i was just wondering what other people's interpretations were about the Cryptids mentiioned in the bible?
my favorite is a reference to Mokolo-Mbembe, or at least that is how i see it.
Job 40:15-24
15Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. 17He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 19He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him. 20Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. 23Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 24He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
IMO this clearly states that there was some sort of living brontosaur/apotosaur (forgive my ignorace of the proper term. is it sauropod?) in the time of job. i am a fan of crytozoology, and think that this is a bible statement in reference to mokolo-mbembe, at teh very least living at the same time as man.

Only two requests and then I'll release it:
  1. Give your own interpretation of the passage.
  2. Put around the numbers in the passage so they look like this: 15. You can click on the peek button to see how I did this.
