And our verse of the week is Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Amen. That is Psalms chapter 23 verse 6. Our service times are 10 30 AM for our morning service and our evening service is 3 30 PM. I'll be preaching about dinosaurs in the Bible this morning. And that's why I got this little little guy right here. He looks nice doesn't he. Anyway it's the only one I had. I should have called somebody to bring some different ones but anyway it is what it is. I got one on my tie. So anyhow so Thursday nights is our Bible study and oh Sunday this evening I'm starting a new series and it's pictures of the Antichrist. So I'll be preaching some sermons about how there's certain people that picture the Antichrist and in the end I'm going to preach a sermon about the Antichrist the Antichrist not the picture. So anyway that I'm not sure how many weeks I'll be doing that but it'll be a few at least several maybe I don't know depends on what I come up with this one the one I'm preaching about Nimrod this morning the pictures of the Antichrist from Nimrod. But I just really found a lot of great scriptures about that. So anyway that'll be tonight at 3 30 PM Thursday Bible studies at 6 30 p.m. we're going through the book of Titus will be in Titus Chapter 2 not this Thursday but next Thursday and we'll finish that chapter off or so many times we'll listen below we have so many today if you're planning on going so many it's going to be hot today so make sure you take plenty of drink plenty of water and maybe wear a hat or something along those lines. So and then yeah just make sure that you let brother Conlon brother Sean Conlon know that you're going out so he can get you paired up. He's going to have the maps in the WhatsApp group if you're not in the WhatsApp group you don't know what I'm talking about just see brother Conlon. Will you raise your hand brother Conlon so everybody can see who you are. All right. Thank you very much. And let's see the praise report you can see the salvation's baptisms and attendance for last week and I think there should be a 15 for the salvation's on so Ryland if you're listening put that to 15 and then Thursday we have a we need it's not Thursday it's actually Wednesday brother Corbin the deacon of faith for Baptist Church and the leader of the Tucson Church down there faithful word Tucson is driving up tonight. He's going to begin his incredible journey in a U-Haul truck. So he's bringing a baby grand piano and so we can we can make a specified time when men can help but we need at least five men to help. So he ended up renting one and it doesn't have like a ramp. The bed is only 32 inches high so we'll probably we're probably going to have to just like you know it's like four or five hundred pounds so it's going to take some muscle to get it out but we're going to roll it right through that door we're going to put it right there so Wednesday if we could get some help moving all this we're probably going to just put the electric piano in storage or something for now or maybe we can have dueling pianos or something I don't know but yeah we're going to get someone what time is the tuner coming do you know what time Thursday morning the tuner is coming. OK so somebody can meet him here to let him in because I'll be at work. So yeah well anyway we'll figure that out after the service but yeah we'll have a baby grand so it should sound really good. We're going to get some microphones and things like that to help out with the sound so you don't just hear the song later singing you hear the rest of the orchestra and the piano anyway so the next day which is Thursday is our normal Bible study time Deacon Russell is going to be preaching for us and that's going to kick off our four year anniversary weekend so it's going to start early. Normally we just have a Friday service and have a preacher come in and we already have that. We have Pastor Jared Pizarnsky preaching for us Friday night at six thirty p.m. So I'm very excited to have Brother Jared Pastor Jared here and the deacon so they're great preachers and that's going to so that will start our off our weekend there and then Saturday we're going to be doing a soul wanting time from 10 30 in the morning to the afternoon and it says barbecue and bounce house but that's not going to happen. It's going to be like 100 degrees outside or something. So unless somebody else wants to stand out there and man the thing I don't think anybody wants to do that. I think if you get in the bounce house and the sun has directly been on it I'm sure it's going to burn your kids. Oh Pastor burned the kids. You know Pastor Thompson and he burns the kids. Anyway I don't want to hear that. So he burned he burnt the meat and he burned the kids. So but anyway we're looking at the sky zone. That's probably what's going to end up happening and they don't have a room big enough for us. So what we'll do is we'll probably just get like one of those party packs or whatever and there'll be a certain amount of socks that are distributed that way. Does anybody have their sky zone socks. Like how many pair do you have. OK so and adults are more than welcome to bounce and you know I don't know if they have like kids of all ages. I'm sure they probably do. It might be pretty busy in there but I don't know it's going to be a hot day. So a lot of people want to be outside maybe. Well I want to be in the air conditioning. So anyway if you're coming we need you. Mr. Juju did you make a sign up sheet in the group. OK well we'll have a sign up sheet made. So if you're coming we need to know so we can pay for the however many people are actually going and bouncing. OK. So if you're not planning on bouncing you're just watching. Do they charge for OK. Good. So if you're not going to bounce I just need to know how many are coming in your family and how many are bouncing. So then I can just kind of account for the food and for the bouncers. All right. So anyway maybe you guys can play some dodge ball hit some kid in the face. Pastor Thompson got a kid hit in the face. Anyway blame for everything. So the next day we're having Pastor Joe Jones will be preaching for us in the 10 30 service. So very excited to have Pastor Jones here. He'll be with us on Saturday probably for the soul winning as well. And then I'll be preaching the Sunday evening service. So that'll be the end of all that. And then our calendar is pretty much open. So I'm sure we need to do some so many marathons for the next couple of months and want to plan Yakima. But anyway that's a different announcement for a different time. So let's see we're a family church. That means the children and infants are welcome during the church services. And we do have mother baby rooms and dad baby room a dad baby room available. Just one room I guess one mom baby room is back there and the dad big room is back there. Please utilize those rooms for your convenience. We just we definitely don't want kids screaming through the service so please if they start screaming or crying really loud just please take them promptly to one of those rooms. And we'd appreciate that. And you know if it comes I would say if it's like two times where they just have like a freak out or something just stay in the mother baby room or the dad baby room for the rest of the service so you're not you know disrupting the services the preaching and other people trying to hear. OK I'd appreciate that. And there's no men allowed in the mother baby rooms or mothers and the dad baby rooms during the church services. So please recognize that rule. The glider chairs or rocker chairs are for pregnant and nursing mothers and elders only. And if you have a lot of children or just children that you might have to take back into the mother baby rooms just maybe try to sit in the very back. I know we're not we're not like we don't have like a huge building or something. So you're going to hear anything. I'm not saying just like goo goo gaga or things like that. I'm talking about like on cue every time. No I'm just kidding. But anyway so please no unattended children in any area of the building. Watch your children. I don't care how old they are. Watch them and silence your cell phones please. No food in the assembly area. And that's this area here where we're sitting. Our reports are available by the ushers to your vehicles should you need one. Our donations are available at our website that's listed on the bottom of the page there. And so we have July birthdays. We've had several July birthdays and Kenny's birthday was yesterday. Where's Kenny at? OK. He's not hiding good. He tried to get by. Be sure your birthday will find you out. We will find out. So and then Beatrice is going to have a birthday on the 28th and Sophie the 29th. Wow how'd that happen. That was family family planning. Let's just knock them out in one week. You know two days we got the birthdays all handled and all that stuff. And we did and I and so we're going to sing to them in just a minute. But we also have a birth announcement. Congratulations to the Yankee family. Timothy James Berry Yankee was born at 11 a.m. 7 22 22 and he was seven pounds and 10 ounces.

