Modern unicorn= delicate glitter fluff.
Biblical unicorn = high capacity assault tank.

Yes, the biblical Unicorn is a DESTROYER OF BONES OF THE ENEMIES
🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️
Rhinoceros with single horn
A bicorn was a rhino with 2 horns.
It wasn't just biblical language, it was also agriculture jargon. 🤦
Elasmotherium, an ancient rhino, is both a wool/ fluffand an assault tank.

If you read the comments and see people mocking, you know they likely paid no attention to the video and are ignorant.
Indeed :-)
😂 Sooo if we dont accept their reasons that this mythology creature exist or not exist we are ignorant. Theyre right and if I dont accept their version of interpreting the bible we are ignorant. Clown. Rhinos scientific name was given after your fictional biblical events. Nobody thinks a unicorn is actually a rhino but these clowns. Other Christians say unicorns do exist but you are right and they are wrong. 🤯 Christians say whatever to make the bible true. Every animal humans are aware of from the past we are aware because of fossils. Why do we not have one single fossil for those Christiansthat say it exist? Simply put the bible has magic in it and magic isn't real. 😤
Probably only stayed two minutes to type their comment then left.
@@gadaboutgriffon4446 Nope. I'm here. What's up? 🥱
The ignorance of religious beliefs should be mocked
This makes a lot of sense. Also, In Asia the rino horns are still considered to have medicinal and magical powers. So this is actually very consistent
Thought to, but they don’t
You're right, the obsession makes sense given how powerful the bible portrayed them
@@NathanH83 unicorns were are not rhinos although I challenge any medieval farmer or even modern farmer to try and use them for ploughing lol
Not saying they had any magical properties even then
@@cedriceric9730
The Bible doesn’t say that the unicorn can be used for plowing
@@NathanH83 it doesn't and neither did I imply that it was
From what I have read (at least 30yrs ago) is that there once was a European King that knew how to breed unicorns. They were not horses but goats not unlike the Bakra goats of India and Pakistan. These gigantic goats stand six feet tall today and are the size of a pony. Now, this is from my memory so I may have the details wrong, but these goats were bred to have a single horn, which actually was two horns twisted together. This also may be the reason that some modern-day pictures of "horse" unicorns having beards (like a goat).
The size of a pony and the temperament of a goat, I would be terrified of a creature like that.
Interesting!!
Look them up on inet, nothing like what you describe, definitely nowhere near 6 feet high and some have two twisted horns, not twisted together !
Rhinoceros
Not impossible.
So grateful for explaining this beautiful creature with Biblical TRUTH. Bless u guys!👍🏼😃🙏🏼
A prehistoric Rhinoceros fits the accounts in the Bible. Also in the Bible there are huge giants like King Og (who's bed and coffin was around 9 cubits close to 14 ft), ginns and satyrs, dragons and the behemoth (which I believe were prehistoric type of dinosaurs that walked with humans).

Dinosaurs and humans walking around at the same time? Like on the Flintstones?!? Christians are absolutely insane. Over 350 million yrs separate our species. Tell me one thing. 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm sorry. Tell me one thing. How did humans survive as a species when dinosaurs went exinct? I'm mean we were there with the dino's so what killed them all off but didnt kill us. See your problem is you simply dint think thru at all what you are saying. You just say it and expect others to accept it. Most of science thinks a asteroid killed off this ancient species but you say we were there so why didnt the asteroid kill off all humans to extinction like all the other animals of that time. And why dont humans know for sure what happened. You say we were there? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Gary-fq8cx I think you misread my comment… I am questioning why someone would think dinosaurs and humans existed at the same time

When I saw the title, I immediately wondered, "Are they going to come to the conclusion that it was the rhinoceros or the goats that Egyptians would bind the horns of to make single a horn?"
I have heard it both ways, but the rhinoceros does make the most sense in the context of all the mentions of strength and untamablity.
