Does it say in the Bible?

That the Eagle and Bear will rise against the Dragon (or Serpeant)? Someone I know once said this is symbolic of the United States (Bald Eagle) and Russia (Bear) rising against China (Dragon) in a WWIII type war.

Does it say in the Bible?
After reading all the answers before mine, I am amazed at the people who answer this question without any knowledge of the Bible at all. How can you answer without ever reading, let alone studying, the Bible? It's downright dangerous and reveals ones ignorance. This text is clearly Nostradamus. It is not in the Bible, and the book of Revelation (the last book in the Bible) is a symbolic book of eschatology (end times). It was written by the Apostle John while exiled on the the Island of Patamos, NOT John the Baptist!





According to Nostradamus the Eagle represents the United States and the Bear is Russia. The quatrains have proved unreliable since most all of the interpretations and predicted dates have gone by as false and unfulfilled.
Reply:well mostly the dragon is the symbol of the devil so i am not sure i would have to see the actual context as that book is full of symbolish as it is the dream of john the baptist.
Reply:yes people have said that but during the cold war they left out the Dragon part and said the Eagle will take down the Bear. So you see it keeps getting reinterpreted for every age.
Reply:This is kinda nutty. It also says that it is okay to keep slaves. Ignore both of these things. Heck, go ahead and ignore the whole damn thing. Unless you need help in figuring out how to be nice to other people.
Reply:Sounds like the wrong interpretation.

yeah, it is interesting topic.
Reply:This is one of Nostradamus's quatrains. It's not in the bible.





Search Nostradamus at the historychannel.com





These quatrains are not predictions. No one has ever avoided catastrophe by finding a quatrain and saying "Look, here. If you don't wear purple socks today, then France will melt into a steaming pile of cheese." You have to look back at historical events and then tie Nostradaums's "predictions" into what happened.
Reply:Funny, I read the bible from cover to cover and never saw anything like that in it.
Reply:It's in Revelations 4:7
Reply:Look in the book of Revelation--the last book in the Bible--it's full of interesting symbols and things. You can go to www.biblegateway.com to search for that stuff.
Reply:i dont think its in the bible. but maybe. i dont recall reading that. but the bible is big, so I might have just forgoten a part. lol
Reply:i will ask my paster and get back with you
Reply:It represents the country as powerful as that particular animal compares to, at the time it is predicted to take place. I dont know what the future holds economically or powerfully, but I bet by the time we get there, it will all seem clear in the book :)





Just be on the winning team... skip to the answers at the very end ;)
Reply:I don't think so. but if it does it will be in Revelations ( it has that type of stuff). i doubt it has anything to do with World War though.
Reply:Check out the end of Revelation 12 and the beginning of 13.
Reply:I've never seen that in my Bible. If you are interested in Bible prophecy and current events... email me.

Reply:Well i didn't notice about the eagle and Bear rise against the Dragon that showed in the bible. However i read the Daniel in the bible, it talks about the eagle,etc....Read Daniel and Revelation that will tell you everything clear.They excatly tell you the truth than someone told you because that person may be misunderstood. Smile
Reply:anything written 2000 yrs ago in another language and translated a couple times in symbolic language is not really meant to be taken literally in our lives.
Reply:It would be my guess he's describing something out of the biblical book of Revelations (last book of the new testament). This book does contains prophesies of upcoming events such as Jesus' return, though not everything in this book need be a prophesy. Remember, the author was writing to seven churches in europe. He may have just as easily been describing political figures in the day and time, much like we would describe the "donkeys for republicans".





A good source to check out would be www.biblegateway.com to read about the book and what these "code words" could mean. Be it prophesy or other.
Reply:I think that might be nostradamus.
Reply:NO, the only time eagle or bear type creatures are used as symbols in the Bible is in the book of Daniel, and there is no mention of a dragon there. the dragon in the Bible is used exclusively as a symbol for the devil and nothing else.
Reply:I checked with BibleGateway.com because I have never heard of that being in the Christian Bible and I've read three different version of it. I have, however, heard that a scripture similar to that one is listed in the Qur'an, but according to Bible Gateway, there is no scripture in any version of the Christian Bible with the words "Eagle" and "Bear" in the same scripture (unless you count Deuteronomy 32:11 of the KJV version that says "As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings"). Therefore, I'm inclined to believe that it does not, in fact, exist within the Christian Bible.
Reply:No.. that is not written en the Bible, it was Nostradamus in his famous Prophecies who had that vision. And if i´m ok he was nos speaking about ww3, ha was announcing that two great armies will be needed to defeat at the powerful dragon... Read about Nostradamus its very interesting.... PS: Sorryh if i´m not writingwell , i´m from Mexico and obviously its not my first language