day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day day and you know the word of God is true so you know if you have any preconceived notions about dinosaurs you know hopefully this today this sermon will help you you're in Genesis chapter number one look what the Bible says in verse 31 and it says and God saw every thing that he made and behold it was what's it say very good and the evening in the morning were the sixth day so it didn't take millions of years for everything to form it didn't take billions of years for everything to form you know we didn't come from rain that rained on rocks for billions of years and then finally two slugs crawled out or to the first amoebas or whatever they want to say now they change their theories all the time you know they think you know they think that they said that dinosaurs were killed out by flatulence that's that's one of their theories their own forts killed them that's a I mean that's what that's look folks that's what we're dealing with that's what we're up against so anyway the reason why I showed you this verse because it said that God said everything he made now look at Exodus chapter 20 verse number 11 Exodus chapter 20 verse number 11 Exodus 20 verse number 11 is where God gives the 10 commandments and he says in verse 11 for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth so he made the heaven he made the earth the sea and all that in them is so everything that's on this planet was made by God in six days isn't that what the bible says so how can dinosaurs be first of all separated from mankind for millions of years and second of all how can you say that dinosaurs are not in the bible because if dinosaurs we find their skeletons and their fossils all over the earth and that's because of the flood by the way then how can you say that there is no dinosaurs in the bible the dinosaurs were made with Adam and Eve Adam you know they were made some of the reptile marine reptiles were made on day five and you know man was made on day six but you know Adam named all the animals right all the animals were brought to Adam to be named and you know a lot of people like to mock Noah's ark the Noah's ark story and say how could you fit millions of animals in the ark well number one bugs and things that lived in the water didn't have to go in the ark so that takes a big jump out of it but the bible talks about there being kinds of animals so you know you take a zebra and you take a horse and you say well they probably had a common ancestor and I agree with you there are probably it was a horse it was a horse looking creature it wasn't just some animal that formed over millions of years so but the bible says that God made everything in the earth that includes dinosaurs folks and so how do we reckon these things and I'm going to try to do my best to explain these things to you in Acts chapter four verse number twenty four the bible says and when they heard that they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said Lord thou art God which has made heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is so it's repeated in the New Testament look that's what the bible teaches and if you're a Christian today you should actually believe what the bible says versus what science teaches but science does not contradict the bible science falsely so called contradicts the bible when they give this big bang theory and raining on the rocks look they believe our great great great great great great great great great great whatever ancestor was a rock if you I mean if you follow the logic if it rained on the rocks and then rocks and rain made life no God made life right so the first dinosaur fossils were recognized in the early 19th century on who knows if that's true or not I mean we know that that was the modern cataloging of them but it says with the name dinosaur mean terrible lizard being coined by Sir Richard Owen in 1841 to refer to these great fossil lizards so 1841 is pretty recent in history isn't it so people say well how do you explain dinosaurs in the bible well they weren't called dinosaurs because the word dinosaur was not even invented until 1841 dinosaur was not even invented until 1841 what were they called before that they were called dragons in the bible there's multiple references to the word dragon and dragons multiple references so if you want to know where the where the dinosaurs are in the bible leviathan is explained as being a reptilian creature that can breathe fire you're like well that sounds like a fantasy like a medieval fantasy where you know you gotta rescue the dragon from the princess or whatever you know like super mario or whatever but hey we don't know I'm sure these animals are probably extinct now but I know that there's sightings in recent history of things that people describe as being dinosaurs maybe they're all died out now maybe they're just really rare but there's places in this world that have not been explored completely yet the Congo being one of them and there's been reports of dinosaur sightings in the Congo for hundreds of years by the pygmies so the pygmies have said they said it's still there but you know you can't really get into that swamp first of all everything there wants to kill you the mosquitoes and the swamps are so bad that you just cannot traverse through there I'll bring that up a little bit later but I wanted to tell you so I want to keep on this track of dragons being called dinosaurs so again dragons used multiple times but it doesn't always necessarily have to mean this leviathan fire breathing dragon type it just means they're big lizards you know so are there still big lizards today there are do they grow to be the size of the fossils that they find in the earth no they don't and I'll explain that later but I want to go through some scriptures about dragons I'm not going to go through all of them but I'm just going to start in Deuteronomy chapter 32 so go ahead and turn to Deuteronomy 32 let me just you know put this in your brain real quick while we while you're turning there that if there wasn't such thing as dragons then why would the bible say that there is if it's right about everything else how would it be wrong about this all around the world there's pictures legends of dragons all over that's what they were called that's the english word for a you know reptile and it could be a serpentine type reptile that has legs you know there's there's snakes obviously they're called serpents but there's also ones that are you know they're flying and they have tails and whatever you know obviously we don't see that you don't see pterodactyls flying around in the air anymore but you know maybe we don't know what's in the jungles that we can't see right and there are recent sightings of those things so but anyway let's look at Deuteronomy chapter 32 verse 33 says their wine is the poison of dragons and the cruel venom of asps so there's certain lizards that do have the ability to inject venom into you i think the is it called the gila monster or is that huh gila monster that's what it is but they have like these orange bands on them they're black and if they bite you they're poisonous and so and they're pretty good size they can get pretty big but think about the komodo dragon who's ever seen anything about the komodo dragon before you know dragons do still exist today there's one called the komodo dragon just saying but when they bite if they bite you they have the this bacteria in their saliva that if they bite