Hey, Mr. Dinosaur,
You really couldn’t ask for more.
You were God’s favorite creature,
But you didn’t have a future. (Sting)
Thinking about the musings from Day 158: The Holy Bible And Paleontology – Exodus To Revelation.…
I would submit to you that once you understand what the definition of paleontology is, it is easy to spot references to this scientific field in the Holy Bible. I would further submit to you that once you recognize what to look for, these references are bountiful indeed.
In Day 157: The Holy Bible And Paleontology – Genesis…Just Genesis., 18 bible verses were covered that are contained in the book of Genesis.
In Day 158: The Holy Bible And Paleontology – Exodus To Revelation., 15 bible verses were covered that are contained in the book of Genesis.
So now, let us continue with 14 more bible verses that contain the following concept relating to the scientific study of paleontology, that can be found in the book of Job:
1. Job 40:15-16 KJV:
15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
2. Job 40:17-18 KJV:
17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
3. Job 40:19-20 KJV:
19 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. 20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
4. Job 40:21-22 KJV:
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.
5. Job 40:23-24 KJV:
23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
6. Job 41:1-2 KJV:
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?
7. Job 41:3-4 KJV:
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?
And there you have it.
14 sets of bible verses found in the book of Job, whose focus can be considered under the scientific branch of paleontology.
While I would submit to you that these 14 bible verses help one to understand that there is a strong connection between the Holy Bible and the scientific branch of paleontology, it is possible that you may not be convinced of any connection….
Yet.
So, what are the next set of bible verses relating to the scientific field of paleontology?
That question will be answered next time.
Do not feel discouraged if you do not see a connection with the 14 sets of verses from today from the Holy Bible that relate to the scientific field of paleontology. Do not feel discouraged if you are still unsure that the verses contained in these bible verses contain any scientific relevance at all. Instead, understand that after you have read these verses, you are continuing the process of learning about the relationship between the scientific field of meteorology and the Holy Bible…perhaps without even realizing it.
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? (Job 41:3-4 KJV)
Was today’s blog a little confusing at times? Was the content perhaps a little overwhelming? Did you feel lost not understanding some or most of the subject matter?
Those feelings are totally understandable and it is ok to have one or more of those feelings. Remember that you are reading Day 159: The Holy Bible And Paleontology – The Book Of Job.
If you haven’t been in class since the first day of school…or when the project began…or when the contract was first signed, etc., these feelings make perfect and logistical sense.
Please feel free to go back to where all of this began:
