We initially released Chaos Dragon in November 2023. Our team has chosen to repost it here after discovering that we were unable to trim the premiere content from the original video. Everything else about the video remains unchanged. Thank you for watching!
Narrated by Ryan Reynolds and some other guy.
P.S. love the animation
The dragon represents or is Satan
my question is how is dragon created ….Because only angels were fallen
I want to please God but i dont know if how to train your dragon is good or bad
So the dragon is the will of evil? Dragon is a personification of what evil was. Jesus defeated this evil everywhere he stepped. Cool 😎
Satan is sometimes referred to as a red dragon with 7 heads.
Satan is connected to arch angels and snakes.
But that doesn’t necessarily make those evil alone.
So perhaps Good dragons exist in heaven?
Just a theory.
Either way it would be cool if they did.
"Jesus trusted God's power" WHAT!? JESUS IS FULLY HUMAN AND FULLY GOD! HE KNEW WHAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN!
Dragons = Dinosaurs
If God created the world to be good, why was there "chaos" even before Adam and Eve? His creation was supposed to be perfect.
This is the problem with metaphores, people begin telling them to small kids without elaborating what a methaphore, which leads to indoctrination and later as adults they believe in fairy tales which make them prone to manipulation. Dangerous game for millenias…
So let me get this right. Are you saying Jews picked the dragon metaphor because it was a common theme of the past and that's why they are in the Bible?
The title of this video is pretty misleading since there are actual depictions of dragons in the Bible for instance in Job. What a lot of people don’t know is that dragon and dinosaur are familiar terms and dinosaur was not used until the 1800s if I’m not mistaken. Before that humans called these beast “dragons”. However, besides all of that the details and the story of satan being a dragon and Christ’s sacrifice and triumph over the dragon is very true.
Doesn't the Hebrew also describe the Seraphims as "Fiery Serpents" sounds like a dragon to me
I feel like i heard Jordan Peterson talking about this, it comes from the ancient sumeriyan or older legends after the events of noahs ark. But i just wanted to say that yes some are illustrations but that in many places the Bible talks about them as real creatures. So i wish yall would kind of correct this video and show that dinosaurs and man lived together at one point and that "dragons" were a real part of human history.
The amazing thing is when you know this vídeo is not talking about dragons
This reminds me of that movie Beowulf
And what one finds out, when studying these tales/stories/myths, are all made up, just like religion is as a whole
Beautiful video. Clickbaity title
My bother had a dream where he was in the dark in the ocean and when he turned around he saw gigantic eyes watching him for the deep then they disappeared then a snake like tale were the eyes where.
I love the bible project. Have for years. such amazing content. But i have to say that I have some problems with this video. primarily the notion that dragons are only depicted metaphorically in scripture. This is not the case and easily proven incorrect. I may be misunderstanding this video but they seem to allude to dragons in many ways in which I don't think they are referenced in scripture. Certainly there are examples of them used metaphorically in revelation and Daniel, but the creatures described in job are not being depicted metaphorically. They are being described as actual creatures. And this is easy to know with certainty. I would love more clarity on what the guys at the bible project believe regarding this. Either way they have wonderful, educational and spiritually healthy content IMO.
You know another thing about biblical dragons is that there is tons of evidence that they were dinosaurs
Isaiah clearly state the existence of dragons, not just in a metophorical sense
How true and profound!
there where no dragons in the bible dragon back then actually means dinosaur
The monsters in Daniel's vision did come from the sea! And can't believe that David using Goliath's sword could have been foreshadowing!
Hello, does anyone know the reference in Bible where it says that the dragon slayer would be offered the power of the dragon? Thank you!