you even if you don't die from that bite right away or they don't catch you right away they still wound you to the point and your your blood gets infected and then when you die they're going to find you and eat you i think a long time ago there's a place i can't remember i think it's called komodo island i'm not exactly sure where it is exactly but a shipwrecked off the coast of this island and that's what you know and so all the people sweat you know that lives swim to the shore and none of them were found remaining because the komodo dragons found them and ate them all i was watching st steve erwin the crocodile hunter uh i've watched it probably a couple times actually because it's really intense uh time where he goes to that island and he's wearing shorts you know he always wore these like shorts right there's a little tan shorts and socks he wore socks and shoes of course and like a little tan that looks like a little dickey suit or something but anyway he uh the first thing that happens as soon as he gets off the boat is he sees a big giant komodo dragon and it comes right after him and he's just like jumping out of the way like right at the last second and you know he has several times when they try to attack him on the island and i mean just one bite and you're done and they'll all just come and feast on your flesh they're dragons they're big they get to be 10 feet long but uh anyway they have poison these dragons um look at or i'll just i'll read for you psalm chapter 74 while you turn to psalm 148 verse 7 i'm going to read for you real quick psalm chapter 74 verse number 13 the bible says thou didst divide the sea by thy strength thou breakest the heads of the dragons in the waters so some of these things live in the waters and of course they find marine fossils of these reptilian giant gigantic dragons that lived in the sea psalm chapter 148 verse number seven says praise the lord from the earth he dragons and all the deeps now god's just gonna you know by the inspiration of the holy spirit call tell the dragons to to praise him or whatever and they don't exist you know uh nehemiah chapter 2 verse 13 go ahead and uh go ahead and turn to psalm chapter 91 verse 13 i'm going to read nehemiah 2 13 nehemiah 2 13 says and i went out by night by the gates of the valley even before the dragon well and to the dung port and viewed the walls of jerusalem which were broken down and the gates thereof were consumed by fire so they had a gate in the original temple that was destroyed nehemiah is going to survey just how damaged everything is by night to see you know what he has to do to build the walls and he goes before the dragon well why was it called that maybe because there was dragons back then i mean look just because you don't see them every day doesn't mean that they're not around number one and number two doesn't mean that they weren't around back then you know there's obviously uh people like to hunt things you know rednecks like to hunt things every year there's hunting season everybody wants to get out there and shoot deer and elk and stuff and just pay out of their own pockets for the most expensive meat you've ever had just for the thrill of you know the of game gamesmanship or whatever just uh you know a lot of people just like it but uh you know people want to shoot exotic animals too and that's really frowned upon these days remember the lion what was the lion's name that some dentist killed or something everybody's freaking out about it but you know it used to be you could trophy hunt and things like that and people were accepting of it but nowadays like if you kill any animal it's like you need to be put to death isn't it funny how they they get mad when we preach about the death penalty and what the bible says about it but they think that someone that kicks a squirrel off a cliff should be put to death right it's weird or harambe remember when harambe like almost killed a kid you know and i mean kids do stupid things foolishness is bound the heart of a child somehow it got in the pin with the the the gorilla and they shot that gorilla and there was a big you know backlash over that but it's like animals are not as uh worthy worth life as a human being is the bible teaches that very clearly we're supposed to have dominion over the animals and so if an animal is going to kill a human you kill the animal every single time right so unless it's a reprobate but anyway i'm not preaching about that tonight anyhow i might just let harambe rip one of them apart but um you know he was too strong for me i don't know what to do anyhow so i had you turn to what psalm 91 verse 13 now this is a prophecy if you look at the context which we don't have time for but it's talking about jesus being you know caught up or helped by the angels lest that he should dash his foot upon a stone but then it says in verse 13 thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet obviously this is referencing back to genesis chapter number three but you know and it's talking it's it's symbolism for satan that jesus christ is going to destroy satan and the bible says that satan is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour the bible talks about him being a serpent or a you know a snake would be the same type of thing but it also says the dragon so the devil is known as the dragon he's symbolized by a dragon in scripture multiple times even in the end of the chapter of talking about leviathan there's a spiritual application there he's the he's the king of the children of pride you know that'll that'll preach a sermon too but anyway um turn to isaiah chapter 27 verse 1 we're just kind of going through verses that talk about serpents and and dragons but jesus trampled the dragon and crushed his head when he died on the cross of calvary that's what this is talking about so obviously the devil's still around he's still alive and well on planet earth and you know the victory is already won you know it's just the reckoning that we're waiting for we're waiting for you know obviously god wants many people to be saved so he's waiting for that reckoning but until you know jesus christ comes and destroys him once and for all and throws him in the leg of fire you know he's going to throw him in the leg of the fire at the end of the thousand year reign of christ on this earth but anyway i'm getting sidetracked here isaiah 27 one in the in that day the lord with his soaring great strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent even leviathan that crooked serpent and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea this is obviously also taught referring to satan in and it's using pictures of snakes and serp you know serpents as a snake but it says that crooked serpent you know the devil is not redeemable what's crooked cannot be made straight and it says and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea so you know the obviously symbolism referencing satan and you see that it says leviathan so obviously in joe chapter number 41 where we were reading there's you know dual meanings for that chapter but it is talking about a literal beast that he made a literal dragon type creature that he made at the beginning and he is obviously we'll get into that later but turn to jeremiah chapter 51 uh jeremiah chapter 51 verse number 34 the bible says neba cadreza the king of babylon hath devoured me he hath crushed me he hath made me an empty vessel he has swallowed me up like a dragon uh have you seen any lizards lately that could swallow you up i mean i think even a komodo dragon could not swallow me up i mean they'd have to tear some chunks off and break some bones or whatever but apparently in this time there were creatures that he's liking it too he's liking neba cadreza neba cadreza is another name he's called by but he's referencing him as this dragon that would swallow could swallow somebody up now would you think that the dinosaurs that they find in the earth that those creatures could probably swallow somebody up whole yeah i mean you see look at t-rex and some of these other dinosaurs i mean they could easily easily eat you up so look at verse 35 it says the violence done to me and to my flesh be upon babylon shall the inhabitant of zion say and my blood upon the inhabitants of caldia shall jerusalem say therefore thus saith the lord behold