    I like this one, but I'm not sure i have it right.

    Isaiah, chapter 59

    "5": They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
    Help me brothers, what is a cockatrice? It seems to be a lizard chicken?
    I want to learn more and be a scholar, but this one has me stumped.
    Matthew:
    5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
    5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
    10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
    10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

    "The cockatrice is a mythological creature with the body of a dragon or serpent, and the head and legs of a rooster. According to myth, they are the product of a rooster egg (a rare thing indeed!) hatched by a serpent or toad. A magical creature, it can kill with a glance, and its breath is poisonous. The terms "cockatrice" and "basilisk" are usually used interchangeably."


    Some other mentions of the cockatrice in Scripture:


    Isaiah 11:7-9
    7And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
    8And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
    9They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.


    Isaiah 14:28-30
    28In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
    29Rejoice not thou, whole Palestina, because the rod of him that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a cockatrice, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
    30And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety: and I will kill thy root with famine, and he shall slay thy remnant.




    Jeremiah 8:17
    17For, behold, I will send serpents, cockatrices, among you, which will not be charmed, and they shall bite you, saith the LORD.
    II Thessalonians 1:7-9
    And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
    In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
    Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power
    The man who is being progressively sanctified will inescapably sanctify his home, school, politics, economics, science, and all things else by understanding and interpreting all things in terms of the Word of God and by bringing all things under the Dominion of Christ the King. -R.J. Rushdoony

      I believe it would be the Western term for what the Chinese call a dragon. Of course we know that real dragons looked a lot different.

        They were rare even back then, as rooster eggs hatched by toads have a very low rate of viability. According to paleotheist colleagues of mine, the last known cockatrice died in 1173 in Venice, Italy. Here is what they looked like:

          Nothing 'mythical' about it at all. As you quoted yourself, it is in the Bible. Here is a picture of one from Goodman's Bestiary (1642, Landover Press)

                No, no! A dragon and a cockatrice are completely different, God mentions dragons AND cockatrices. This is akin to saying a behemoth and a unicorn are the same thing.

                      Looking at the pictures that have been supplied, I am obviously wrong. I guess it's just two different breeds of dragon.

                        Brother, I believe I'm going to have to disagree with you. The Bible never describes a unicorn and that picture comes from wizardry, so it can't be trusted. There were some people who claimed to "breed unicorns" but they were just taking goats and moving the horn nub when it was only a couple of days old.

                        I'm thinking that theres' a very good chance that all of these creatures were dinosaurs.

                        For example a cockatrice = feathered dinosaur


                        dragon = pterodactyl


                        unicorn = styracosaurus


                        behemoth = brontosaurus

                          I don't know about the styracosaurus being a unicorn, Psalm 29:6 says,
                          "He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn."

                          Now, I've never seen a styracosaurus skip, but I have seen a calf skipping around. Although the Bible doesn't specifically describe a unicorn we know that David says in Psalm 22:21, "Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns." This suggests that the unicorn horn could be made into a horn, probably not unlike other shofars. I think it's significant that unicorns are often mentioned with cattle. Perhaps describing it as a horselike creature is also incorrect. Who knows.

                            You are correct, I don't think a styracosaurus is capable of skipping.

                            Perhaps a parasaurolophus?


                            These could skip, and the horn is hollow so it could be used to make a noise. It's also much more horse like.

                            My older boys are just gangbusters about dinosaurs right now, so we're studying how many could fit into the ark with all the other animals. One person on here brought up eggs (sorry I forget who it was) so now we're studying how Noah could of kept them warm. It's fascinating.

                              I thought that dinosaurs were just something made up by the scientists to 'disprove' the existence of God(?).
