ANSWERS

WHO IS LEVIATHAN?
Job 41:1 speaks of a creature that seems unreal. He is a fierce monster, with scales. He can breath fire. No man can match his strength. And no weapon can harm him. Who is Leviathan?
Well, if we use the "standard" method of studying the Bible, we will find some pretty silly answers. Take STRONG'S CONCORDANCE for instance lists 3 other references for leviathan. They are: Ps 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Ps 104:26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
Isa 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. Now these verses are the only verses in the Bible that use the word "leviathan". I can gather from these verses that he lives in the sea and is like a "serpent" and called the "dragon in the sea" If we use the mainstream standard of studying this is all you get. You would assume that leviathan is some giant sea creature that torments ships. This unfortunately, is where all the "scholars" stop. I have seen some commentaries say Leviathan is a hippo! Where is that verse?
Well, when you want to know God's answer, you can usually discard the "scholars", for they are as blind as a bat when it comes to the scriptures! God wants you to find the answer for yourself. Don"t let some moron do your thinking for you. Get in the "book" and study to shew thyself approved! Did you notice in the Isaiah reference God used the words "crooked serpent"and "dragon"( is it coming to you yet?) Look over in revelation 12:9. It says" 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." You see? See how God works? He talks to us through His Word. That was a blessing. I got goosebumps just writing the post. I hope it was a blessing for you to see how easy the Bible is to understand.
LEVIATHAN IS SATAN!
