Dinosaurs Do Not Exist
The Dinosaur Deception
For a long time I have desired to establish a page on this website about dinosaurs, debunking their existence in history to rid a foolishness from your minds. In order to do so, I will need to spiritually define two major sources of information within the bible, known as Behemoth and Leviathan. But before we begin, if you have not read my reasoning for why the world would lie about the size and shape of the earth on the top of my Flat Earth page, please do so. It clearly explains the purpose of conspiracies such as this one, and the benefits to the world for establishing them, to keep the masses in a deep geographic and historical sleep.
The reason I will be beginning with Behemoth and Leviathan in this section is because they are the two sources of information that typical foolish pastors use to explain away a false history they cannot comprehend. However, by the end of my explanations you will clearly see their proper physical and spiritual representations as intended, and have a deeper understanding of true biblical definitions for terms and metaphors.
Part 1 - Behemoth
Section 1: Physical Representation
We will begin with the behemoth, a name for a beast established within Job 40, who is described in great detail, if you know where to look. I will break this down into manageable steps so you can see how to build a conclusion when studying a particular subject within the bible. However, in order to properly prove my conclusion, I will need to provide it to you before we continue, so that I can align these verses according to the beast they represent. Through this physical representation I will prove to you that behemoth is describing a rhinoceros in the following verses.
Job 40
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
We learn four things from this mention of behemoth. The first being that behemoth is not capitalized, therefore it is not a name for a specific person, but is the name that represents a noun, such as a beast. Second, he can be “beheld”, meaning viewed and is not invisible (which would be spiritual only). Third, he was made with Job, meaning not made before man existed, but existing with man at the same time (disproving historical representations of behemoth before people, aka dinosaurs). And fourth, he eateth grass as an ox, therefore is a herbivore, a beast that feeds on plants, just like a rhinoceros.
Job 40
16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
From here we can see that his strength rests in his legs, meaning he must be strong enough to move his body with force for a purpose. This indicates a central center of gravity (from the loins and navel), which is defined from Oxford Languages as, “a point from which the weight of a body or system may be considered to act.” Which is exactly how a rhinoceros generates it's force and momentum.
And we also can see something extremely telling, that this particular beast possesses a navel. This is significant because if you believed in the common reptilian description of dinosaurs and their association with leviathan and behemoth, that would be an impossibility.
A navel is what is known as a “belly-button”, or the location in which the umbilical cord is attached at birth. The only beasts that possess a navel are those that are mammals, which directly disqualifies behemoth from being a supposed dinosaur. All dinosaurs were purportedly egg-laying reptiles, meaning their embryos received all the nutrients required from their yolk sac, and would not contain a navel.
Next I will explain the first half of Job 40, verse 17 which says,
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar:
This verse is typically used to say that behemoths tail is “as long as a cedar tree” and therefore is a large dinosaur. Which is foolish because it clearly states that he moveth his tail like a cedar moves itself. Cedar trees have tall trunks and at their crown is a bush of leaves. Because they are so tall (30-40m, or 100-130ft), the tops of the trees tend to sway back and forth, flicking their crowns from side to side, as you can see in this video.
Their movement is very similar to that of how a rhinoceros moves his tail, and their appearance even matches. A rhinoceros tail is long, thicker at the base, and comes to a tip with a crown of hair, just like a cedar.
Now we will finish the rest of verse 17 which says,
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
The word “sinew” is defined by Oxford Languages as, “a piece of tough fibrous tissue uniting muscle to bone or bone to bone; a tendon or ligament.” And it’s plural form is defined as, “the parts of a structure, system, or thing that give it strength or bind it together.” Using this explanation, and viewing the thick plated skin of a rhinoceros, you will be able to understand why the word “stones” is used.
As you can see, the skin of the rhinoceros has the appearance of stones, and according to this article, their skin can be up to two inches (2”) thick and is made up of fibers and collagen (sinews) that are woven (wrapped) together. Some even call it their “body armor” because of how strong these fibrous stones can be.
Job 40
18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
The reason for the distinction between the brass and iron here is to first describe the color of their bones, using the word “as” because it gives the visual for the strong, individual pieces of brass, as you can see below. Then the Bible states that they are “like” bars of iron, describing the sturdiness of their structural components. A rhinoceros can weigh more than 7,000 lbs, which proves how their bones are like iron, holding up their massive anatomy. Additionally, they can also carry 900 lbs or more on their back, according to this article, without impeding their musculoskeletal function.