When Adam named all the animals he named rhinoceros as it's own animal
I remember being a child and coming across the word "Unicorn" in the bible, so I asked my aunt what it was talking about? She said it wasn't the same unicorn as everyone is thinking! But she left it at that and never really explained it to me
When I was a child they told me my questions would be answered by God when I died.
After about the third time this happened, I realized that they were trying to get me to believe things that they had no evidence for, or good reason to believe to be true in the first place.
@@drewdrake9130 Exactly! My aunt and uncle were very smart people, so I never understood why they took everything that book said as serious as they did? Especially since there wasn't a valid explanation for literally all of it?
@@justinhayes2194
One of the first things I did when I learned how to spot bad reasoning, was ask questions, of those who believe, to uncover the rationality used to support the conclusions that were being presented to me.
I still do this , and not once have I ever been presented anything other than bad reasoning.
It all depends on who you ask. Not all Christians have the training or mental ability to know everything about Scripture. Just like only a small percentage of people are brain surgeons or quantum physicists. I could have told you 30 years ago about Rhinoceros Unicornis and Bicornis. I don't know everything about Scripture, but I've learnt a lot and that's due to doing as YOU did: ask questions. I was lucky, maybe in ways you weren't, by having people around me that weren't prideful. Who said, "I don't know that answer. Try asking X instead". You didn't get that much, going by what you've said. You just had bad reasoning from ignorant yet well meaning Christians who just stuck to the old saw: "If the Bible says it, I believe it." They failed to take to heart what the Apostles told us: "Have a REASON for the faith that is in you."
I'd happily take a stab at any question, and most of the common "problem" questions I've seen and answered over and over. You could stump me with some, of course. But I'll do as other did for me: send you to someone better suited in that particular field.
@@Iluvantir I'm from the south, like Mobile Alabama south! So pretty much 100% of the Baptists I was raised around all had the same mentality when it came to the bible: Don't ask no questions, and believe everything that book says. Anything else is blasphemy and will not be tolerated! Even logical questions that weren't meant in a harmful way we're looked at as a No No! I guess that's part of the reason for my feelings about organized religion to this very day. If only I had met someone like you that was actually willing to at least TRY to the explain!
Oh my..you are right!! I'm Dutch, so I have the old state translation and the revised state translation. State translation uses 'eenhoorn' (unicorn), and the revised translation uses wild ox..
Really love this video! Bravo! Great job, you guys! Keep up the great work!
Thx guys! Interesting fact is that on the royal crest of the British family, there is a lion and a unicorn which led me to think that in some way they've existed and maybe extinct much like dragons.
It's possible. In the Indus River Valley Civilization ruins in India there are carved images of unicorns which are consistent with the ancient Greek description of a Unicorn....sort of a mix in appearance between a horse, goat, and zebra or Donkey. It was seen by the Greeks as being an actual animal that was elusive and uncontrollable, mysterious.
You mean the United Kingdom. The Lion is English, and the Unicorn is Scott. The Unicorn is also the Crest for the Clan Stewart of Appin.

Love you show! Thanks for doing all the research. Historical study is my favorite!!
After watching the entire video this has strengthened my faith. Thank you!
They did shoddy research. Israel didn't have rhinos in the Hebrew or Jewish eras. The last time Israel had rhinos, according to the fossil record, was during the Miocene, over 20 million years ago. According to the Hebrew sources, it was a wild ox aka the auroch. Unicorn is a bad translation of the Hebrew root word.

That's crazy! I was just thinking about this last week and then you guys make a video about it. Great minds think alike.
I always thought the unicorn died out during the time of Noah’s Ark because of the song “The Unicorn” that the Irish Rovers made popular.
Elasmotherium lived in biblical lands!
During the reign of Darius I the Great, the Persian-Achaemenid Empire stretched from the Balkan Peninsula, Egypt, to northwest India. That mighty empire also conquered parts of Kazakhstan, where they discovered the remains of Elasmotherium.
Darius I also sent an army on his "Scythian Campaign" into Russia, Ukraine and parts of Romania.
