In other words, is it un-Christian to be a fan of massive, fire-breathing reptiles? The reason this question is being addressed is because many Christians have decided that dragons are satanic/demonic. They say that this is the only conclusion you can draw from what we know of dragons in The Holy Bible. But is this true or is there more than what meets the common eye in The Sacred Book? Let us explore The Bible, ancient legends, and modern science to see if there is anything that could be being missed.

***Note that this is much longer and more detailed than the original. If you want a shorter read, go to the link above, and you will get the basics. If, however, you are more curious and adventurous, like I am sure many dragon-lovers are, then read on! Fascinating facts await you below! Also, no need to read it all in one sitting. There is no shame in reading a section now and another later and so on. Please enjoy your time here, whatever you choose to do!

THE BIBLICAL EVIDENCE

The place one must always begin with is The Sacred Scriptures. Nothing anyone else says matters even an inch if it does not line up with what God has revealed to us in His Pure Word.

Proverbs 30:5-6 KJV, “Every Word of God [Eloah] is pure [Heb. “purified”]: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Add thou not unto His words, lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.”

Note: brackets will be used to show the Hebrew names of God, the KJV Marginal Notes, and other minor things for clarity.

Before we can begin, though, it should be noted that if one is using a modern translation of The Holy Bible, then one will find following along in The Biblical Evidence difficult, as some have had with the original version of this article. Most translations have removed the word “dragon” from the entire Bible except for the 13 uses in the book of Revelation. This is probably why there is so much confusion as to what God really told us about these magnificent creatures He made.

Therefore, I recommend you look up all passages in the Authorized King James Version (KJV or AV; 1769), which is the base-translation of this treatise. However, nearly the same results can be found with other old translations, such as the Geneva Bible (GNV or GB; 1587), Bishops’ Bible (Bish; 1568), Douay-Rheims Bible (DV, DRA or DRB; 1899), and Young’s Literal Translation (YLT; 1863). These and other translations will be heavily consulted.

The Masoretic Hebrew word used for dragon(s) is “tanniyn” and shows up 29 times in The Old Testament. Although, the English word dragon is not always used, even in the KJV, so searching for that word will not find all the uses. These verses are divided up in this treatise into general uses of tanniyn, specifically named dragons, similar creatures to dragons, and other assorted references. This first part of the treatise will only cover dragons in general.

Part 1: Dragons in General

These are dragons who have no names and spoken of the same way we would mention animals someone finds in a Zoo. Just the species, its habitats, some behavioral traits, and a few physical characteristics.

Instalment 2: Honor and Praise

On the flip side, dragons have a lot more to them in The Holy Bible than just inhabiting the places God punished. Take a look at these verses.

Honor

Isaiah 43:18-20—Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I [Yahweh] will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field shall honour Me, the dragons and the owls [or, “ostriches”: Heb. “daughters of the owl”]: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My chosen [Israel].

The Biblical Illustrator (BibIllus or BI, 1887) gives an astounding quote from Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) which I think speaks to every Christian and even those nonbelievers who are fond of dragons:

“I have sometimes laid hold of this text, and have been comforted by it concerning the conversion of the very worst of men. Some people say, “What is the good of going among blasphemers and profane persons with the Word of God?” Well, if the beast of the field, and the dragons, and the owls shall honour Him, we need never think of leaving any of the sons of men to perish. It is not what they are, but what God is, that should give us confidence concerning them.”—C. H. Spurgeon

This passage is a prophecy, one which likely has two fulfillments. The first fulfillment was in the springtime of 454 B.C. when Nehemiah was given permission to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, just before the restoration of Israel after the Babylonian captivity. This date comes from Anglican Archbishop James Ussher’s The Annals of the World (Annals, 1658). This restoration began the 483-year countdown to the baptism and public ministry of Jesus Christ our Savior, as foretold in Daniel 9:24-25 (for details see the commentaries used thus far and below in this treatise). The second fulfillment has yet to happen, and will be when Israel is forced to “fly into the wilderness” to escape The Red Dragon in Revelation 12:13-14, which will be discussed in Part 2.

Therefore, we know that at one point in the past and another time in the future dragons did/shall honor God—“kabad” in Hebrew. This word has a meaning of being so heavy that one cannot do anything else. In the case of this passage, it means that dragons shall be so overwhelmed with gratefulness to their Creator that they will be unable to do anything else under the weight of this feeling, and they will give complete glory to God Almighty! This would have been, and will be, a sight to behold, indeed.