Job 40
20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
These verses are all describing the physical habitats of the rhinoceros, which are native to Africa and Southeast Asia. We see that mountains and fields are where he feeds, and also he is located in a region around other beasts. He spends his time in the shade, or covert of reeds (tall, leaved plants of the grass family, growing in water or marshy ground), and fens (a low, marshy, and frequently flooded area of land). As well as, within streams and rivers, because the Bible states that the willows are compassed around him within the brook.
We already learned that rhinos are herbivores, and feed on various plants, as stated with the mountains and fields bringing forth their food. According to this website, we can see that rhinos are more active in the morning and evening, spending their daytime sleeping or resting (lying) in shade or water to avoid the heat. Also spending time around other animals (beasts), birds even lodging upon them in a symbiotic relationship of sorts, aligning with the description of the trees, and covering of shadows, often associated with birds in the bible. But in general, their habitat is very situated around savannas, grasslands, and forests, where water and mud holes can be found.
Job 40
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
This verse has multiple spiritual implications that we will get into in the next section, but the physical manifestations should be evident and we will see how they align with our depiction of the rhinoceros. First, the fact that the rhinos habitat is situated around rivers is well suited for this explanation. But secondly, the more descriptive factor is that it shows that this beast can consume large amounts of water.
According to this website, we see that the white rhino (as the other rhinoceros species) can drink up to 80 liters of water in a single day. This is why the Bible illustrates the imagery of drawing up the Jordan into its mouth.
Additionally, in the video below you can see that the rhinoceros "hasteth not", meaning drinks slowly, being a larger mammal of the field with far less predators. Unlike some animals that will consume their water extremely quickly for fear of becoming prey, as well as various other biological reasons.
Job 40
24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
We will cover the first half of this verse in more detail when I explain the spiritual representations of behemoth, in how he can take the Jordan with his eyes. But there are other forms of biblically accurate eyes, which are the eyes of the neurons, as explained in this blog post The Dreadful Rings. Meaning, all of the senses are eyes to the hidden mind to gather information from the outside world. One example you can see from these images of rhinos is, their ears are cup shaped to funnel sounds from their environment and locate the things they require such as the sound of rivers, streams, other animals nearby, etc. Taking in their vast territory through the use of their physical locators.
The second half of the scripture shows us an integral part of his physical description in that his nose has the capability of piercing objects. This is an evident and well-known trait of the rhinoceros, that their noses contain a strong, and pointed horn used for that very task. According to this article, rhino horns are composed primarily of keratin, a protein found in human hair and fingernails. They form in layers, like skin cells, but these layers become hardened and solidify down to the center of the horn. This allows it to be used in their protection, which is why the bible stated their nose pierces through snares, it means they get out of danger using this very mechanism.
Section 2: Spiritual Representation
This section will be updated after Part 2 - Leviathan, Section 1: Physical Representation is completed.
Part 2 - Leviathan
Section 1: Physical Representation
We will now cover the leviathan, a name for the beast described in most detail throughout Job 41, but also has many other depictions throughout scripture. Unlike behemoth, which is only mentioned once in Job 40.
Again, I will break these verses down into individual parts and use them to prove my conclusion, but you must first hear which well-known beast they represent in order for me to do so. With these physical explanations I will prove to you that leviathan is in fact describing a crocodile.
Job 41
1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?
Beginning with these two scriptures we learn where we would find leviathan, somewhere where a cord with a hook and thorn can be let down. A cord with a hook is clearly describing a fishing pole, therefore, leviathan must be located within the waters. Additionally, we see that he is too strong to be bore through with a simple fishing hook, and too powerful to be taken up by a cord.
We also learn that leviathan has a nose, which is not a feature that can be found on fish. This gives the mention of his nose, and strong jaw, significance as defining characteristics. We are beginning to build the picture that leviathan is a powerful beast within fishing waters, that should not be taken lightly, just as a crocodile.
Job 41
3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?
4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?
5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
These next four verses give us additional proof that Job 40, and Job 41 are not describing dinosaurs at all, because of how integrated these beasts are with humans. You can clearly see how each scripture shows a particular aspect of leviathan interacting with a man or a group, which would be impossible if this was describing a time before people existed.
Verses 3 and 4 are describing what it would be like to have a pet, where a cat meows, or a dog kindly barks, both to get your attention, in an agreement (covenant) that you will provide them food for companionship (servant). However, the crocodile is not so. Think of all the beasts in the wild that have been tamed, and that people even take for pets (lions, tigers, hyenas, etc.), do you ever see someone with a crocodile?
Verse 5 and 6 further support this point by saying, with you play with him as with a bird, or make a banquet of him. You can play with a bird by chasing it around, by holding a hand out for it to land on, by caging it. Can you chase around a crocodile? Can you hold your hand out and not expect it to be bitten off?
