It is sufficient to point to the fact that no Bear is found in any Chaldean, Egyptian, Persian, or Indian Zodiacs, and that no bear was ever seen with such a tail!

El Juicio de la Humanidad: Lecciones de los Días de Noé
La humanidad juzgada   Los Días Antes del Diluvio El diluvio fue tan significativo que Jesús usó sus lecciones para enseñar sobre Su segunda venida. Comer y Beber Ten en cuenta que no hubo mención de Dios en sus vidas, solo cosas carnales. Mateo 24:37-44 Pero como en los días de Noé, así será también la venida del Hijo del Hombre. Porque así como en los días antes del diluvio comían y bebían, se casaban y daban en matrimonio, hasta el día en que Noé entró en el arca; y no entendieron hasta que vino el diluvio y los llevó a todos; así será también la venida del Hijo del Hombre.

Moses Striking the Rock
MOSES STRIKING THE ROCK After the Israelites left Egypt they crossed the Red Sea, whose waters divided so that they passed through on dry land. Then they travelled through the wilderness toward Mount Sinai. Passing onward, they wanted water and food; and forgetting the great things God had already done for them, they began to murmur. At a place called Marah they found the water too bitter to drink; so they grumbled, saying to Moses, "What shall we drink?" He asked God; who showed him a tree, which, when cast into the water, made it sweet.