i will plead thy cause and take vengeance for thee i will dry up her sea and make her springs dry and babylon shall become a dwelling place for dragons an astonishment and in hissing without an inhabitant now the bible actually says this about multiple cities when he talks about overthrowing a city and making it a ruinous heap or desolation he always talks about it's going to be a place where owls and dragons live so if you do a study on that you'll see that and so but i believe dragons can actually be these small lizards that you would see out in the forest uh dylan likes to chase him around with his camera they're like i mean he's got there was one video that he took of one that was you know about that big and it's just like crawling all over his windowsill and stuff i mean i would still consider those dragon it's it's what god calls these lizard type creatures they just don't get as big as they used to and again i'll explain that to you later on but turn to ezekiel chapter 29 verse 3 ezekiel chapter 29 verse 3 and so we see there's just multiple and again i'm not even going through all of them but there's multiple verses talking about dragons in the bible ezekiel chapter 29 verse 3 speak and say thus saith the lord behold i am against thee pharaoh king of egypt the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers which has said my river is mine and i have made it for myself now this could be referring to a crocodile because crocodiles do get really big you think about that that's i think the crocodile is the biggest lizard that's on the face of the earth and they get to be 20 20 something feet those salty crocodiles they get huge and they're very vicious and very scary i would never go sunbathing on the northern coast of australia for anything like they jump they'll they come right out of the ocean they swim to like different places above australia and you know those beaches are not you know very safe or the lakes for that matter but anyways you know it's talking about this great dragon that life in the midst of the rivers talking about egypt now look at verse four but i will put hooks in thy jaws and i will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales so this dragon has scales it lives in the river not and it's not talking about the ocean it's talking about the river so a lot of marine animals can live in both the saltwater crocodiles can live in both places but it says and i will bring me up out of the midst of thy rivers and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick to thy scales so one thing that you need to understand about lizards is that they grow their whole life they grow until the day they die and that's why you see these pythons like that have you ever seen those python videos in florida where like somebody introduced those into florida and they're just have killed pretty much anything that they can all the rodents i mean they basically you know made everything go extinct there for the most part most mammals are are killed off but they get humongous these snakes anacondas have been seen i know that they stay like up to 50 feet long without i mean that's a scary snake and they're mean so they get really big so lizards snakes amphibians and coral all continue to grow until they die the scientific name for these creatures is inter uh excuse me ender and indeterminate growers i'm probably not saying that right dang it anyway uh and indeterminate growers that's what it is sorry but uh that's what they're called in scientific in the scientific aspect and there's obviously plant life that does this too there's a pine tree in the rocky mountains that that can live for thousands of years there's multiple trees that can be really big so now things were different before the flood happened and if you look in genesis it talks about these the first generations and up to the flood people live to be over 900 years old even being sinful god still allowed people to be you know to live to a very old age so if people live to be older in the time before the flood that means probably animals live to be older too so that would definitely explain the fact that these lizards get so huge and you know they're found their fossils are found all over the world listen fossil if an animal just dies in the forest it doesn't become a fossil you can even scoop some dirt over the top of it it's still not going to become a fossil when you bury human beings in the ground you know and years later they get dug up what are they they're just bones you know everything is gone but even humans just turn into powder basically over a certain amount of time there has to be a special process that causes fossilization of of animals or humans or whatever so and one of those things is water and the other thing is rapid burial in mud it's just a fact that that's a fact of science so there's these fossils that are found all over the world and these big giant lizards which the bible calls dragons and people nowadays call them dinosaurs but in the time before the flood they live to be probably way older and so they grew you know to be huge so they do they that would make you that would make me believe that there's some pretty huge fossils that you would find that are amphibians what you do you see salamanders that are like just huge and and that's an amphibian big frogs big snakes big lizards so what changed in the flood well something changed something changed to be to where the the life spans of humans after that if you look in the bible they started living for less amounts of time so you got p leg that was like 200 and some odd years old and just that's when the time the earth was divided but you know as you see like even abraham he was like what 175 years old or something so he was still lived to be you know a good a good age jacob lived to be 130 something years old and he said few uh few and evil have the days of my so journey been so few and evil you know because his father the fathers before lived to be longer so something changed then god said through moses that people are going to live to be about 70 years old and if you have some extra strength you could be 80 but obviously people live to be older than that but the the baseline for most people is going to be 70 years old okay so but anyway i'm just explaining that to explain this is that you what would you expect to find pre-flood skeletons that were buried rapidly in mud in water you'd find fossils all over the world and if the lizards grew until they all perished then they were pretty big and then people will also make this argument and say well there would be no humans left if they lived with t-rex there'd be no humans left if they lived with all these velociraptors and and ones that looked like this but but he's not eating right now but anyway that you would expect you know people say well those things would just kill everybody look at how sharp their teeth are look at their claws and all this other stuff but pandas have sharp teeth too are they like known as being these savage type beasts that kill people they're not so before the flood i don't think that animals ate each other and they didn't eat humans either it was after the flood when the fear of man came upon these creatures and that's when man was able to eat meat that's when god instituted eating of meat and all these things because something changed we have to have protein folks you you you can be a vegan and only eat vegetables or something but you have to have a substitute protein that's going to help you and meat has the most protein in it that's why god said go ahead and eat it and it's not sinful and wrong to eat meat because you know i mean he instituted the levitical priesthood which was basically a barbecue 24 7 give me some brisket you know so something changed after the flood and so wouldn't that so if humans don't live longer after the flood wouldn't that you know common sense teach you that the lizards didn't live as long either so that's why you probably don't see these huge beasts anymore because they don't live for hundreds and hundreds of years like they probably used to so that's why you don't find you know that's why you find these huge fossils in the ground uh or all around the world which they call dinosaurs okay and whatever other kind of creature it was so let's turn over to genesis chapter three and we'll