How about his body parts, do you often see them selling alligator or crocodile meat at the local grocery store like they do chicken? The answer to these questions is no, because the scriptures are describing a beast that is rarely threatened by humans, and yet lives amongst their fishing grounds.
Job 41
7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?
8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?
10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?
Another feature of the crocodile is its extremely thick and tough skin, which is why the bible is rhetorically questioning man’s ability to pierce it with fishing equipment. This not only further proves that men see leviathan regularly (meaning they cannot be “dinosaurs”), but also depicts another recognizable trait we associate with this beast.
Crocodiles skin is also composed of keratin like behemoth but develops in a scale like fashion. Additionally, between these scales there is even more protective armor in the form of bony plates called osteoderms that overlap each other, according to this article.
Hence why the bible says that barbed irons and fish spears are not good enough to overcome this beast. Also mentioning that if a hand is laid upon him, he will make sure you remember the battle with a lasting wound. That is why you don’t see people getting excited to see crocodiles or alligators lurking in the water, they are cast down at the sight of their appearing. Most understand that these are fierce and fearsome predators.
Job 41
12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
These next three verses begin to enlighten the crocodile explanation even further, beginning with 12 speaking about his bodily features. This is significant because according to Britannica, crocodiles are the largest and the heaviest reptiles today. The Nile crocodile can grow up to 7 meters (23 feet) in length and weigh more than 1,200 kg (2,650 lbs), showing why his parts, power, and proportion are mentioned. Additionally, the bible states he will not be “concealed” meaning these variables are measurable, unlike some hidden deep sea monster or dinosaur like some believe leviathan to be.
Next, the bible speaks about the face of his garment, which can be defined as the underside (face, exposed area) of his skin (his covering, or garment). It says who can discover it because a reptile of such weight and power will not be put upon his back as you see some animals do in the wild when they submit themselves to another. The face of the crocodile’s garment is always covered as he walks, turning up his belly to no man or beast. Secondly, a double bridle is that which you put in a horse's mouth to direct his ways when it is being ridden. Illustrating that no man will be jumping on the back of this beast and controlling his movements with a leash.
Then lastly, and probably the most indicative verse of the chapter is 14 stating that the face of this beast has doors with terrible teeth. This describes the crocodile perfectly with its extremely long mouth anatomy, its jaw even being attached to the skull by a hinge according to Zoonerdy just as a door has hinges. This allows for an easy opening and closing mechanism, and adds leverage for their powerful bite. Their teeth are even described as “sharp and serrated”, poised for tearing apart their prey with up to 3,000 pounds per square inch of force.
Job 41
15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
Here we see an another description of the crocodile’s scales, and the bible even goes into depth on their physiological makeup. According to CSG, the skin of a crocodile is made up of a network of interconnected scales, of various shapes and sizes. These scales give the beast its armor and are aligned in such a way to form this organized pattern, with every section having a particular purpose of protection.
The more pronounced scales (his pride), have bone deposits within them (the osteoderms we discussed earlier), that are woven together, and even have a rich blood supply. The skin of the crocodile is so thick that the areas without these large bone deposits, such as the belly, are used in the leather industry.
The reason the bible states that the scales have a close seal, that no air can come between them, and stick together, is because of their epidermis and dermis (top and middle) layers of skin are highly collagenous. Collagen is the main structural protein found in skin and connective tissue, and crocodile skin being rich in B-keratins (the fibrous protein forming nails, claws, teeth) gives the air tight seal for their scales.
And though areas such as the head may contain less dense patches of osteoderms, the skin is nearly two times thicker and more keratinized in the epidermis to make up the protection. Hence why their skin cannot be sundered (split apart, cleaved, or divided) because that connective tissue is so concentrated along the entire crocodile.
Job 41
18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
These next four verses rely heavily upon spiritual explanations which I will briefly touch on in this section. However, I would like to first cover his eyes being like the eyelids of the morning in verse 18. According to CSG, crocodile eyes have a transparent eyelid that moves sideways across the eye when the animal submerges or attacks prey. This is very symbolic of the way light moves across the horizon with the sun, following it as a covering, or a “train” of its rays that eventually give way to darkness (eye into socket).
Additionally, crocodiles have a layer of guanine crystals in their eyes called a retinal tapetum, which is a reflective layer of tissue that creates something called an “eyeshine”. When a spotlight or a torch shines onto a crocodile at night, it creates a dense red reflection, depicting the eyelids of the morning given to us by the scriptures.
The neesings and seething pot (boiling water) descriptions represent the bubbles created by the sneezes, growls, and hissings of the crocodile as it raises its head above water. And when I cover the spiritual representations of both behemoth and leviathan I will explain verses 19 through 21 in greater detail. But for now, at the end of this blog post it shows the symbolism of a crocodile within the body and illustrates the burning lamps, smoke, and flame coming from the mouth. They are all manifestations of spiritual concepts that occur when preaching the word of God boldly via the lungs and ribcage (leviathan).