In all these lands, there were Elasmotheriums "Sibiricums" (Siberian) and "Caucasicums" (Caucasus).
In Persian mythology, there was a one-horned creature called "Karkadann" which means rhinoceros. It is said that the Karkadann had venomous horns. Fossils of Iranotheriums have already been discovered in the Iran/Persia region.
Furthermore, on the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser III, there is a description of cattle and antelope, alongside a possible rhinoceros; and in Indus Valley culture, there are descriptions (perhaps Aurochs) with a unicorn animal.
Ahmad ibn Fadlan, a Muslim traveler of the 10th century, wrote that on his journey to Russia, near the Volga River, the inhabitants hunted a dangerous and giant species which, according to Fadlan, was said to be a rhinoceros. He also mentioned Yemen.
There are fossil records of Sinotherium in China and reports of Chinese unicorns; Rouffignac and Lascaux cave paintings of unicorns and historical records by Pliny the Elder, among others. The Sumerian Rimu was depicted with only one horn.
Therefore, the Biblical "Re'em" may very well have been a Unicorn, as they lived in Biblical lands.
The Assyrian Remu is considered the cognate of Re'em and indicated the Aurochs. But I'm interested in considering the possibilities.
@@mikedebell2242
Yes, I also believe it was an Aurochs. Julius Caesar described them in his "Gallic Wars" as:
A little below the elephant in size, and of the appearance, color, and shape of a bull. Their strength and speed are extraordinary; they spare neither man nor wild beast which they have espied... Not even when taken very young can they be rendered familiar to men and tamed. The size, shape, and appearance of their horns differ much from the horns of our oxen. These they anxiously seek after, and bind at the tips with silver, and use the cups at their most sumptuous entertainments.
Just a correction. I said that the word Rimu comes directly from Sumerian, but actually seems to derive from the Assyrian language. However, my question is: Why were the aurochs represented with only one horn, even if that meant "artistic symmetry"?
For me, Psalm 22 clearly proves that Re'em was an aurochs, while Job 39 proves that he was a dangerous animal and difficult to tame. Deuteronomy 33 seems to indicate that: Joseph is the aurochs, while Manasseh and Ephraim are the two horns. Another interpretation says that it would be a rhinoceros; the greater horn is Ephraim, and the lesser is Manasseh.
The Re'em was an animal that Israelites - as well as their neighbors - should have been familiar with. But I don't deny the possibility of having been a "unicorn"!
Job (1710-1570 B.C.) lived during the Ice Age! Yes, according to recent biblical and scientific data, the Ice Age was a consequence of Noah's Flood.
The Land of Uz was close to the Gulf of Aqaba. The Book of Job (6:15-20; 9:30-31; 24:7; 30:5-10; 37:9-10 and 38:22-30), possibly describes the Glacial Maximum, when glaciers covered 30% of the Earth. Regions like, United States, Europe, Siberia, Patagonia, Canada, Antarctica and parts of China, Korea and Japan).
This being so, it is not improbable that an "Elasmotherium" was sighted on the Arabian Peninsula in Job's day. Uz was a land - just like North Africa and the Middle East - full of lush vegetation and a very cold winter climate. Yes, Job 29:2 says that Job was suffering "MONTHS", while Job 2 describes the visit of his friends.
Job 6 says that [caravans coming from Teman] perished when looking for torrents with ICE and SNOW. (Teman is the land of Eliphaz).
There is a possibility that Siberian Unicorns inhabited the Middle East for a short time, before migrating further north!
God bless you!
@@biblicus8204 Could have been.
I think Caesar was exaggerating a little as the Auroch bull was about six feet at the shoulder from what I have read, larger in the north than the south of Europe. That's around the size of a bison. (Weisant)
I agree that the ice age was a result of the flood and that the region of the middle east was lusher at the time. Rhinos probably lived there then.
I still wonder how our cattle are descended from an untamable, even from a calf, bovine? Somebody must have domesticated one, or they really come from some other type.
I'm also a little suspicious of dogs coming from wolves though they can interbreed.
