Chinese New Year: February 10, 2024, Year of the dragon. Celebration until February 17, 2024.
|
It is interesting that the 12 Chinese years are represented by 11 common animals and one "
mythical" animal, the
dragon. Perhaps the
dragon really was a common animal at one time.
Might the
dragon have been a
dinosaur that really existed? Dinosaur
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) has been found. Many people in times past have drawn images of dinosaurs.
Job describes a creature called "
behemoth" that had a tail like a
cedar tree. The
NIV (New International Version) says it could be a hippopotamus or elephant.
Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. [kjv]
ο δε ακουσας ειπεν ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι ισχυοντες ιατρου αλλα οι κακως εχοντες [gnt]
at Iesus audiens ait non est opus valentibus medico sed male habentibus [v]
