Whether you believe its God’s word, a historical relic, or a load of hogwash, there’s no doubt that the Bible contains some interesting stuff. Like monsters, for example. All sorts of terrible creatures and mythical beasts can be found in its pages. Like… 10. The Behemoth In Job, one of the Bible’s oldest books, the Behemoth is described as a gigantic, powerful creature that can only be tamed by God. His tail is so large that it ‘moves like a cedar.’ This description has led some Creationists to claim that Behemoth was in fact a Biblical-era dinosaur. However, carbon dating aside, the creature is mentioned as having a navel, which would rule it out as an egg-hatched lizard. In Jewish tradition, the Behemoth is a primal earth-monster, a symbol of chaos. Less imaginative scholars have suggested that the Behemoth is simply a poetic description of a real giant creature, like a hippopotamus.

4. Daniel’s Beasts Like Revelation, the book of Daniel is largely made up of visions which are meant to symbolize real-world events. In one of these visions, Daniel sees no less than four monsters emerge from the sea: one is a lion with eagle’s wings, which is then transformed into a human-like creature and has its wings plucked off; one is a bear-like creature who is told...... more on the article here http://www.soundlala.com/news.php?id=1518 1 Like |

5. The 200 Million Horsemen This epic army also appears in the visions of Revelation, although they’re not to be confused with the far more famous Four Horsemen, the guys who symbolize Death, War, Famine and Pestilence. But these riders aren’t to be messed with, either. Their horses have the heads of lions, tails like serpents, and spit smoke, fire and brimstone out of their mouths. Eventually, they’re responsible for the deaths of a third of all mankind. The horsemen army is led by four fallen angels, which is never good.

6. Abaddon’s Locusts These guys are ruled by Abaddon, an angel of the bottomless pit whose name means ‘Destroyer.’ Because they appear in Revelation, they’re of course not satisfied with being normal locusts: instead, they resemble war horses, have the stinging tails of scorpions, the faces of men, long hair like a woman’s, and wear crowns of gold and armored breastplates. Their scorpion’s tails are used to sting their victims, an experience that’s apparently so painful that ‘men shall seek death, and shall not find it.’ Ouch.

7. Unicorns Unicorns are mentioned nine times in the King James Bible, a medieval translation that remains popular to this day: ‘Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with band in the furrow?’ the book asks. Unfortunately, linguists have since discovered that the Hebrew word re’em, translated as ‘unicorn’ here, actually refers to the aurochs, a distant ancestor of the modern cow which went extinct in the 17th century. Which is a shame, because unicorns are far more interesting than slightly-larger-than-usual cows. In fact, a whole bunch of ‘mythical creatures’ in the King James Bible are simply additions by medieval translators who were more interested in being poetic than in making sure their creatures existed. The cockatrice, a rooster-headed dragon mentioned in the book of Isaiah, has been scaled down in more recent translations to ‘viper.’ Lilith, a female demon, has been downgraded to ‘screech owl’, and mentions of satyrs (half-man, half-goat creatures) have been changed to ‘goats.’ More linguistically accurate, maybe, but nowhere near as fun.

8. The Second Beast This beast, which unsurprisingly follows the first, rises up out of the earth. It has two horns and speaks ‘like a dragon.’ Personally, I’ve never heard a dragon speak, but I imagine it must be scary. This guy’s job is to perform false miracles that encourage people to worship the first beast. It also allows the first beast to kill anyone who doesn’t worship it. Damn. Once again, interpretations are varied: it’s been described as a symbol for everything from the prophet Mohammed to the modern United States.

9. The First Beast If there’s one place that’s good for finding Biblical monsters, it’s the book of Revelation. No one agrees on whether this book of ‘visions’ contains descriptions of future events, or symbolic representations of the past, but everyone agrees that it sure has a lot of monsters. The ‘First Beast’ of Revelation, so called because it’s mentioned first and no one came up with a better name, is a monster with seven heads and ten horns that rises from the ocean. It also features the feet of a bear, the mouth of a lion, and the general appearance of a leopard. Theologians and Biblical scholars have interpreted this beast as symbolizing everything from the Papacy to the 1st Century Roman Emperor Nero.

