But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn.
In the equivalent verse in the King James (Ps. 92:10) we read:But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn.
In reading such passages, you might think, what on earth does that mean? In these cases, the horn is being used as a symbol of strength or vigor. The Psalmist is saying that thanks to God, I'm going to be given a lot of strength and vigor, so praise God.Fine, but what's this stuff about unicorns? I, mean does this mean unicorns are real?
In this video we go to the heart of the matter and reveals the startling truth about what the Bible might be referring to in these passages.
We also look at how the word "unicorn" got into these passages in the first place and what ancient but real creature the translators may have been referring to. (Unless you've heard this before, it can come as a real surprise.

Whenever I listen to anything from Jimmy, I think to myself, “Well, that’s about all you can say about that!”. Great work!
...there are unicorns in the bible for the same reason in the Old Testament there are talking donkeys!
The bible, OT & NT are just myths based on other myths!
Thomas Jefferson said…“there will come a day when the belief in a savior coming out of the womb of a virgin, is as credible as Minerva coming out of the head of Jupiter!”
Thomas Paine said…“this Jesus Christ was a copy of the ancient Egyptian mystery religions-He didn’t exist!”
and last ......but not least
“No one knows if this Jesus Christ existed, and if did, NOTHING is known about him!” Bertrand Russell
in “Why I am not a christian” 1928
Mike, there was a “historical” Jesus. He did exist. As for the rest of your attack, I can find at least an equal number of quotes from intellectuals, scientists, authors, historians and so on who do/did believe in Jesus - but what would that prove? That opinions differ. Duh!
But thanks for taking a few minutes of your valuable time to come to a religious website and flaunt your superior intellect at everyone. Rest assured we are suitably impressed.
One wonders why someone with Mikes stated beliefs would to a Catholic site to state his professed faith of no Jesus ever existing.
It’s either a need to express his superiority and to correct “us”, or there is something tugging at his heart he can’t quite wrap his mind around.
Keep seeking Mike, but remember to listen and be open to hearing the answers. Praying for you Brother.
Could the unicorn be an allusion to Moses and his profession of belief in the One God?
Very interesting and it basically reminds us that we are reading versions that have been translated and retranslated from many different languages. Thank you for posting this video.
I don’t believe “Mike” really exists. He seems to be a construct of various ancient, anti-God philosophies. There is no evidence that he is an actual person. The above post labeled “Mike” could have been invented by anyone. “Mike” is only a myth, so don’t worry about it.
In order to register a plausible argument for the non-existence of Jesus, it is necessary to go to a Catholic website and locate an article tracing the use of the word unicorn in the Bible. This proves that it takes all kinds.
From one Tom to another, good reply to Mike. The comments from “Mike” don’t even raise a ripple (we have heard them all before) and I agree, I too will pray for Mike to keep an open mind and heart and to help him find the answers he seeks.
So do any of you believe that unicorns exist or existed in the Bronze Age?
There is simply no evidence for unicorns in the natural history of the earth. Its simply a mythical creature, not unlike a Yeti in recent local yore.
Hey Jimmy,
Really interesting stuff. I’ve been interested in paleontology for a very long time, most specifically antediluvian civilization and how it relates to the accounts in Genesis. As I was listening to your description of the ancient understanding of a unicorn, I think that more than the modern rhinoceros, the Elasmotherium better fits the description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasmotherium

********************
Actually the answer to your question is “maybe.”
I remember reading about experiments where the horn “buds” of sheep, goats,etc were moved & grafted together to grow into a single horn/unicorn & apparently that may have been practised in ancient times.The animals which had the “unicorn” seemed to be more likely to be the herd “leaders.”
Just thought that was interesting trivia.

Mike,
Did you post Bertrand Russel’s quote in another blog? I guess this is maybe the 3rd time now I’ve heard his name mentioned.He was trendy back in my daddy’s time but I didn’t realize folks still read him.
Maybe Mike is really a unicorn in disguise!
Tom & FemEagle, you are too cool for words!
Perhaps jefferson and paine never existed….all we have is written records, and that seems to be inadequate in the case of Jesus(not to mention thousands of eye witnesses)...as for russel, he was certainly smarter than me , but that has nothing to do with knowledge of God. I don’t know who their mothers were, but that doesn’t take away their existence. BTW is it that hard to suppose a small population of single horned hoofed animals patroled the area some centuries ago? As for fossils, evolutionists don’t have any transitions fossils and it hasn’t stopped them…
Unicorns? Why not? Full disclosure: my high school’s mascot was the unicorn and our drill team girls were the “Monoceras”. Seriously, unicorns as portrayed in art are really beautiful creatures. Why wouldn’t God have made some?
People, such as Mike, who embrace their atheist beliefs with a passion refuse to believe in God/Christ unless we can show proof beyond a shadow of a doubt. When people, such as Mike, are asked to show proof that there is no God/Christ they can not, but they will reply by telling us that the burden of proof is on those that believe. To top it all off though, they will troll the internet looking for the slightest chance for a place to post their ignorant hate.
Hi Jimmy,
Check out the protein power life plan by Eades. You can probably find it at your local library. God bless.
The legend/myth of the unicorn goes all the way back to Noah’s Ark. The one animal that was left behind, that’s why there are no unicorns. Just listen to The Unicorn by the Irish Rovers.
en las biblias que ud comenta efectivamente trae la palabra cuerno, pero tenga en cuenta que ellas son de interpretación dudosas, la Reina Valera es con una tendencia modernista rayando el protestantismo y la otra directamente es protestante, así que no son de fiar, le recomiendo una biblia más creible , que yo en lo personal creo que una de las mejores en el mundo, es la de Mons. DR. Juan Sraubinger, ella está traducida en forma directa de los textos primitivos , y allí en el salmo 90-11 dice: tú exaltaste mi fuerza como la de un bisonte, me has ungido con aceite nuevo. y en la explicación dice literalmente cuerno, refiriendosé a la fuerza, pero no habla de unicornios, dice bisonte
