When the word of God came to Malachi it was mostly about how the naughty Jews were going to be punished and how the world would be burned someday to kill all the wicked. God did say something cool to Malachi that teaches us a lot about the history of the earth and supports the fact that the Earth is only 6,000 years old.
God said to Malachi, “Hey you remember Abraham’s grandkids, Jacob and his brother Esau? Well, I just loved Jacob to death. Esau though; that’s a different story. I hated that stupid rat-bastard. I hated him so much that I destroyed his mountains and all his land. I jacked up the area where his descendants lived so badly that only dragons could live there.”
That’s right: dragons. Most of the English translations floating around nowadays use the phrase “desert jackals” in place of “dragons of the wilderness,” but that’s just silly. In Latin, the phrase is “dracones deserti.” Dracones doesn’t mean jackals. It means dragons.
Because we love the bible AND science lets work this out together: the only dragons still around today are Komodo Dragons, but because they only live on a couple of Indonesian islands it’s unlikely that God had them displace Esau’s descendants in the Near East. The only bones anyone ever finds that seem all dragonish are what we call “dinosaur bones.” This is an obvious misnomer. They are actually dragon bones and are not from millions of years ago. Dragons were created by God at the same time as all the other animals and were still around in great numbers in 430 BC when God was talking to Malachi about them.
Still believe in evolution? Suck on this!
