Do Dinosaurs exist on this earth?

After reading the Book of Job, I believe dinosaurs and dragons (a species of dinosaur) do exist in this earth many many years ago.

Job Chapter 1-2 Introduction; Interesting to read

Job Chapter 3-31 Debate; Heavy and difficult to follow

Job Chapter 32-37 Elihu’s speech; A lot of interesting points on God’s attributes

Job Chapter 38-41 God’s rebuttal; Very interesting passages (MUST READ)

Job Chapter 42 Closing; Happy Ending


So in chapter 40 & 41 – God talks about 2 animals called Behemoth and Leviathan. I suspect these animals are what modern day’s people call them dinosaurs.

Behemoth has the following attributes according to Job 40:15-24
· It “eats grass like an ox.”
· It “moves his tail like a cedar.”
· Its “bones are like beams of bronze,His ribs like bars of iron.”
· “He is the first of the ways of God.”
· “He lies under the lotus trees,In a covert of reeds and marsh.”

So Behemoth is an herbivorous dinosaur

I suspect Leviathan is more like a sea reptile (or dinosaur) since Job 41:1 talk about catching it with a fish hook. I check some other references and Isa 27:1 also talk about this creature as a sea creature. Also Psalm 104:25,26 mentions it as a sea creature. Job 41 gives some very interesting description about this Leviathan. In verses 19-21, it can blow fires from its mouth, like a dragon we see in cartoons or Shrek, the movie.

OK, now I am convinced that dinosaurs do exist, but is not called dinosaur in ancient days.

Dinosaurs were called Behemoth and Leviathan.