As Thomas Coke’s Commentary on the Holy Bible (Coke, 1801-1803) expounds on Isaiah 43:18:

“God says, that he will make a way in the desart, rivers in the wilderness; that he will cause the beasts of the field, the dragons and the ostriches, to honour him, for the advantage of his people. … He [Isaiah] describes the wild-beasts of the desart, and the dragons themselves, as having been parched with thirst, and praising God with their hisses and nocturnal howlings, for watering the sandy plains of Arabia.”

But not only dragons, but also the ostrich and “beast of the field”. Now, one must not confuse this for either the “beast of the desert” or the “beast of the island” that we discussed earlier. Those were translations of a single Hebrew word; this time the entire phrase is in the original language. It literally means “life (chay) of the flat-land (sadeh)”. The first time this phrase is used in The Bible is Genesis 2:19-20, and the first creature we know to be one of them is the serpent (nachash) in Genesis 3:1, which satan entered into to tempt Eve.

As long as we are here, it should be pointed out that Genesis 2:19 is one of the extremely rare times when the NIV is more accurate than the KJV. Many try to argue that Genesis 1 & 2 are contradictory versions of the creation of our universe, but the NIV shows the actual Hebrew intent here by translating it as,

“Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky.”

The original word “yatsar” in this passage is in the past tense, meaning already done in the past, not being done at this moment. Tyndale’s Translation (Tyn, 1525-1535) agrees “had make”, Wycliffe’s Translation “weren [were] formed”, DBY “had formed”, Bishops’ Bible “had shapen [shaped]”, DV “having formed”, and still others. There is seamless harmony here in the Book of Beginnings.

Praise

Psalms 148:7-10—Praise The LORD [Yahweh] from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: fire, and hail; snow, and vapour; stormy wind fulfilling His Word: mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl [Heb. “birds of wing”]:

Here is a verse that is not given a time specification, and in it dragons are told to praise God. The Hebrew “halal” has many meanings: to be clear in music, to be clear in art, to shine for, to flash forth light, to make a show, to boast, to rave over, to look foolish for, to celebrate, to commend, to glorify, to praise, to make renowned, and to make praiseworthy. These are the types of things dragons are to give to Almighty God!

Now it is true that some translations—like the NIV—render tanniyn as “great sea creatures” in this verse. That is likely due to the mentioning of “tĕhowm” or abyss, translated as “deeps” in the KJV, which means a surging mass of water. But this verse also speaks of “erets”, which means a firm plot of ground. The Hebrew language has no punctuation like we use, so tanniyn could be paired with either or both words.

The KJV is not alone in its translation, though. Wycliffe’s Translation, Young’s Literal Translation, DV, the Bishops’ Bible, and Geneva Bible (the translation the American Pilgrims used) all render it as “dragons” as well. Those translations had different translators too, distinct from the KJV and each other. Even Gill agrees these are dragons, though he jumped to the conclusion dragons are evil, here:

“Either land dragons, or rather sea dragons, the water or sea being the proper place of them, Psalm 44:19; these, as cruel, as poisonous, and pernicious as they are, are made to honour and praise the Lord, Isaiah 43:20;”

In the end it makes little difference whether these are terrestrial or aquatic, because there were sea-monsters very similar to land-dragons in many aspects. Both were large, both were reptilian looking, both terrorized the hearts of mankind, and both were therefore hunted. What is important is that these creatures were given the order to praise God, and that they do so without complaint as seen in our previous verse, which Gill lists.

As a matter of fact, Psalm 148 begins and ends with the word “Hallelujah”, and its followed by the phrase “praise ye The LORD” in the first verse. The KJV translates them the same, but the two are “Halal Yahh” and “Halal Yahweh”. This entire chapter is nothing but God calling everything in the universe to worship Him. It is a very interesting psalm. Rather than give an extensive breakdown of it all, which would be very lengthy, allow me to quote it for context on where dragons fit.