Job 41
22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.
To begin, we see the bible talking about the neck of this beast, and how it contains the strength of his body, turning the sorrow of his prey into his own joy. This is an interesting inclusion because there is a method in which crocodiles attack that is indicative of their species doing something called a “death roll”. It is a rapid rotation beginning at the head and neck, where they spin their entire body along this axis after biting into their target. The force generated from the roll is meant to break bones, drown, and just overall bring damage to their prey to make for easier consumption.
Secondly, we have already covered the crocodile’s flesh in great detail, so I will not delve into that information again. However, notice how the bible states that the “flakes” are “firm in themselves” meaning the scales themselves contain the bones individually, just as we have been seeing in my previous descriptions.
Thirdly, another very significant feature of the crocodile is its heart, which distinguishes it from other reptiles. Most reptiles do not have separate right and left ventricles in the heart, and their hearts act as a single pressure pump, as seen here. However, according to this article, crocodiles do have completely separated left and right ventricles, just like birds and mammals. This is important because it explains the context of verse 24. First, the bible speaks about a heart firm as stone, just like Zechariah 7,
12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
It is a reference to nothing being able to change their mind, just like one cannot change the mind of a crocodile with negotiations, he is a predator without a covenant. But the verse also gives us the illustration of the millstone, saying it “as hard as a piece of the nether millstone” showing that the bible is describing a two ventricle system. The word nether means “lower in position” according to Oxford Languages, and the way a millstone operates is a two stone system for grinding grain. The bible is portraying the crocodile heart through this explanation to further show it is distinct from other reptiles.
Job 41
25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
We begin with verse 25 which portrays movement that is characteristic of a crocodile by saying “he raiseth up himself”. Crocodiles are known to raise their head up out of water to scan for prey, as well as to inhale oxygen, while hiding the rest of their body for their own protection. The bible states that “by reason of breakings” the mighty purify themselves, which means that when the crocodile “breaks” the surface of the water to scan, they begin praying for their sins so-to-speak, in order to purify themselves in case of death.
Then we see the bible speaking about weapons used for typical sea creatures, are no match for the armor of the crocodile, as I have explained before. But in verse 27, the bible talks about leviathan esteeming iron as straw, meaning in the way that you can break a piece of straw, he could break a piece of iron. This is a significant statement, because it alludes to the biteforce of the crocodile, which for saltwater crocs, is a 3,700 pound per square inch (psi) force, also measured as 16,460 newtons (according to National Geographic). This is the strongest bite force of any beast in the animal kingdom, so you can understand why the bible makes the statement about iron. He could tear apart any typical fishing equipment or weapon to shreds if he desired.
Additionally, there are not many things that could make a crocodile flee battle. If you watch any videos online of their fights, being stabbed with serrated teeth, knives, arrows, will not slow this beast down. And a slingstone (something that can be used for hunting other animals), would simply turn to dust when hitting against his armor. Most weapons may not even pierce, depending on where they hit along his body, which is why he would physiologically laugh at a spear.
Job 41
30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.
31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.
32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.
Before we begin with verse 30, I need to explain what a mire is so you can understand the context. According to Oxford Languages, a mire is a stretch of swampy or boggy ground, which is a perfect definition for the habitat of many crocodiles. Therefore, the sharp pointed things that are spread upon the mire are illustrating the clawed webbed toes of this beast that he uses for transport upon the surface and underwater. According to this BPF article, we can see that their claws are also made of keratin, are used for tearing at their prey, and can grow up to 6 inches long.
Additionally, as crocodiles travel under water, their movement stirs up the murky vegetation which releases methane from the rotting plants (see article here). When organic matter from plants and trees begin to decay, bacteria consumes the matter and release a methane gas, which when disturbed, will send the gas to the surface. This is why the bible says that leviathan makes the deep to boil, because of the bubbles that rise to the surface. Also, all the organic material that is released when it is stirred up, creates the look of a pot of ointment. And sometimes, they just simply blow air out of their mouth and nostrils while submerged, generating a boiling like effect upon the surface.
Lastly, they also use their webbed feet for powerful swimming, providing a mechanism of thrust for the crocodile to swim up to 20 mph in short bursts. Hence why the bible stated that he makes a path to shine after him, because the speed at which they travel creates a wake of water following them like we see with boats. The word hoary means a grayish white color, like “the hoary head” of Proverbs 16, which is the exact color that can be seen when bubbles and waves are created within the deep.
