Animals
fly in Isaiah 30
FLY
This creature shows up in Isaiah 30:6: “The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Isaiah 30:6
“The burden of the animals of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, of the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches on the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to an unprofitable people.”
What kids can learn
When you hear fly in Isaiah, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Isaiah 30:6 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