Psalms 148:1-14
Praise ye The LORD [Heb. “Hallelujah”].
Praise ye The LORD [Yahweh] from the heavens:
praise Him in the heights.
Praise ye Him, all His angels:
praise ye Him, all His hosts.
Praise ye Him, sun and moon:
praise Him, all ye stars of light.
Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens,
and ye waters that be above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of The LORD:
for He commanded, and they were created.
He hath also stablished them for ever and ever:
He hath made a decree which shall not pass.

Praise The LORD from the earth,
ye dragons, and all deeps:
fire, and hail;
snow, and vapour;
stormy wind fulfilling His Word:
mountains, and all hills;
fruitful trees, and all cedars:
beasts, and all cattle;
creeping things, and flying fowl [Heb. “birds of wing”]:

kings of the earth, and all people;
princes, and all judges of the earth:
both young men, and maidens;
old men, and children:
let them praise the name of The LORD:
for His name alone is excellent [Heb. “exalted”];
His glory is above the earth and heaven.

He also exalteth the horn of His people,
the praise of all His saints [Christ-ones];
even of the children of Israel, a people near unto Him.
Praise ye The LORD [Hallelujah].

One might notice that when put in a poetic format, like music often is meant to be—such as psalms—that this chapter often pairs opposites together: sun and moon, fire and ice, insects and birds, elderly and children, boys and girls. Based on this, one could easily argue that “dragons and oceans” are meant to be taken as both being part of the world, which even the oceans are on top of the solid crust of the earth. This would make them opposites again.

Now, it should be noted that dragons and the other creatures of the earth are not the only ones who know God exists. Even satan knows the truth according to,

James 2:19—Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

What is the difference? Satan is not worshiping God as God, while this entire universe is doing it every second of every day.

Psalms 19:1-4a—The heavens declare the glory of God [El]; and the firmament sheweth His handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard [or, “without these their voice is heard”; Heb. “without their voice heard”]. Their line [or, “rule”, or, “direction”] is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

Satan is evil, but he will worship God one day.

Philippians 2:10-11—That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [Messiah] is Lord, to the glory of God The Father.

So if you are reading this treatise and are not a believer in Jesus The Messiah. If you do not give Him the credit worth His due, but you are a fan of dragons. Follow their example and honor The Creator of this universe. If you do not do it here and now, then you will do it when satan does, and that moment is too late.

Very Good

Genesis 1:20-23—And God [Elohim] said, “Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving [or, “creeping”] creature [Heb. “soul”] that hath life, and fowl that may fly [Heb. “let fowl fly”] above the earth in the open firmament of heaven [Heb. “face of the firmament of heaven”].” And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.” And the evening and the morning were [Heb. “And the evening was, and the morning was”] the fifth day.

Here we see “great whales” in the KJV, but the ASV and DBY say “great sea-monsters”, the WEB says “large sea creatures”, Young’s Literal Translation says “great monsters”, and the NIV says “great creatures of the sea”. Yes, this is the word tanniyn, as the Jubilee Bible (JUB, 2000) confirms: “the great dragons”. This is actually the first use of the word, because how can you go back before they were in existence? Although not everyone agrees it should be rendered as dragon, they all do agree the word means something very big.

Now, there are three things that must be taken into consideration from these verses alone to decipher what tanniyn are here. The first is that when God was planning what to create, He said two types: moving creatures that have life, and birds that fly. Yet when He actually created them, He made three types: living creatures that move in the water, winged birds, and tanniyn. Dragons could go into either category since they are a third grouping. Sea-monsters were a type of dragon in the ancient world, and many kinds of dragons could fly, but there is nothing to say that all dragons could not swim, being reptilian-like. Dragons could be both aquatic and avian in one, and we must not forget land is already in existence so they could rest.

Second, dragons are paired with “every living creature that moveth” when it says “which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind”, which that is a great description of most sea creatures. They do not walk to move around; they just simply move. It might be side-to-side like a shark, up-and-down like a dolphin, “flying” like a manta ray, a “wave” like an eel, a “wiggle” like a giant sea-serpent, or flippers like a plesiosaur. Dragons are paired with these as being said to be in the water, so these were likely not the typical Occidental Dragon.

And third, in the blessing which God puts on all these creatures He just made He says, “fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.” Here again God goes back to sea creatures and birds, just like He did in the planning stage. Looking forwards and looking backwards to His creation on Day #5, God sees only swimming and flying. Even though “owph” in the Hebrew can mean “covered with wings” for which many dragons were, it seems from God’s commentary on what He did, He did not create quadruped dragons on this day. Biped Wyverns are built similar to birds, though, with two feet and two wings—equal to four limbs—so they could still have been created here.

