+ What Did Dinosaurs Do?

Farmer with the dragons

Jeremiah 14:4-6 (KJV)4 Because the ground is chapt, (cracked) for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads. 5 Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass. 6 And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.

A flying serpent in the Bible: the ‘fiery flying serpent’ (Isa. 30:6). This could be a reference to one of the pterodactyls, which are popularly thought of as flying dinosaurs, such as the Pteranodon, Rhamphorhynchus or Ornithocheirus.

+ "Behemoth" Job 40:15-24

Was a large, grass eater

Had great muscles and extremely strong bones

Was not afraid of anything

Had a tail so large it was compared to a large cedar tree

Rests in marshes--flooding rivers do not alarm it

Cannot be trapped or domesticated

> Hipo 5x cannot be a Hippo because of Job 40:17 "He bends his tail like a cedar". A hippo has a short tail like a pig. Behemoth, had a large tail shaped like a cedar tree (large and tapered). I believe a better choice is that Behemoth is a Brachiosaurus type of large land dwelling dinosaur. It fits the description perfect.

+ Behemoth - Now that is a Dinosaur

+ "Leviathan" Job 41

- Fearsome

- Fire-breathing (v.21) monster . This should not be an incredible surprise, as we have a beetle today that contains an explosive producing mechanism.

- Scaly hide (vs.15-17) could not be pierced with sword or spear (vs.7,26-29).

> 5x - Translations (Crocodile)

> Cannot be a Crocodile but is probably a Elasmosaurus type of large water-dwelling dinosaur. Here is what Job 41 says with my comments in brackets, "v9 you be laid low even at the sight of him? (This was a large animal) v10 No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him; v25 When he raises himself up, the mighty fear; (crocs don’t raise up at all but are always low) Because of the crashing they are bewildered. v26 (This animal was large! This animal made seismic thunder as it walked. You know...that slow, low, terrifying thud that Jurassic park portrayed so well.) v26 The sword that reaches him cannot avail; (crocs are quite easy to kill with a good spear) Nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin.

>Job 41:10, 19-21

> (Croc wrestling is a sport, the croc usually looses) v31 He makes the depths boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a jar of ointment. v32 Behind him he makes a wake to shine; (crocs make little wake if any) v34 He looks on everything that is high" (again it was a tall animal with a long neck).

+What happened to the Dinosaur?

The dinosaurs died for the same reasons animals become extinct today

> Climatic change

> Competition with other animals for food

> Disease

> Man’s activities

> Extinction

Is 27:1 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.
