Psalm 55:6And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. Psalm 68:13Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

All of the gospel writers record the baptism of the Lord Jesus and compare the Holy Spirit descending upon Him as or “like a Dove”. Matthew 3:16, (Mark 1:10, Luke 3:22, John 1:32)And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Mark 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. John 1:32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

It is taught that the dragon is “a mythical monster like a giant reptile”. But a study of Scripture reveals a different picture. When the Bible was written (and then translated) the word DINOSAUR did not exist. In 1842, paleontologist Richard Owen coined the term dinosaur, dino (Greek deinos meaning “terrible” or “fearfully great,”) and sauros, meaning “lizard” or reptile.”
