Does JOB 40:41 speak about Dinosaurs?

[gedeon3]

yes.

[fso301]

Elephants, Buffalo, Hippopotamus, etc.

[Thumper1960]

I suspect God, or His Angels, told the writers about dinosaurs. Or, since God made man in His own image, man was intelligent enough to figure it out.

[TaraP]

I had always thought the Dinos died in the great flood.

I just don’t believe the Dinos were killed by an Asteroid like they are saying as *It’s Official*

[YouPosting2Me]

Rosie?

[jabchae]

Why didn’t Noah take a pair onto the ark?

[James C. Bennett]

In a similar fashion, the Greeks wrongly assembled mammoth bones to conclude that human-like giants were real.

"I just don’t believe the Dinos were killed by an Asteroid like they are saying as *It’s Official*"

I don't believe an impact alone killed off the dinosaurs. It just facilitated their demise. The flood you spoke of would have happened thousands of years ago. The dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years, so the time line doesn't fit with the theory of them being killed in the flood.

[irishtenor]

With a tail like a cedar? I don’t think so.

[WhatNot]

Which of the animals you describe, best resembles this verse?

17a He moveth his tail like a cedar:

[rsobin]

“Elephants, Buffalo, Hippopotamus, etc.” Wrong! Read it again.What is described doesn’t roam this world today.

[TaraP]

Some say Noah did, but after the flood they starved to death and went extinct.....

[Friendofgeorge]

Perhaps he took dino eggs or babies.

[Krankor]

Sadly, like unicorns, the dinosaurs were playing silly games.

[dalebert]

sounds like it.

[Between the Lines]

and his force is in the navel of his belly.

I thought that all dinos were hatched from eggs.

[TaraP]

That’s true....So dinos existed long before the creation of human beings but their had to be a purpose why Dinos were on the earth.....

[Richard Kimball]

Elephants, Buffalo, Hippopotamus, etc.

Problem with that is this line: 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar:

I don't know the answer, but it's difficult to think of a creature that has lived in what most believe is the period of man's presence on the earth that fits the description of the behemoth. Interesting thing about the book of Job is that no one knows when it was written. Some think it may be the oldest book of the Bible. Unlike most of the other books of the Old Testament, there's no reference that makes it fit into a time frame. Some think it's a folk tale. Others think it's something from way, way, back.

[Nateman]

They did stumble across dinosaur bones back in ancient times but mistook them for other things. That’s why they believed in the Titans: they thought the bones were of huge one eyed people!
