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.”

And in Ezekiel 29:3, Micah 1:8, and Malachi 1:3. Do you suppose the translators of the Bible would have used the word “Dinosaur” if it was available to them?