I'm suspicious that there may have been animals that started hanging with man right off the ark. Certain kinds of sheep and goats as well.
@@mikedebell2242
You don't believe in "Baraminology"? I honestly don't. The Book of Leviticus is "SILENT" about this idea.
The Bible clearly "distinguishes" a wolf from a dog, fox, or jackal. But advocates of Baraminology say they are practically the same creature.
I am reminded of the passage from Jeremiah: "Can the Ethiopian change his color? Or the leopard his spots?"
They say that God created one type of each species and that they diversified quickly after the Flood. However, we don't see that today. They "REDUCE" the animals on the Ark.
The Bible clearly differentiates Lions from cats, leopards, etc.
"But they don't cross?" Yes, but your offspring can have huge deficiencies and even infertility on certain occasions.
Furthermore, God commanded humans, 'NOT' to mate with different species of animals!!
I truly believe that Elephants, Mammoths and Mastodons were together on the Ark.
As we are talking about unicorns, I remembered one detail. Woolly rhinos lived alongside Elasmotherium, but never mated with each other and produced offspring.
This indicative seems to refute baraminology, which says that they are the same creature, but with a certain limitation in species.
Well, I'm not a scientist, I should ask them.
@@biblicus8204 Yea, I've heard of this in recent years. There's a few varying species that seem to be able to hibridize. Polar and grizzly have recently. Some birds in the warblers are so close that they interviewed where thier ranges overlap. Variation does take place within a kind like the finches in the Galapagos depending on the food source for that year. (Their bills).
I figure that they already have to have the genes for that since God knew that situation was going to arise. Not very scientific, but hey.
It brings joy to my heart to hear truth! You two are great to listen to as you banter back and forth.....thank you for the joy😅

When I see how the rhinoceros lopes along, all I can think of is a cat as it lopes along, just as scripture mentioned. I would never have thought of a rhinoceros as being the unicorn until you guys mentioned it. Thank you.
All you can think of is a cat just as scripture mentioned? You may want to read the scripture! It is not a CAT that is mentioned in the scriptures, it is a CALF. Psalms chapter 29, verse 6, "He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn."

@@itzcaseykc Yeah, Hillary Clinton also claimed that she mis-spoke when she got called out for not telling the truth! It is in my mind that you watched the video and when they mentioned the word calf you thought that they said cat and without doing any research just replied and agreed with them saying that it was just as the scripture says! There are no similarities in the gait of a cat and a rhinoceros, except that they both walk on four legs! You just hurried up and agreed that when you see a rhino galloping it reminds you of a cat! I have seen video of rhinoceros galloping and a cat would be the last species of animal that I would think of!

Unicorn animals are or were real. They are still the national animal symbol for Scotland!
I'm a simple person...
If the Bible says there were unicorns, there were unicorns.
Now what creature the writers of Scripture were calling a unicorn, that's entirely up for grabs.
Thank you for sharing this information and making this video. Well done!
Why is the scientific name of the Rhinoceros ~ Rhinocerus Unicornus ? Because the Unicorn was always the Rhinoceros . The multi colored Rhinoceros was Elasmotherium ~ Who was Gigantic and lived till about 5000 years ago. Who's horn may have been up to 6 feet long...I had a goat who had green mold around his black hooves, White coat with red, yellow and orange and brown and grey and even bluish grey mixed in there. If Paco could have all those colors then ELASMOTHERIUM could have as well.
Well it didn't go extinct 5000 years ago. At most around 4000 years. It had to be extinct either during the flood or afterward, but not before. GOD bless you!

I think part of the problem with people having trouble believing in unicorns in the Bible is our modern notion of unicorns. For many (including myself) the image that comes to mind is one of cartoons and fantasy. If we remove all of these preconceived notions and simply talk of a horse with a horn, it becomes not so inconceivable as there are several species of animals that have a horn.
The monoceros, or the Indian Rhino. The dictionaries caused the confusion when they added to the definition of "unicorn" w/ a horse with a single horn.

