BEHEMOTH CROSSING

Have you ever used the term “BEHEMOTH” in a sentence?  I have when talking about something large.  I have used it and thought it was a made up word just like “ginormous”.  My kids and I use that one when it is really, really huge.  Would it surprise you that the term “Behemoth” comes from the Bible?  Would it surprise you that it is the name of a giant dinosaur mentioned in the Bible? 

Job 40: 15-24

“Look at the monster Behemoth;
I created him and I created you.
He eats grass like a cow,
but what strength there is in his body,
and what power there is in his muscles!
His tail stands up like a cedar,
and the muscles in his legs are strong.
His bones are as strong as bronze,
and his legs are like iron bars.
The most amazing of all my creatures!
Only his Creator can defeat him.
Grass to feed him grows on the hills where wild beasts play.
He lies down under the thorn bushes,
and hides among the reeds in the swamp.
The thorn bushes and the willows by the stream give him shelter in their shade.
He is not afraid of a rushing river;
he is calm when the Jordan dashes in his face.
Who can blind his eyes and capture him?
Or who can catch his snout in a trap?”

    So what is this Behemoth creature?  It would appear to be a dinosaur and it would also appear to be living with man.  This creature could not be any animal that we know of that is living today.  Lets consider which animals from the Bible live with us today-- sheep, donkeys, lambs, lions, snakes, but not this one.  The Behemoth is an extraordinary example of how human reasoning can not compare to Biblical truth.  There is no explanation for why this is except dinosaurs lived among humans in the last 4000 years.  “Who knew “The Land of the Lost" was so accurate.  BEHEMOTH lived among humans.  Take it all in and breath it.  Dinosaurs lived among people.  In the garden with Adam and Eve they breathed air and ate plants.  They are mentioned in the Bible during Jobs lifetime, so they were here for a while and it was not billions of years ago.  Amazing.  Truly amazing.  TRUTH is not a grey area, it is BLACK OR it is WHITE.  God wants us to read His Word.  This is from God’s word and this is what I believe and accept as Biblical truth.  I am in awe of this knowledge.