Genesis 1:31 KJV—And God [Elohim] saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were [Heb. “And the evening was, and the morning was”] the sixth day.

Bishops’ Bible—And God sawe euery thyng that he had made [And God saw every thing that He had made]: and beholde, it was exceedyng good [and behold, it was exceeding good]. And the euenyng & the mornyng were the sixth day [And the evening and the morning were the sixth day].

Tyndale’s Translation—And God behelde al that he had made [And God beheld all that He had made] ad loo they were exceadynge good [and lo they were exceeding good]: and so of the evenynge and mornynge was made the syxth daye [and so of the evening and morning was made the sixth day].

Wycliffe’s Translation—And God seiy alle thingis whiche he made [And God sees all things which He made], and tho weren ful goode [and they were in full good]. And the euentid and morwetid was maad, the sixte day [And the eventide and morntide was made, the sixth day].

We must also remember that at the beginning of creation, everything was “mĕ`odtowb” in Hebrew, or “very exceedingly fully inside good” in English, or what we would call “perfect” today. God did not say perfect, even though it was, since He is even more holy, thus this universe was below His level. Perfect means, though, that dragons were good too, because by this time everything was created, including Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:26-28). Even if quadruped dragons were not included in sea creatures, or flying creatures, they had to be included inside land creatures.

Genesis 1:24-25—And God [Elohim] said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind:” and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

The “remes”, or creeping things, are most often considered the insects and other similar creatures. This would be spiders, centipedes, ants, butterflies, grasshoppers, etc. Many think this also includes many types of reptiles, especially lizards, because they too need to “creep along the ground”. But most dragons did not creep in this way, and rather walked or swam or flew, so they are likely not a creeping thing.

The “bĕhemah”, or cattle, as discussed earlier, are likely wild animals. Although, commentators are in complete agreement that these are likely tamable and able to be domesticated. The word also has a sense of them being herd animals, like elephants, cows, horses, sheep, dogs, etc. As we will see later in Part 2, it is possible that dragons fit in this word, and it would be fascinating info if they do. All those dreams of being dragon-riders would be reasonable if one could tame dragons. Yet, at the same time, from what we have seen previously, dragons seem pretty wild to be tamed, but those might be specific types of dragons, while other types may be gentler.

The “beast (chay) of the earth (erets)” is also agreed upon to mean wild animals, but in this case ferocious and carnivorous. This would match the dragons inhabiting Babylon and the like pretty well. So the quadruped dragons may fit into this category. Or they may simply fit into the “chaynephesh”, or breathing creature. As we have been discussing, dragons do not really fit anywhere in a lot of cases. They could walk, many could fly, and surely most could swim. So really, they breathe, are alive, and are a creature. So they may be wrapped up in this general description.

Genesis 1:29-30—And God [Elohim] said, “Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed [Heb. “seeding seed”], which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed [Heb. “seeding seed”]; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life [Heb. “a living soul”], I have given every green herb for meat:” and it was so.

Here we see some of what a perfect world is to be like: everyone is an herbivore, no omnivores or carnivores. This means everyone eats plants only, no meat or a combination of both. The word here “oklah” means simply food, not meat as we mean it today. The reason for this is because death, which predators undeniably cause, did not begin until after Adam sinned in Genesis 3. There was not even a possibility to scavenge before that time, and it was not legal to eat meat until after the Noachian Deluge in Genesis 9:1-4 when God gave us permission. At that point, all remnants of this perfect world were erased until Jesus brings a terraform to this planet at His Second Coming, putting it back to how it was at the beginning.

Peace

Isaiah 11:6-9—The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid [young goat]; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox [bullock]. And the sucking [nursing] child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ [or, “adders”] den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of The LORD [Yahweh], as the waters cover the sea.

Many paintings have been done—some famous—of this passage of Scripture, and with good reason. They describe what this planet’s restoration will look like in regard to the animals. While dragons are not specifically mentioned, any which are left will be under the same restoration power of Jesus. We know from Revelation 20 that this blessed time will last for 1,000 years—a.k.a. The Millennium! During The Millennium we shall once again ride dragons, just as Adam and Eve likely did and perhaps some of their early posterity. We await this day with eager anticipation!

