The King James version of the bible mentions unicorns nine times (Numbers 23:22; 24:8; Deuteronomy 33:17; Job 39:9,10; Psalm 22:21; 29:6; 92:10; Isaiah 34:7). The actual animal is the oryx, a magnificent white horse-like creature with two long, straight horns. When an oryx stands sideways his horns are so perfectly aligned as to appear as one. It was hunted almost to extinction in the nineteenth century. Thought it was interesting to share......

I remember when the Ringling Bros. and Barnum 'n Bailey's circus declared that they had the world's last "real" unicorn...and it was nothing more but a little Shetland pony with a single horn GLUED to the stop of his head! I think that the animal rights people nearly RIOTED when they learned of this...
I believe unicorns existed. I look at it this way. From the many people that talked about unicorns in the bible, or witnessed them...or made references to them--the animal couldn't have been turned to the side the ENTIRE time....ya know? Just like the Behemoth, and Leviathan. I believe they existed. God just took 'em away for one reason or another...
Or man did.

I just wanted to share something I have believed about unicorns. Not that I'm right but just something I tend to see of a spiritual nature. I see in the old testament where sometimes the messengers are referred to as "like horses" and such. I have also noticed a horn to be as a voice. When I see a unicorn as a horse with one horn then I tend to see that preachers, messengers of God and even the saints of God should have one voice. Kind of how the word says there is one Lord, one faith and one baptism and how it says we should all speak the same thing. If we all had the same voice it would mean that we all spoke the same thing by that one Spirit. Anyway, I'm through with sharing what I see in this. May God bless, Tiff