see the first time that you see the word serpent in the bible and there's a reason why satan is viewed as this dragon or as a you know they people always say the snake came but that's not what it says look at genesis 3 1 it says now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the lord god had made and he said unto the woman yea hath god said he should not eat of every tree of the garden so satan obviously enters into this creature and he talks through this creature that's called a serpent so then why does it call the devil a dragon well because i think that those terms are used interchangeably in the bible now sometimes a serpent is probably talking about a legless reptile snake right but when it talks about the devil it says the the first time it says he's a it says he's a serpent he's a crooked serpent but also calls him a dragon and so that symbolism is because when he appeared when he came in beguiled eve uh he came in this form and we don't know what this serpent looked like because the judgment of god against this against this serpent whatever type it was probably had legs probably could fly i'm not 100 sure but he said that they shall crawl on the belly all the days of their life so you know that's why they say the snake but maybe he removed their ability to grow legs this whatever this serpent was but it probably looked different before and i again i'm just that's that's my opinion that it that it could be different obviously it's not like a fact the bible doesn't say it had wings it doesn't say he had arms or whatever but he was so he was cursed to crawl on his belly right so obviously he didn't always crawl on his belly before that so that would indicate there's some sort of change made here but turn to revelation chapter 12 verse number three revelation chapter 12 verse number three and the bible describes theton here he describes him many times in the book of revelation as a dragon a great dragon look at revelation chapter 12 verse 3 it says and there appeared another wonder in heaven and behold a great red dragon having seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns upon his heads and his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and did cast them to the earth and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered for to devour her child as soon as it was born see you know the devil's pictured as a roaring lion because roaring lions seek whom they may devour see the devil wants to devour all of us you know and and make us unuseful like not literally devour us but devour us to the point where we're not useful to god or we fall into some gross kind of sin that makes us unusable he wants to accuse us he's an accuser of the brethren and he accuses us before god day and night but it talks about this great red dragon and so i'm thinking it seems like the imagery that's trying to put in our head here is that it's big it's a big red dragon and it has a tail and it's able to devour a child and probably things bigger than that of course that's talking about the lord jesus and it's talking about how harid you know really wanted to put find jesus and put him to death that's why all the little children were killed in bethlehem and so on and so forth but look at verse seven it says and there was war in heaven michael and his angels fought against the dragon and the dragon fought and his angels and prevailed not neither was their place found anymore in heaven and the great dragon was cast out now how do we know it's talking about saying well it says it right here that old serpent remember it's called a serpent in genesis chapter number three it's calling him a dragon here but it's telling us who this is the great dragon was cast out that old serpent called the devil and satan which deceiveth the whole world he was cast out into the earth and his angels were cast out with him so there's this battle that takes place in heaven against you know he fights michael and his archangels and he gets he gets smoked and gets sent down to earth with all and and the bible actually talks about him having you know this tale that takes a third of these angels with him so look at revelation chapter 20 revelation chapter number 20 and why am i bringing this up because if there wasn't such thing as dragons why would god be symbolizing the devil as a dragon i mean why is you know and obviously dragons are something that's you know if you saw a t-rex and when you walked out of church today and it was see after the flood i think that they did eat meat obviously all the animals try to kill each other every single day just watch any documentary about africa and everything is trying to kill something else i mean these things are just like walking around all paranoid and stuff and all of a sudden like a big crocodile just gets him you know i mean it's just it's a it's a scary world out there if you're some kind of animal so but it's talking about these great dr this great dragon that satan look at revelation 21 verse 1 it says and i saw an angel come down from heaven having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand and he laid hold on the dragon see it's going to explain it to us again that old serpent which is the devil and satan and bound him a thousand years cast him in the bottomless pit and shut him in and set a seal upon him that he should deceive the nations no more till the thousand years should be fulfilled and after that he must be loose for a little season so it's talking about the judgment of satan being in prison but it's referring to him as a serpent and a dragon so obviously he's both you see how it's used interchangeably now turn to isaiah chapter 14. i realize this is kind of bible study-ish in a way but it's good to know these things you know a lot of people just don't know i've had questions like what about the dinosaurs so i want to answer those questions isaiah chapter 14 verse 29 says rejoice not thou whole palestina because the rod of him that smote thee is broken for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice that's a different type of snake and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent you see that so like it's telling us that there's a there's a serpent and a fiery flying serpent and the bible explains that satan is a serpent and a dragon so they're they're definitely i think used interchangeably but it talks about a fiery flying serpent why would god say there's a fire fiery flying serpent if they're if they didn't really exist they do exist there's beetles called bombardier beetles that can shoot this like fiery type stuff and it uses it to as a defense mechanism to kill people or whatever there's all different types of animals like that so it is possible that god made some dragons that are able to breathe out fire and obviously fly why are there legends all around the world of dragons with wings with claws and sharp teeth that breathe fire well maybe because just like the bible says there were these type of creatures living now webster's 1828 dictionary i'm not like this guy that always has to go to the websters okay don't get me wrong but i only went to it just because i knew that you know it was a very you know reliable source of a dictionary for that time now i remember 1841 was the time that dinah or the term dinosaurs was actually coined it didn't even show there's like i i've seen a dictionary where it still refers to like a type of animal even in 1891 so this is many years after they found these and you know just because they're saying now that these things never walked with mankind that doesn't make it so you know there's a the like a national geographic there's an article where it says man has never walked with dinosaurs or have nobody's ever seen a dinosaur before that's what they said it's like well how do you know that have you lived all throughout history do you know that for a fact you know all the evidence around the world why would people like make pottery that has dinosaurs on it eating people like it shows like this guy chop and one of their you know you know they're obviously from this ancient culture whatever but they're chopping the neck of a dinosaur looking creature that has sharp teeth and it shows like a picture of the his friend or whatever in the belly of this creature because obviously they were still pretty big even after the flood and they still