5 Minutes, 5 Questions With…
Patricia A. Thomas, author of God Reveals a Mystery!
(iUniverse Publishing)
Have you ever wondered what REALLY happened to the dinosaurs? Were dinosaurs here millions of years ago? How does the dinosaur’s demise tie into the Evolution Theory?
Did you know that the name “dinosaur” was made-up in 1842? Is China right by saying that the fossils really belong to the dragons’? Are dragons real? Did you know that the names “dragon” and “serpent” mean the same thing in Greek and both words are recorded in the Holy Bible?
Can the answer to this “great mystery” be found in the book of Genesis, in the Garden of Eden? What are God’s true answers to these questions?
Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write God Reveals a Mystery!?
Patricia A. Thomas: God first opened my spiritual eyes to the truth and spoke this revelation knowledge to me concerning the demise of the “dinosaur”. From that, I wrote a poem with the foundation being that the name “dinosaur” was coined or made-up in 1842 and according to Genesis 2:20.
The Adam-given real animal’s name is “serpent” or “dragon” (both names mean the same thing in Greek) and that they still exist- in its cursed form according to Genesis 3:14. Later on, I wrote a manuscript. Then, I published my book to share with others.
JP: Few books, if any, bring together the lore of dragons and the doctrine of Christianity. What has been your experience in addressing dragons in this context?
PT: My experience with using the holy scriptures of the Bible, with talking about dragons or serpents, has been easy, because it’s in there.
With the doctrine of Christianity, there are many holy scriptures that we overlook and misinterpret. However, with me magnifying key scriptures in my book, it has challenged those who read my book to take a second look at what The Holy Bible states about the origin of the dragon or serpent, physically and spiritually.
As stated, my primary focus deals with the curse of the dragon or serpent in Genesis 3:14 that explains God’s answer to what really happened to this animal. I refute the lies of demise of the “dinosaur”, which is a made-up name given to this animal in 1842 that has strengthened the Evolution Theory.
God’s true answer has always been here and it’s found in the holy scriptures.
JP: As an author, what are the keys to your success that led to God Reveals a Mystery! getting out to the public?
PT: The only source for my success has been God, because it is His time for us to know the absolute truth. With using love and integrity, I have been able to network with all types of people who believe in my book and some of them were excited about telling others.
I am forever grateful to God that He is allowing my book to grow and I am expecting great things!
JP: As an author, what is your writing process? How long did it take you to start and finish God Reveals a Mystery!?
PT: As an author, my writing process is the same as me being a minister, which is to convey words and messages to people with speaking “Truth To Power” in simple and easy terms to invoke my readers and listeners to study for themselves. It took me approximately 2 months to write God Reveals a Mystery!
JP: What’s next for Patricia A. Thomas?
PT: My goal is to continue to do God’s will, which is to push my true book, with using love to challenge people to research and examine what they have read or been told. I will also continue to be an advocate against The Evolution Theory being taught to our priceless youth in the public school system.
I had an upcoming interview with Ohio’s Call & Post Newspaper about my book, and I have been invited by The Firm of Columbus to an Author Discussion Panel to share my wisdom with potential authors to “Get In The Know” about the publishing world, which will also give me another opportunity to push my book to new people.

Patricia I haven’t read your book, but I commend your efforts to look deeper into the bible.
However, the first ever prophecy in the bible at Gen 3:14 happens right after Adam and Eve sinned. This was the curse put upon Satan that also includes verse 15 of Gen chapter 3.
Also at Exodus 4:2-4,
2 And the LORD said unto him, What [is] that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
3 And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.
4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand
Moses grabbed the serpent by the tail in Exedous and then:
Numbers 21: 9 (And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.)
Moses made a serpent of brass and put it on a pole.
2 Kings 18:4 (He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.),
The serpent was broke into pieces.
Isaiah 65:25 Micah 7;17, Matthew 10:16 and 23:33, and John 3:14 the serpent is mentioned.
In several scriptures the serpent is a literal serpent or an image of one.
Serpents are still in existence today.
The dragon is mentioned primarily in Revelation. Specifically Revelation 12:7 refers to Michael the archangel and his angels battling with the dragon and his angels. The dragon didn’t prevail. There was no longer a place found for him in Heaven.
There were no dinosaurs in Heaven. They were creatures here on the Earth. Revelation 12:9 explains, “And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”
The serpent of Gen 3:14 and the Dragon of Revelation 12:9 are the same. Here referred to as “that old serpent”. The original one.
Revelation chapters 20-22 talks about the eventual outcome for Satan as well as this world.
So starting with Gen 3:14 the first prophecy Satan the devil, the original serpent, the one referred to as a dragon received his judgment and the end of the bible refers to God’s fulfillment of that prophecy.
There is really no mystery. God put it plainly in the bible for all to read. I hope that is what your book brings to light as the understanding of the serpents role in the bible is imperative to man’s future.
Dear Concerned Bible Reader:
Thank you for your honesty that you have not read my book, God Reveals a Mystery! Some of what you have written is in my book and more, along with some of it in my book video presentation. My book’s mystery is that the DNA will match from the cursed dragon’s/serpent’s spine (bone) and the pre-cursed dragon’s or serpent’s fossils, which is NOT extinct but still in existence today; and is known by many today as snakes. This “DNA mystery” is not in the Holy Bible or any other book in the world, but mine and I was lead to this truth by the Holy Spirit (John 16:19).
My book’s thesis is about the physical and spiritual dragon, serpent of old, devil or Satan (Revelation 12:9 and 20:2).
Based on what you wrote, you know that the devil and dragon are the same LITERALLY, but many don’t, which can be eye-witnessed by reading books, watching Christian TV programs, attending most churches, etc. God has not opened their eyes to understand/comprehend the scriptures concerning this (Luke 24:45), as He has so graciously done for you, I, and others.
