Dragons

Hi Everyone! Today's post is going to be on dragons!

                             Now, how many of you have heard dragons aren't real? They're made up? They're just in legends, myths, and fairy tales? I'm sure a lot of you have been told that, but in reality dragons use to be real, live, creatures that roamed the planet. (And may still roam the planet today)

Ever wonder why dragons are so much like dinosaurs?

Evolution tells us that dinosaurs evolved la-de-da millions of years ago, and all that other stuff, but this my friend is a lie. Dinosaurs were created by our loving God on day six in the Creation week.

Have you ever questioned why you don't find the word dinosaur in the bible? This question has confused many Christians, leading them astray to evolutionism, but there is an easy answer. The Bible was translated in 1611. However, the word dinosaur was not coined until 1841, by a British anatomist, Richard Owen. Hence, "dinosaur" didn't exist.              

                 So, what did people in the olden days call these beasts (dinosaurs)? Drum roll please!

                                                         They were called...  dragons!

God's Word mentions various times that dragons and people shared the same earth ever since man was created.

 In Job 40, God mentions a large beast, behemoth. This creature is described as the dinosaur: Brachiosaurus. Many Christians have come to believe that behemoth was either an elephant or a hippopotamus, but this untrue. In verse 17 ("He moveth his tail like a cedar"), it clearly removes the possibilities of behemoth being an elephant or hippopotamus. Have you ever seen an elephant or hippopotamus with a tail that moves as a cedar? I know I haven't!

In Job 41, God mentions a monstrous sea creature, Leviathan.  This dragon is also known as the dinosaur, Kronosaurus. 

Some may ask, "If dinosaurs (dragons) lived at the same time as people, how come no one writes about them in history?"

As we remember, dinosaurs and dragons are the same, so lets take a look at all the dragon records around the world! In times past, there have come to be many legends and myths about dragons, but are these really legends? Or are they encounters with actual dragons?

In Greece there was a cave near a lake where a mighty beast lived. That beast was known as the Hydra. This creature was said to have been killed by Hercules. The Hydra was known for regenerating its head after being cut off.

Here are some recorded encounters with dragons!

Alexander the Great had an encounter with a very large serpent while on a conquest in India, which he was told not to kill, for the Indians liked the large serpent.

Athanasius Kircher was a 17th century scholar and researcher, who wrote of many encounters with dragons in De Draconibus a chapter in his book Mundus Subterraneus.

In Tombstone, Arizona a large winged monster was found killed on the Huachuca desert.

There have been many reports of dragons all through the world. Dragons may still live today. The reason we don't see dragons when we walk outside, is most likely due to the fact our living environment is not fit for them, and we are a potential threat. Most dragons were killed off after the flood, because men sought to kill them. Killing a dragon could have given you a mighty title, thousands of years ago.

When God created the world, dragons (as well as all other creatures) ate only plants, but after man sinned, death and destruction came into the world, and dragons became monstrous creatures.

There are some parts of Africa (and other parts of the world) still undiscovered by man, where there is a possibility dragons may roam.

Wouldn't it be exciting to see a real, live, breathing dragon today?!
