Silly Fundy - Myths are for kids! - # 1

Why Stop there Mr. Fundy? The bible is full of nonsensical creatures from mythology: Satyrs: A satyr is a Greek mythological creature, that is half man on the top and half goat on the bottom with ears and horns from the goat. It is a very lustful creature, and is often portrayed carrying a flute of some sort. Satyrs make an appearance two times in the bible: Isaiah 13:21: But wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall dance there. Isaiah 34:14: The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for hers elf a place of rest. Unicorns: Numbers 23:22 KJV: God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. Numbers 24:8 KJV: God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce [them] through with his arrows. Job 39:9-10 KJV: Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? Psalms 29:5-6 KJV 5: The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 6: He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. Psalms 92:10 KJV: But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Cockatrice: Isaiah 11:8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. Isaiah 14:29 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, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent. Isaiah 59:5 They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. Jeremiah 8:17 For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD. Leviathan The word "Leviathan" appears in five places in the Bible, with the Book of Job, chapter 41, being dedicated to describing Leviathan in detail: Book of Job 3:8 "May those who curse days curse that day, those who are ready to rouse Leviathan "; NIV Book of Job 41:1-34: "Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?...He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride." KJV (quoted 1 and 34 only) Psalms 74:14: "Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people in habiting the wilderness." KJV Psalms 104:24,25: "O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts." KJV; Isaiah 27:1: "In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea." KJV Dragons: The Old Testament (Tanakh) Deuteronomy 32:33 Nehemiah 2:13 Job 30:29 Psalms 44:19 Psalms 74:13 Psalms 91:13 Psalms 148:7 Isiah 13:22 Isiah 27:1 Isiah 34:13 Isiah 35:7 Isiah 43:20 Isiah 51:20 Jeremiah 9:11 Jeremiah 10:22 Jeremiah 14:6 Jeremiah 49:33 Jeremiah 51:34,37 Ezekiel 29:3 Micah 1:8 Malachi 1:3 The New testament Revelation 12:3,4,7,9,13,16,17 Revelation 13:2,4,11 Revelation 16:13 Revelation 20:2
