Transcript
Did you know there are unicorns in the Bible? Not the mythical creatures we think of today—these were real animals the Bible describes alongside dogs, horses, and calves. They’re given as examples of great strength. Now, if they were just legendary creatures, the point would’ve been completely lost. So unicorns were real—but what exactly were they?
Well, one strong possibility is an extinct variety of rhinoceros. Such a creature would be strong, powerful, and only have one horn!
Whatever the unicorn was, we know it was a real creature that teaches us about the power and strength of the Creator of all things.