and then at that point they were eating people or eating animals right webster's 1828 dictionary says under the term dragon i looked up dinosaur but guess what it wasn't there because the word wasn't invented but dragon was says noun a genus a genus or whatever of animals so at this time they're recognized as a real animal the draco they have four legs a cylindrical tail and a membracious and membracious wings radiated like the fins of a flying fish how would he get this definition if those creatures did not exist even during this time 1828 that doesn't make sense folks so we're being lied to children all over the world are being lied to about dinosaurs so they can fit in their humanistic agenda they don't want us to believe that there was a time when these big lizards lived with mankind what happened to them all well they probably got killed off because obviously they're going around eating people and you know people are you know there's always these stories about these heroes that rise up and slay the dragon you know it's it's you know saint george was said to have slayed a dragon that was eating people in some village you know they obviously sainted him for a reason but you know the the legend of saint george you can go look it up and people will say well that's fiction because dinosaurs didn't walk with humans at that time shut up man how do you know why would they be talking about something that didn't exist it doesn't make sense why is there pictures all over cave walls even in the grand canyon of these giant long neck giant long neck creatures that look like this the thing on my tie right here this brachiosaur why would they have that if it didn't exist you know because they did exist they didn't just draw did they have the bible in uh the grand the indians in the grand canyon did they have a bible to know that the word dragon was in there no they didn't so they're just drawing what they see you know there's other types of animals that they draw but they're drawing reptilian looking creatures that eat people in ica peru they found all these stones and they call them the ica stones or whatever they have all these different types of things on them but on those on that pottery from ancient peru they find you know pictures of dinosaurs that's where you can find the ones where it has like the dinosaur in the belly of a dinosaur or whatever or i mean a person in the belly of the dinosaur and someone killing it it has multiple ones of those why would they draw those pictures did they have the bible then too no they didn't have the bible so people could say well the bible maybe you know made up this dragon this fire-breathing dragon but it's just not really true that's funny that all the cultures around the world seem to know about them marco polo when he was in china there was he wrote about and he was a just a historian type guy or whatever they explored and he lived with the lived in china for like 17-18 years he talked about this office of royal dragon feeder well why would there be and why would there be an office of a royal dragon feeder if they didn't have dragons when alexander the great was conquering the world and he got to india and that's where he got kind of stopped and he died but his men encountered what they you know they describe as a dragon attacking them near some place in india obviously in india there's a lot of crazy things that can kill you too i mean tigers lions and bears everything i mean everything there wants to kill you too cobras you know big giant spitting cobras and things like that but anyway so in webster's dictionary and i'm sure there's and i know there's other dictionaries that sit that talk about this dragon as being a real creature but it's just the modern day smart atheist scientists or whatever that that say that it's not possible well you know what i'm going to believe god over some god hating atheist every single time you know what hey if you just don't want to believe the parts about the in the bible that talk about dragons well then you're just you're saying i don't believe god because this stuff is preserved for us to know so this look and people ask questions about it know what you're talking about and you don't have to be an expert on dinosaurs and fossils all you have to do is say well they were called dragons in the bible done you know so turn to joe chapter 40 verse 15 joe chapter 40 verse 15 the bible says you know joe's being asked all these questions at you know chapter 38 through chapter 41 he's asked he asked like all these questions to joe questions that he can't answer and verse 15 he brings up this other kind of creature that sounds like a dinosaur look what it says it says in verse 15 behold now behemoth this is this is what i think behemoth is that's why the verse is right there behold behemoth which i made with thee and so god's like explaining this creature to joe and would would he be explaining a creature that joe has never heard of or seen like what is behemoth which i made with the he eateth grass as an ox so obviously he doesn't eat human beings this is a you know plant eating lizard and there are still plant eating lizards today on the earth says lo now his strength is in his loins and his force is in the navel of his belly so he's got a big belly and he's got some strength in there and it says and his force is in the navel's belly so and then verse 17 he moveth his tail like a cedar in a lot of bible you know bible like little notes and stuff or study bibles it'll say this is probably like an elephant or something okay or a rhino and if you've ever seen a rhino's tail it's just a small little thing like this an elephant's tail i mean they have a big trunk they have big bellies they have big strong legs but what are their tails look like they look like a little string with like a little you know piece of hair at the bottom of like to slap the flies away from them or whatever but it's not an elephant folks because it says he moveth his tail like a cedar what's a cedar it's a big tree right so you know they had big long tails and it says the sinews of the stones are wrapped together his bones are as strong pieces of brass his bones are like bars of iron so i mean they find these big giant brachiosaurs in in the earth and they're humongous i mean i i didn't like write down the stats or whatever of how big they were but they're tons multiple tons they're huge creatures but now again after the flood they probably wouldn't get as big but god is explaining something that still is pretty big because remember the the lifespan dropped off kind of slow after the flood so the animals probably had the sim a similar thing happening with them but god's explaining something that i think joe has seen or heard about or knows about because it wouldn't make sense to ask that question if he didn't even know what he was talking about so um the well i guess i do have some stats i forgot that i copied and pasted them i'm good on me all right the largest complete dinosaur we know was a brachiosaurus a brachiosaurus excuse me it reached 23 meters in length and 12 meters in height and we don't go by the metric system but it's about the length of two large school buses and the height of a four-story building so a four-story building is is pretty good is is pretty good sized and two school buses those are pretty good sized i mean the school buses are big so i mean they got huge so that's why in job chapter 4 40 verse 19 it says he is the chief of the ways of god so chief you know in this context i'm thinking he's talking about the biggest animal that god made it's the biggest it says it's the chief of the ways of god he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him surely the mountains bring him forth food where all the beasts of the field play he lieth under the shady trees in the covert of the reed and fens now these are uh english older english words they're not old english but they're older and so these uh re uh you know obviously you know what reeds are you know they're they usually find those in the swamps so fens just means like it's an older english word for swamp area right and so where would you expect to find these creatures in a swamp so where have there been sightings modern day of these creatures the congo which is a big giant swamp and it's the size of like the state of arkansas or