Dinosaurs in the Bible
Job 40 & 41
The Background – Job 38-39
The context begins in Job 38:39
God confronts Job with mysteries of 10 different animals (all real animals)
Job can’t answer God, so God then describes His power to Job with the Behemoth and the Leviathan

10. Job and the Great Dinosaur Mystery
The Behemoth – Job 40:15ff
“Behold now, Behemoth, which I made as well as you; he eats grass like an ox.
“Behold now, his strength in his loins and his power in the muscles of his belly.
“He bends his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.
“His bones are tubes of bronze; his limbs are like bars of iron.

11. Job and the Great Dinosaur Mystery
“He is the first of the ways of God; let his maker bring near his sword.
“Surely the mountains bring him food, and all the beasts of the field play there.
“Under the lotus plants he lies down, in the covert of the reeds and the marsh.
“The lotus plants cover him with shade; the willows of the brook surround him.

12. Job and the Great Dinosaur Mystery
“If a river rages, he is not alarmed; he is confident, though the Jordan rushes to his mouth.
“Can anyone capture him when he is on watch, with barbs can anyone pierce his nose?

13. Job and the Great Dinosaur Mystery
He eats vegetation (v 15)
He is very powerful with a huge tail (vv 16-18)
He lives in or near the water (vv 21-23)
He cannot be controlled by man (v 24)
He is NOT a hippopotamus or an elephant
His description fits that of a large plant-eating dinosaur such as diplodocus or brachiosaurus

16. Job and the Great Dinosaur Mystery
The Leviathan – Job 41
“Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?
“Can you put a rope in his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?
“Will he make many supplications to you, or will he speak to you soft words?
“Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him for a servant forever?

17. Job and the Great Dinosaur Mystery
“Will you play with him as with a bird, or will you bind him for your maidens?
“Will the traders bargain over him? Will they divide him among the merchants?
“Can you fill his skin with harpoons, or his head with fishing spears?
“Lay your hand on him; remember the battle; you will not do it again!

18. Job and the Great Dinosaur Mystery
“Behold, your expectation is false; will you be laid low even at the sight of him?
“No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him; who then is he that can stand before Me?
“Who has given to Me that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is Mine.
“I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, or his mighty strength, or his orderly frame.

19. Job and the Great Dinosaur Mystery
“His sneezes flash forth light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
“Out of his mouth go burning torches; sparks of fire leap forth.
“Out of his nostrils smoke goes forth as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
“His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes forth from his mouth.

20. Job and the Great Dinosaur Mystery
“When he raises himself up, the mighty fear; because of the crashing they are bewildered.
“The sword that reaches him cannot avail, nor the spear, the dart or the javelin.
“He regards iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood.
“The arrow cannot make him flee; slingstones are turned into stubble for him.

Isaiah 14:29 & 30:6
 ”Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod that struck you is broken; for from the serpent’s root a viper will come out, and its fruit will be a flying serpent.”
The oracle concerning the beasts of the Negev.  Through a land of distress and anguish, from where come lioness and lion, viper and flying serpent, they carry their riches on the backs of young donkeys and their treasures on camels’ humps, to a people who cannot profit them;

26. Job and the Great Dinosaur Mystery