In case there is any doubt as to when this happens, we must merely look earlier in the chapter:

Isaiah 11:1-5—And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: and The Spirit of The LORD [Yahweh] shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of Wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of Counsel and might, The Spirit of Knowledge and of the fear of The LORD; and shall make Him of quick understanding [Heb. “scent” or, “smell”] in the fear of the LORD: and He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears: but with righteousness shall He judge the poor, and reprove [or, “argue”] with equity for the meek of the earth: and He shall smite the earth with The Rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of His loins, and faithfulness the girdle of His reins.

This rod is spoken of three times in Revelation: Rev. 2:27, 12:5, and 19:15. All of these refer to Jesus Christ, so this chapter of Isaiah cannot mean anyone else but The Messiah’s Second Advent. Also, there can be little doubt that it is The Holy Spirit being described. There is a similar passage, though, and still in Isaiah.

Isaiah 65:24-25—“And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I [Adonai Yahweh] will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock [ox]: and dust shall be the serpent’s meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” saith The LORD [Yahweh].

This passage is not speaking of The Millennial Restoration like the previous one, however. This one parallels Revelation 21, as demonstrated by the below verse:

Isaiah 65:17—For, behold, I [Elohim of Truth] create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind [Heb. “come upon the heart”].

So, if there have been any doubts in your mind as to whether or not the New Universe will include animals, let those doubts be at rest. We see five animals that are listed as crossing-over to the next Earth, so there is no reason to suppose the seven or more from the earlier passage will not be there too. And if all of them are there, so will all the other unnamed kinds of animals—extinct and extant. So even if dragons will not, for some reason, be in The Millennial Reign, they shall for sure be on the new planet Earth!

The Gospel

Mark 16:15-18—And He [Jesus] said unto them, “Go ye into all the world, and preach The Gospel [Good News] to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these signs shall follow them that believe; in My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”

This verse has intrigued me for years. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not just for people but also for animals! The Companion Bible Notes (CBN, 1922) states the Greek literally equates to “all the creation” and Marvin Vincent’s Word Studies in the New Testament (VWS, 1888) confirms it means “to the whole creation.” Unfortunately, the only other similar reference is:

Colossians 1:23—If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of The Gospel [Good News], which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;

Here we simply learn that The Gospel has been proclaimed to every creature. In both passages the same word is used: “ktisis”. The most common translation of this word in these verses is “creature” or “creation”. While it is true commentaries basically unanimously make this to mean only humans, and more specifically Gentile nations, I just cannot help but wonder why Jesus would not have used that phrase instead. Why include animals in the literal meaning?

Gill correctly points out that animals “need not the preaching of the Gospel”, and I concur in the next section. But, animals do still benefit from the proclaiming of The Gospel, as is evident from Jesus’ command. They do not need it in the sense of Salvation, but in some way creation benefits from The Good News.

One way is, I believe, what one person had done, but which I cannot source. They had prayed and prayed over their house’s yard and for the animals in it or who passed through it. He asked that it would be filled with peace, much like the previous section. Eventually, the prayers were granted. Foxes stopped chasing rabbits, and the fear of man was largely removed. His yard had become a paradise, of sorts, for animals. If that is not a benefit, I do not know what is.

Teaching

Job 12:7-10—But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. “Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of The LORD [Yahweh] hath wrought this? In Whose hand is the soul [or, “life”] of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind [Heb. “all flesh of man”].”

In the same vein as Psalm 19:1-4, quoted in the Praise section, where we see that the universe is declaring God’s glory in a language that every human can and DOES hear, here we see all of the animal kingdom is telling us the same thing—that God has created them. Dragons would be included in this as well. And I have long wondered how literal these verses might be. If we could speak the language of the dolphins, what might they tell us? Would they tell us about God? Would they tell us evolution is wrong? I would think yes, because of these verses, and others already discussed.

There are no atheistic animals, and there are no atheistic people. God said so here, Psalm 19, and the below verse:

Romans 1:18-22—For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold The Truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them [or, “to them”]; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead [trinity]; so that they are [or, “that they may be”] without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Pretty self-explanatory, do you not think?