something just the swamp just the you know just the lake area and people have tried to go in and find it people have claimed to have seen it the pygmies definitely just believe it's you know it's it's just a regular animal that they you know obviously they're they said i think in recent times they've said that they're not around as much so i don't know what's going on with that but you know they're claiming to see something that looks like this creature here in the swamp just not as big right so but they're still big creatures but they're just not probably as big as they were in those times but anyway it says uh well let me read it so they call it mokeli and benbe that's what they call the creature in their language in the pygmy language and i just kind of copy and pasted this but it says this is probably the most famous african dinosaur supposedly living in the congo river basin of africa legendary sightings by natives go back over 200 years based upon descriptions provided this creature resembles a sauropod dinosaur i remember when i was a kid i was just at my grandma's house and i was pretty young but i remember there was a news report that was talking about this it talked about it on the news that they found you know that they could hear them them roaring or whatever i was probably like four years old how do i remember that i have no idea i can't remember what i did with my keys um most of the time but i can still remember a news report that i saw my grandma's house when i was four years old so but anyways it was talking about this uh the sightings in congo i was you know 40 years 40 something years ago 43 years ago so it says in verse 22 the shady trees cover him with their shadow the willows of the brook compass him about behold he drinketh up a river i mean this is how big this creature is that like if it takes a big drink of water it's like it's drinking a river and hasteth not he trusted that he can draw up jordan into his mouth obviously it lived by the i mean he's talking about jordan so obviously it's a real place jordan the jordan river is still there today that's where jesus was baptized that's where john was baptizing the same river that's talking about in this verse here so obviously those creatures lived by the jordan river also and so that's why you know so that's why i could just trust that joe knew exactly what this creature was so it says he take it with his eyes his nose pierceth through snares so it obviously can get out of traps and stuff like that cats out so yeah so i mean this is just one creature it's called it's not calling it a dragon but to me it sounds like this animal here that's why i wore my time my one of a kind tie well it's probably not one of a kind but you can't get these anymore that's why i'd never let my sons wear this tie because i know it's going to end up getting food on it or something stretched out so anyway i wear it every once in a while i like it but anyway let's look at back at joe 41 where we first began and we'll we'll begin to wrap this up here so joe chapter 41 it's a it's a kind of a long chapter so i'm just going to kind of hit some of the highlights uh maybe not read through the whole chapter but i might so anyway joe 41 verse 1 says canst thou draw leviathan with a hook or his tongue with a cord which thou let us down canst thou put a hook in his nose or bore his jaw through with a thorn will he make many supplications unto thee will he speak soft words unto thee so he's basically describing this thing this creature leviathan and we've seen that it has you know scales and and it can live in the water or whatever but he uh he's talking about the fact that you can't really hurt this creature like humans aren't going to stand a chance against this creature and it's not going to you know speak soft words onto it's not something you can pet it's not something you could take home and put into a cage it says will he make a covenant with thee will he take him will thou take him for a servant forever it's like you can't you know you can have a dog and he's your servant forever he's your your your best friend or whatever but you can't do this with this creature wilt thou play with him as a with a bird or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens shall the companions make a banquet of him shall they part him among the merchants like can you hunt this thing chop them up and sell them at the markets that's kind of what it's talking about can't sell fill his skin with barbed irons or his head with fish spears lay thine hand upon him remember the battle do no more behold the hope of him is in vain shall not one be cast down even at the side of him when you see this creature that it's describing in the bible you're gonna fall down and be very afraid sounds kind of like a dinosaur doesn't it none is so fierce that dare stir him up who then is able to stand before me who hath prevented me that i should repay him whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine i will not conceal his parts nor his power nor his comely proportion who can discover the face of his garment or who can come to him with his double bridle like how you gonna you know like maybe you're gonna think you're gonna ride this dragon no it's not gonna happen who can open the doors of his face you know the doors of your face is your mouth okay his teeth are terrible round about so scary teeth his scales are his pride so this this thing has scales shut up together as with a close seal one is so near to another that no air can come between them so god's describing this creature that he made he's saying hey his scales are so locked locked down that you can't even no air can even go between them they're joined one to another they stick together that they cannot be sundered they can't be ripped apart by his nieces a light does shine and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning so sneezing is when you involuntarily shoot projectiles out of your nose and mouth you know you you know but knees are like if you were like you know have you ever seen like a horse like you know shoot yeah they they kind of just like you know they they kind of snort like out that's basically what it's talking about here these knees are like it's you know this you know whatever it's shooting out of its nostrils okay it says a lot a lot by his knees a light does shine so when it does that whatever i'm i'm probably failing at explaining it but when it does that you know or whatever it says a light does shine it says his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning so like when you for the sun first rises and you see the first part of the sun you know it has like you know kind of looks like you know so you don't see the whole thing and and it's explaining that his eyes are like the eyelids of a more of the morning real bright real yellow what a lot of reptiles have eyes that look like that don't they out of his mouth go burning lamps and sparks of fire leap out out of his nostrils go with smoke as out of a seething pot or cauldron so what is it explaining here that out of his mouth goes burning lamps and sparks of fire leap out well let's you know and god's just like really trying to help help us to understand this by saying it multiple times look at verse 21 his breath kindleth coals a flame goeth out of his mouth let's just tell tell us plainly this is a fire breathing dragon it can breathe fire it can kindle coals just snorting out of its nose you see light its eye you know it talks about its eyes being as the morning sun so this thing is a fire breathing dragon there's no other way to get around this folks isn't that what it's saying in his neck remain his strength and sorrow is turned into joy before him the flakes of his flesh are joined together they are firm in themselves they cannot be moved his heart is as firm as a stone yea as hard as a piece of nether millstone so even trying to pierce through this thing's heart first of all you can't get through the scales and that's going to explain that here in a minute but you you know if you even did get to his heart it's as hard as a millstone so when he raiseth up himself the mighty are afraid by the reason of breakings they purify themselves the sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold the spear the dart nor the habergeon he esteemeth iron as straw and brass