Thanks for this episode. Need one on dragons and how the description to image of one came about
Eve had relations with a reptile and so birthed Cain. Cain killed Abel what happened to the body? Phonetics gives the answer - "Cainabel"
Please show us where this happened. The Bible does not state Eve had relations with a reptile.
GEN 4: 1
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
Dragon = Large reptile, a terrible lizard.
Old English dictionaries say "A very rare creature, not seen often", about 400-500 years ago. At the time the Bible was translated into English.
The last reported "dragon slaying" was about 300 or so years ago in Ireland, a farmer killed one that was about 5 or 6 feet in length.
So they went extinct.
Then about 200 years ago or less, bones of giant animals were found (in England). And people asked, "What are these?"
We call them "Dinosaurs". Greek deinos "terrible" + sauros "lizard". Terrible lizard.
And then the people who wanted to prove God didn't exist said that "The Bible talks of dragons and unicorns, which are myths."
Except the Rhino is still here, and some "dinosaurs" are still here (Crocs, Alligators). Dragons are dinosaurs. They are the ONE "myth" creature that exists in all cultures, just in different forms and shapes...
... just like Dinosaurs have different forms and shapes.
The bible states who are what is the dragon...the devil...that old serpent...satan is the dragon..
O he was an angel in heaven that hated Jesus and the plan had for mankind.
He rebelled against God
@@susanhamilton8288 Yes and no, Susan. Yes, the Bible compares Satan to a dragon. Just as it compares Jesus to both a lion and a lamb, and as Jesus compared himself to a door, bread, etc. These are not definitions of "dragon" or "lion", etc.
In fact, whenever the Bible compares one thing to another it always does so with real to real. Lions are real. Lambs are real. Unicorns are Rhinos (single horned variants)... so why would it latch onto mythical, make-believe creatures for comparing Lucifer to a dragon?
Dragons exist in all societies, with tales and legends being built up around them. Some societies today still claim that their "dragons" still can be found, with rumours from the Congo to the South American jungles. Descriptions of such creatures always make us Westerners think of "dinosaurs".
There are pictures of dragons engraved in bronze in a church in the north of England. The church is about 1000 years old. And the dragons are two Brontosaurus-like creatures with their necks intertwined. They look perfectly as we NOW understand these creatures to have looked, from their bones. When their bones were first discovered and drawings were made, they did not look as we now understand them to have looked, with that form of science still in it's infancy. So how did someone 1000 years ago manage to draw them so exactly, carved into bronze plaques, when in the 1800s we made a complete hash of it?
Because they saw them 1000 years ago. Dragons went extinct as we hunted them into extinction. Understandable, really, as such creatures are large, trample things, are dangerous. If we wanted to build a civilization we'd have cleared out the more dangerous creatures.
What were dragon-slayers actually slaying? Knights just making up stories to entertain the common folk? We'd ask for proof of such claims today, no? Wouldn't people 500, 600, 1000 years ago also have asked?
---
"I've killed a dragon today!"
"Really?"
"Yeah... it's a mile down the road. Put up a fight, but here... a tooth. You can go get the rest and sell it."
---
We'd demand proof today, so would people in days gone by. Why, then, did "dragons" enter myth if they were once real? Understanding history and how people thought. During the 1500s to late 1700s, extinction wasn't "a thing" in people's minds. Those in the Christian world believed God would never allow any animal to "vanish" completely. So when dragons DID vanish it was very easy for people to "brush off" the tales and histories of dragons as mere myth and legend, make-believe. Then, dinosaur bones were discovered and the real history of dragons wasn't pointed to. Instead they invented "millions of years ago" and latched it onto evolution instead.
There are records of dragon encounters by Alexander the Great, Caesar, from all over the world. The kings of Babylon had pet dragons, so did the Kings and Emperors of China. Stories come from tribes and cultures everywhere.
The bible never talks about anything it doesn't consider real. Dragons were real to the writers of the Scriptures. Behemoth is described (Brontosaurus like again, by the description in Job), Leviathan is as well.
