I would like some insight on Behemoth and Leviathan mentioned in the book of Job. Reading through chapters 40 and 41, these beasts are described as humongous and fearsome. No man could ever hope to capture them. I'm wondering if they were dinosaurs, one a land creature and the other aquatic. And if so, were these creatures roaming the earth in Job's lifetime? I'd appreciate any information, please.

Also, I've often wondered if the infamous Loch Ness monster was really a Leviathan creature. :eek:

Does a Greenland whale snort smoke, have scales that are tremendously sharp and skin that's impenetrable?

Are you talking about the Loch Ness monster or Leviathan?
Leviathan is the prince of the abstract

I was quoting Job chapter 41 regarding Leviathan. I don't think a whale could be described as such even abstractly.

I truly appreciate your input, Leon, but you lost me there... :confused: In Psalm 74:14 it refers to Leviathan as a food source for other animals. Isaiah 27 also eludes to it as a creature that twists in the sea.

He is a prince of 'Hell', the use of the name Leviathan is the same as the use of the name Behemoth.
eg. You see a really fat person and say "what a behemoth!"

Get your Abramelin on!

Can't see youtube here at work, you know, firewall and all but there are those who have supposedly calculated the return of Christ to be 2028.

Dagon the fish god was morphed into dragon. Dagon being one of hundreds of names for Nimrod. The spread of idolatry stemming from Semiramus and Nimrod onward throughout the whole world unto this hour. The force behind all the gods and goddesses being satan. Leviathan is satan metaphorically. Opinion. He swims the sea of mankind holding them in darkness.

Leviathan is a similitude of the Red Dragon in the sea of humanity...aka Satan...aka...Serpent...aka Devil.

Isaiah 27:1
In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
