Bible Question: I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT DINOSOURS AND ALIENS. I TEACH A CLASS TO 11-15 YEAROLDS, AND THIS IS A QUESTION THAT IS ASKED OFFTEN. IS THERE ANY REF. TO DINISOURS OR PEOPLE FROM AN OTHER WORLD OTHER THEN ANGELS. |
Bible Answer: In the book of Job there are references to two strange creatures: the behemoth and the leviathan. Classical interpretation has taken these to be references to dinosaurs. Some Modern interpretators, have say that these behemoth is a hippo or an elephant, and that the leviathan refers to a crocodile. However, let's look as the passages in question. Behemoth Read Job 41:15-24. It seems very odd to think that this creature is a dinosaur. Leviathan Job 3:8 Let those curse it who curse the day, Who are prepared to rouse Leviathan. Job 41:1 1 Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord? Psalm 74:14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan; You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. Psalm 104:26 There the ships move along, And Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it. Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, With His fierce and great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea. Notice: crocodiles do not live in the sea. Therefore how can leviathan be a crocodile? I encourage you to read all of Job 41. This is most definitely not a crocodile. As for otherworldly beings, there is no Scriptural evidence for their existence. I once had a teacher suggest that Jesus' comment that He had sheep of another flock might suggest aliend. However, it's abundantly clear that He's talking about Gentiles there, so please don't do something like that, bud. In Christ, Koinekid "Upholding Scriptural Integrity, Accuracy, and Immutability" |