as rotted rotten wood if you try to you know come at him with an iron or any other thing you know iron is like straw you try to hit it with some kind of spear or something like that it's like straw what is what happens can you anybody ever done some hay bailing or been around hay you know we climb that hay pyramid or whatever every year at the um at the pumpkin patch you know it's that's straw that's what it's like to this creature the arrow cannot make him flee sling stones are turned with him into stubble darts are counted as stubble he laugheth at the shaking of a spear so it's basically saying whatever weapon you try to come at this creature with it's just laughing at you it's going to destroy it you're not going to be able to hurt it with these weapons says he make it the deep to boil like a pot so obviously this creature can swim okay and it also can breathe fire and it can boil water under the that's what it's saying right he make it the sea like a pot of ointment he make it the path to shine after him one would one would think the deep to be hoary upon earth there is not his like who is made without fear so god's describing this fire breathing dragon that can swim and all and how powerful it is and this is something that god said he made so obviously again i believe the bible the bible says that there's creatures like this that have existed in time and you know the the lie that's being perpetuated is that we didn't live with them at the same time well that's you know it wouldn't make sense to joe if that was if that was true it says behold all high things he is the king over all the children of pride and that's definitely a verse you can apply to satan because it talks about leviathan and how he's going to destroy leviathan you know satan pictures this creature in some way shape or form but anyway so again if dragons weren't real why would they be mentioned in the bible in many different contexts even talking about a dragon well in nehemiah why are there legends of people slaying dragons if they never existed why are they on coinage ancient coins why did vikings make ships with a dragon's head in the front of it how would they know what that looked like did they have the bible at that time no they didn't so they were raping and pillaging england for many years before they actually turned to christ at some point some of them but anyway the pottery the tapestries all over the world cave walls footprints in the same rock layers with humans sometimes like you know the you know rock layers will will will be washed out and there's a place i think it's in texas where there's dinosaur footprints all over the place under the on the but in the same layer there's human footprints how you how you gonna explain that and when they discovered it a person from national geographic came out and didn't take any pictures of that just took pictures of the dinosaur footprints and then completely ignored the story big surprise right because you know what that doesn't fit their evolutionary agenda to try to destroy the faith of people from the time they're a little child and hey they make sure that there's a public school system so that you have to learn this stuff they don't let you teach christ to the schools but they let you teach a stupid theory like evolution and lies to our children they want to talk about how if they could you know why are you taking your kids to church to brainwash them why are you letting your kids go to the public full system to be brainwashed by the devil and i'm glad for good teachers in the school system don't get me wrong but like it's it's kind of a losing battle you know i mean if it's just being bombarded all i don't even know what school's like right now and i i don't know if i want to know but it's definitely not a great place to put your children you know that's a different sermon for a different time but you know the the agenda today is to get us get us to lose faith in all these different systems that the devil has built and this is just one of them but you know what the bible tells us that dragons were real they were called dragons in 1611 when the king james was translated in 1828 daniel webster put a genus of a type of animal this dragon has they have four legs a cylindrical tail and wings and the wings that they're describing are like kind of like bat wings or whatever and you know obviously the bible says that they breathe fire cultures around the world said they breathe fire i mean but the bible's just a fairy tale book no their science is way more advanced in the bible than science had to catch up to what the bible actually teaches and the book of joe is actually a good spot to learn all that stuff but these footprints they found in the different letters how do you explain that you cannot explain that unless man and these creatures lived at the same time why do the walls of babylon see they uncovered the walls of babylon after it was destroyed why do the walls of babylon have lions on the outside of them and dragons why well maybe because dragons lived at that time why would they draw a picture of something that didn't exist if you think about the you know and obviously i'm not for the chinese zodiac or whatever but if you go to a chinese restaurant they usually have little placemats and stuff that has you know the year of this animal or whatever is whatever year you were born you're the rabbit or you're the boar or the rooster or whatever the rat you know i wouldn't want to be the year of the rat but anyway but there's also a dragon a year of the dragon my brother i was always like jealous or envious of my brother because he was born in 1976 and as the year of the dragon i was like i'm the rabbit that stinks obviously again i don't believe in all that stuff but like being the year of the dragon sounds cooler right so especially as a young man or whatever but why would the chinese put a zodiac together of all these animals that still live today and then a dragon that doesn't really exist maybe because dragons actually existed in the time when they made that stupid zodiac so there's all obviously lots of legends i i'm out of time but you know the the fact that dinosaurs grew until they died pre-flood we live longer animals live longer trees got bigger plants got bigger everything got bigger and that does explain in my mind how they got so big but you again you still see dragons today the komodo dragon crocodiles and alligators snakes and lizards monitors monitors are a lot you know komodo dragons like kind of in the same family as the monitor lizard they're they're basically just like a giant monitor but those things have sharp claws that if they bite you you're going to get infected and they eat and swallow animals whole that's what the bible describes the dragons eat things whole right crocodiles eat things whole they spin them around the water and then they devour them so again let's get our beliefs from the bible let's not let these god haters convince us or try to lead us astray don't let them you know be careful what you let your kids read be careful what you let your you know obviously dinosaurs are cool you know they're cool like i play with the i had my mom said that i used to like line up all my toys when i was a kid and i would get these dinosaurs and i knew all the names of all the dinosaurs when i was like two or three years old and i would just line them up and like tell what they were i like dinosaurs they were cool remy when he was a kid when he was a little boy he loved dinosaurs they're they're something they're cool but you know what don't let people explain things to your kids that they're millions of years old when the bible has them in there okay so anyway let's bow our heads and have a word of prayer god we thank you so much for your wonderful creation lord i pray that you would just help us to just make sure that our children are taught the correct things lord and pray bless each and every family here represented every single individual and we ask you to help us to study to show ourselves approved about these things and lord to know what the bible teaches about all subjects but also lord about this subject of dinosaurs which are actually called dragons of the bible we thank you lord jesus amen all right let's turn in your blue hymnals to page 414 we'll sing our last song page 414 in your blue
