All creatures great and small...
In Luke 18:25 the Bible tells us it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. The animals of the earth have played a vital role in shaping our existence.
Genesis 1:21 - And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Asp
(Heb. pethen), Deuteronomy 32:33; Job 20:14, 16; Isaiah 11:8. It was probably the Egyptian cobra (Naja haje), which was very poisonous (Romans 3:13; Gr. aspis). The Egyptians worshipped it as the uraeus, and it was found in the desert and in the fields. The peace and security of Messiah's reign is represented by the figure of a child playing on the hole of the asp. (See ADDER.)