So yes, the devil is called a dragon. He's also likened to a lion. Jesus is called abstracted things like "way", "truth". He is called a lamb, a lion, a branch, a star. Doesn't mean any of them weren't real things though.
Thank you for this! It’s great to make it fun to learn…..
Oh dear…my husband says that I’m a unicorn. I’m actually a rhinoceros? Well, I am of strong Irish heritage. 🤔
Yes , you're a type of rhinoceros
I believe the unicorn was a massive white horse with a protruding horn just as we see depicted in the medieval age. Lore of the Unicorn was a great book on the subject. The beast was driven to extinction because of the superstitious if not mystical properties attributed to its horn.
Rhinoceros. Middle ages translators interpreted and visualized it wrong
I agree with you, I also believe that the word unicorn was used to classify animals with one horn, such as the rhino and the narwhale. I also believe that there was a one-horned goat.
@@leslievinsmoke You should watch my video titled Does our Lord return on a unicorn
@@almsforthepoor9395 Could be a Pegasus...
@@skilz8098 Pegasus was depicted as winged. The Bible doesn't describe unicorns as being winged. But I could see the mythological idea springing from the fact that Christ descends from the sky. Angels are often depicted as winged, but the Bible describes them in no such way save the cherubim/ seraphim.
Fun way to put this information out there. I’ll be sure to share it with my little girls.
God bless y’all and all you do.
Thank you so much for helping me with the clarity...I've read it in the Bible and wondered ok it's real but what was it actually was it as we described or way different...I ran into this and I felt like God was showing me here is your answer...it definitely shows that the way that most of the world sees things definitely goes into a turn that leads to a dead end.
The original meaning of the Hebrew word translated to unicorn is unknown. So we don’t know what kind of animal this was. But we know it was strong and powerful.
It would be obvious to look at the animal that is described; a one horned creature with great strength. All the clues and details are in the Word....here a little, there a little, line upon line, precept upon precept. I have concluded it means a rhinoceros or type of an ancient breed of rhinoceros. The Ark was covered with badger skins when transported in the wilderness, yet it doesn't really mean badger. Some translations use a seal or dolphin (unclean animal-abomination-sin).
Thanks. I was wondering why God was talking about an ox as if it was something Job couldn't tame.
Unicorns must have been very special because the evildoers turned the unicorn 🦄 into a weak and childish like.🙏🦁🕊🔥
Deluded pagan cultures slaughter them for 'special' properties roughly equivalent to human fingernails. Rhino.
Whereas the "pink magical pretend thing i.e. never existed" represents the strength and pride of some 'alphabet' perversion..so yeah, another one of satans devices used to distort God's creation truth, nature and scripture.
Indeed , that's the sort of thing they always do
You mean like they did with Jesus?
Excellent videos guys.
Doesn't unicorn just mean a single horned animal? Description clearly implys that writer assumed folks knew what animal they were talking about. How it got to a horse???? Now that would be interesting to find out.. sort of like how the silly jolly Santa Claus came out of songs and Christmas card pictures of a fat elf.. but then there's the rabbit trail of fictional things that folks create. I think I saw a Jack-a-lope!!
Dear C Reinecke,
The Rhinoceros unicornis was considered to be a type of horse or horse-like animal as was the hippopotamus (hippo is horse and potamus is water ie waterhorse).
The unicorn is not a horned horse in the Bible it's a rhinoceros whose genius and phylum name is rhinoceros unicornis it's the great one-horned Indian rhinoceros
Love this format. Great topic.
GOD bless you! This is so dope. ✊🏾🥶
Great comparative study.
Thanks guys! Praising out graciously creator God for His many wonders!
Has anyone ever tried to tame a rhino? It could even reference an animal that is extinct.
There was one rhino tamer but he got impaled...rough occupation.
@@alantasman8273 lol?
wowww this is amaaaazing.
thank you!
i love the editing job
Before listening, I'm guessing the unicorn of old is the single horned rhino. Now I will test myself! :D YUP!! WINNER~WINNER!! CHICKEN DINNER!!!!
