Right, so we agree the writer is not talking about an elephant, anyone can approach an elephant, it doesn’t take an act of God to do that.
No, you’re not reading what I wrote, or what the Bible states. Only God can approach the beast with God’s sword. Do you have God’s sword? Can you wield it? No, only God can. And only God can approach the beast with it.
But let’s just say it’s not an elephant - what is it?
Well, in that case, has anyone found dinosaur fossils yet, made of brass?