American actor and producer, Brian Austin Green has confirmed his split from actress Megan Fox after nearly 10 years of marriage and three children together. The "Beverly Hills, 90210" star confirmed the news on his podcast ''With Brian Austin Green," in an episode titled “Context.” Brain said he and Megan are "trying to sort of be apart" after they became more distant when Fox was working out of the country for roughly five weeks shooting a film last year. He went on to explain that since the end of 2019, they had been spending more time apart. "Neither one of us did anything to each other," he clarified. "She's always been honest with me. I've always been honest with her. We've had an amazing relationship." I will always love her,” Green continued on his podcast. “And I know she will always love me and I know as far as a family, what we have built is really cool and really special.” He said both of them will “still do family vacations and holidays as a family and really make that a focus for the kids.” Addressing Megan's new relationship rumors with Machine Gun Kelly, Green says that rapper has come up in talks with he and Megan but that “they’re just friends at this point … I don’t want people to think her or he are villains or that I was a victim in any way.” Back in 2015, Fox filed for divorce but the pair reconciled the following year and she dismissed her divorce case in 2019. Fox, 33, and Green, 46, who had been married for almost ten years after getting together in 2004, have three sons Noah, 7, Bodhi, 6, and Journey, 3.

There was a time in ID Cabasa‘s history when he couldn’t afford rent, and he and his family had to move into his studio. The ace producer shared on this on an Instagram live session with Bouqui. Cabasa shared how a particularly difficult moment served as a springboard to become who he is today. It’s an inspiring story that’s perfect for a Saturday morning: There was a time I was looking for house rent yet I gave money to two people for their kids’ school fees. Then, a certain guy came to me asking for transport fare and I told him that I would help him get money from some other folks in church. I started asking around but that day, I could not get money for the guy. I was so shocked when the next day, the guy wrote an epistle about me on Facebook, saying I was a very bad person, with all the....... more on the story here http://www.soundlala.com/news.php?id=1509

Celebrity bodyguard, Steve Sanulis, has revealed some of the ‘ridiculous rules’ rapper and fashion entrepreneur Kanye West made him observe while he worked for him. Steve, who became a celebrity bodyguard after working as a stripper and a policeman, opened up about some of the demands Kanye asked of him saying some of Ye’s demands didn’t make much sense. Speaking on the Hollywood Raw podcast with Dax Holt and Adam Glyn, Steve said: ‘He wanted you to stay 10 paces behind him on a city street. So obviously if someone is going to come up and do something, by the time I try to run up and prevent it, it would have already happened.’ Steve revealed how his first day on the job working for Kanye started on the wrong footing. He explained: ‘The first day I met him…it was fashion week. I was supposed to meet him at the studio. ‘When he gets there, we get into the elevator and he’s says “Aren’t you going to push what floor we are going to?” ‘I was like “I have no idea what floor, it’s my first day. So he starts ranting, So you mean you didn’t call ahead to find out where I’m supposed to be going?. I said “no”. So he’s ranting and raving. So I said “Look bro, we can do this one of three ways. One, you could tell me what button to press, and now I’ll know. Two, you could press the button, and I’ll see which one you press so I’ll know. Or three, you can sit in here all day and tell me how important your time is and we are not going to go anywhere.” ‘Again, that was our first interaction. He went for the first option.’ Steve also revealed he suspects Kanye and his wife Kim Kardashian would call the paparazzi on themselves. ‘First of all, there’s no way [paparazzi] doesn’t get called upfront. There’s no way every time they are leaving, all these people know about it. ‘There’s definitely somebody calling ahead. That’s just my opinion… I’m just saying it coincidental that wherever we are, they’re always there. Maybe they’re just better than I think they are.’ 4 Likes |