Agreed. Rhino!
As the older dictionaries called them... the monoceros.
A "flying horse" is a pegasus. Unicorns were very real, but not the mythical unicorns from storybooks. The rhino is a fierce, powerful creature. The greater one horned rhino has one long black horn.
Not really true Pegasus was the son of Poseidon, he was a God and winged stallion.
thanks! so interesting!
You mentioned that we're in a culture, actually, we are in a society, community, and culture is how we interpret what we believe in.
I'm not a believer and I do scoff at much of the content on this channel - but I thought this episode was pretty even-handed, entertaining and informative, so thank you.
I implore you to take a better look at scripture and come to the saving grace of Jesus the Christ. Your being here is no accident. God calls us to him...some will listen and be saved...others will ignore Him and there will be everlasting judgement.
@@alantasman8273
I've only ever been told by other humans that a God calls us to him.
Should I take their word for it, without any direct evidence?
@@drewdrake9130 many of these people are being used to speak make not mistake in that, we must be heard to have caused trouble when it isn't the case it is God's plan in handy to use these women and men to speak life into you. God speaks through his people each evidence is in your design.

Should I just take your word for it?
Should I believe what other humans Claim about their god without any direct evidence?
@@drewdrake9130 Well the world around you is full of designs, why not trust in the designer? If you see smoke, there is probably a fire…
The scientific (Latin) name for the one horn rhino is Rhinoceros Unicornis. The KJ translates the Latin Bible into English. No surprise that Unicorn is in the Bible when it's speaking about a one horn rhino.
Thanks guys
Wow! I loved this!
WAIT! So your telling me there is no such thing as a unicorn horse? Darn, and I was hoping to ride one in heaven.
The Bible also reference the Oryx (Gemsbok) and Rhino
Good stuff, guys.
Thanks!
These guys are GREAT! My granddaughter loves unicorns 😮
Yeah but I suspect your little granddaughter still believes in Santa Claus which makes more sense than an adult believing in unicorns.
@@brax2364 So sorry for your petulant attitude, joy is in the Lord Creator of ALL! Amen
@@brax2364 Go check the scientific names for the two types or Rhinos, then come back to us.
The same culture that has redefined God has redefined the creature that was used demonstrated his strength and power. Makes perfect sense.
Yup and with homosexual pride colors....
@@alantasman8273 it must have gored many of Satans servants who " pridefully" tried to tame it
God bragging about it must have hurt Satan so bad he has dedicated a significant portion of his remaining short time to insult the unicorn 😂😂😂
I have been wondering about the unicorn in the Bible since I was a kid, Thanks for this lesson video. 👏🏽👏🏽
Amazing informative
Rhinos also can “skip like a calf”. Have seen videos of baby rhinos doing it, too adorable.
Great content. Thanks for the biblical commentary. Can you do a video about Camels? I heard similar criticisms from non-believers that Camels were not in certain regions in a particular time yet the Bible would reference them.
I saw a video that contradicted that
It's like people not believing that lions or even some bears couldn't live in the Middle East... but they did!
There was also a large powerful descendant of dinosaurs whose fossils were dated before and shortly after Noah. It had 1 horn and was the size of a horse.
Even if it was a horse with a horn it’s not particularly far fetched for an animal.
I've been wondering about this. I just assumed that unicorns must have gone extinct from people hunting them for their "magical" properties. This may be true, but rhinos make a lot more sense to me.
Of course it makes sense when you making stuff up. All of it is made up so you can plug in what you want when you want. These clowns forget that the rhino scientific name was given long after the events in the bible so actually they make no sense at all. People in the bible weren't aware of rhinos scientific name which wouldn't be given for centuries after the fact. Dummies 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Less sense when you realize rhinos being in the Middle East during that time period would have been odd
@@CaptainFantastic222 not sure... wasn't there
Like most scams the the Narwhales ivory tusk was often found or snapped off presented to kings for ransom as the legendary horn. However, please refer to one archaeological dig site and pics where an equine with a horn was found.
