragon" is mentioned in the Bible so many times. In fact, "Dragon" was mentioned 21 times in the Old Testament alone. I believe that Dragon is the same thing as Dinosaur.

The word "Dinosaur" was not invented until the 1800's the KJV Bible was translated into English in 1611.

Maybe, you didn't know that the Bible even speaks of the Earth being round. From the earliest of time, great scientific minds, in all reality thought the Earth to be flat. The true knowledge was right there before our eyes in the Bible.

I am grateful for your information in this article. I am trying to re-acquaint myself with the bible and am learning new things every day. I took the passage in Job to be intangible - not literal. I guess because I have battled so many "monsters". I just love reading Job to remind me to keep the faith.

Cathie, I thank you for this information. And the gateway website for Biblical verses & references. God is in charge ... the politicians, entrepreneurs, money-makers, scientists, engineers can only rob the planet, pollute it and steal money. Jesus was always warning us about mommon and the filth of lucre! The scientists can't tell yu if PLUTO is a planet or not, they change their "FACTS" every day, so that even there is doubt about environmental and food adulteration. So do NOT LET so-called rational people pooh-pooh what you are sharing. I love it....the BIble will prevail. In REV. Jesus repeats his toungue is like a double edged sword, to sort out the believers from the profane and cocky. Best wishes; SHALOM

This is a very spurious interpretation, you read what you want to read into it. Man has been inventing monsters ever sinc ehe acme on the planet, e.g the Greek Myths. Why should this be any different. What of the 10,000 or so different dinosaus speices does this description spcifically fit? None ........its just too vague for any reasoned interpretation to be made. By the way what is the evidence for the existence of god????

Nice quotes :) I don't get why dinosaurs wouldn't be part of this "So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds" and "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind" (Genesis). Dinosuars lived on land and sea (at least) why would there be need to mention every creature specifically? Dinosaurs easily fit "every living and moving thing" and "creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals". Great article :)

This is an excellent article. My wife is "battling with an athiest and her scientist aunt".. I will be sure to pass this along to her. I also just read where the magnetic core of the earth isn't neccessarily constructed as scientists speculated. If it were formed in the expected way (ie the only way that can currently be explained without using the word hypothetically), than the supposition that the world was millions of years old would be overturned and the 6000 thousand years or so as expected by measuring generations in the bible would actually be the true measurement of the age of the earth. Can't remember where I read though.

This is great. I hope articles like this will cause scientists, etc. to study to prove it wrong. It always has the opposite effect when they do.

Yep. Nothing new under God's sun - only rediscovery of His works in whatever time they may have been or will be. Extremely well written piece!

I agree with Rebecca! It is the best book ever written! The coolest thing is, the "Story" is still unfolding. How cool is that! Very interesting article. We had a study on this at church a couple of years ago. Since I've always been interested in these subjects, it always captures my attention. Isn't research fun?

Wow! What a great article. Thank you so much for sharing this. The information is priceless. I was watching a History Channel program called "How the Earth Was Made", and it was all from a Scientific point of view, they completely tried to negate that God had anything to do with it. Thank you for your research and resource information. Bravo! Well done!