@@CaptainFantastic222 ? "rhinos being in the Middle East.." the 'Javan' rhino today for one..why is this a stretch for you?
the nights templar when they finished initiation they were called "unbound unicorns" also it was their ymbol on a crest. Unicorn is a symbol of the christ being present way before mentions of it.
Too many think that greece and rome were the first civilizations. Thats where legends and myths with unicorns(horses with a horn and wings) came from. But a true unicorn would have been either a rhino with a single horn, or an animal with a horn that was strong.
Dragons are real too. Now the myths and legends about them, by their poets, may have been embellished and exaggerated, but dragon is a word that describes types of lizards.
This whole unicorn is so misunderstood, but old translation is clear that the rhino, as it is known today, was called unicorn by the people of the past. there is also a topic of a camel passing through the needle eye, and i am always fascinated by responses and the ignorance, they dont know that there is a place in israel called needle eye where you cross side ways and crossing the needle eye with anything bigger than the width of you body is not possible, fat camels struggle to pass, but skinny once came pass through this area
Well yes. If they (the world) can abuse the rainbow they could also abuse the unicorn. 😉🙏
Hi! Thank you for clear definition of unicorns in Bible. My granddaughter loves unicorns and rainbows; has them all over her room, stuffed toys, and clothes. Why is this concerning to me? Because she tells me that unicorns are spirits that guide you. This, in addition to what God’s rainbow has come to mean in recent years in culture, calls for important Biblical teachings of the true meanings of these things at some point. Not so innocent and whimsical after all.
Teach her the truth and pray for her. She's getting false teaching from somewhere.
@@Bigfoottehchipmunk hi do you think it's wrong as a Christian to sell concrete unicorn statue with horn ? Without or with wings ? Statue looks like a horse laying down ? Thanks
@@christinestumpf10 Why are you asking me?
This is usually the word Kent and Ken skip over when ready about dragons. We have known that rhinos have been referred to as unicorns for thousands of years.
Thank you
And all these years I thought the Bible was referring to my little pony. Seriously guys, yall did a great job with this.
Whole time after I heard I was a unicorn 🦄 thought ok that’s cute but now it makes all the sense definitely fits me and what God has planned for my life ❤ #tharealunicorn🦏
They are a little bit more chubby than we expected them but anyway they are still somehow adorable
Thank you for your research!! Rino, cool!!
There is also a deer like animal with one "horn" but it wouldn't be hard to tame and too small to pull a heavy load.
This is a parable of Jesus and the Bride. Jesus gave me this a few years ago and i still get gold out of it. I print it and give it to everyone i can. He is brilliant. Most people want to go to the rhinoceros rapture.
Rhinoceros rapture written down By Laura
God saved all the animals two by two
And put them up in heaven's zoo.
But Rhinoceros was very heavy and large
So the angels left him to wait on mars.
He found that he could fly around in the sky
So he flew to the moon and watched the other animals go by
He had to ask God why oh why do i wait
And God said don't you know that you wait for a mate?
She will be like you and different too
And you both will live with me in heavens zoo
When he saw her floating weightless by
A lady rhinoceros great big and shy
He knew at first sight she was totally gross
and just like him a rhinoceros
She knew she was a muddy dirty thing too
and she would really love him in heavens zoo
And he said she is gross just like me
So he leapt from the moon and went over to see
Past the stars way above was the zoo
And there was room for lots more than two.
The rhinoceros knew so he flew and he flew
and he met his mate at the gate to the zoo.
Isaiah 11, 66:23
Rev 5:13 KJV - 13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Zec 2:4-5, 10-11 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: 5 For I, saith the LORD, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. ... 10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee.
I just got scripture confirmation about the rhinoceros rapture and its a parable of Jesus as well as the rapture of animals
I don’t know if anyone else will understand this but i was wondering if the rhinoceros represented Jesus and it does! so adorable
