Hello iktoose, Conjecture is conjecture. What the Scriptures say is what the Scriptures say. Anything not written or explained in Scriptures is pure speculation. For all we know it could be an animal that has been extinct for many many years. Myths of dragons usually have some basis of truth to them, but to interject those myths into Scripture is not rightly dividing the Word of Truth. They are speculation and result in getting your mind off the focus of Truth. As Paul said, 1Co 13:12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." Let it be said that it is some kind of creature. But as powerful as it is as stated, it cannot compare to the awesomeness of its Creator, which is the whole point. This is not to put you off; it is just that the Scriptures do not define this creature with our understanding of today. Back then; some centuries and centuries ago, it most likely made perfect sense for those at that time. With all our knowledge we boast about today and pride ourselves in, some things are still a mystery. by Grace, eklektos |

3 | is it animal? | Job | iktoose | 155115 | ||
Hi eklektos, Thanks for your note. You got me interested and I looked up the word "leviathan," got the following verses: Job 3:8 May those curse it who curse the day, Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan. Job 41:1 “Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower? Psalm 74:14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness. Psalm 104:26 There the ships sail about;There is that Leviathan Which You have made to play there. Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with His severe sword, great and strong, Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan that twisted serpent; And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea. It is very interesting to know the animal has more than one head (Psalm 74:14), some sort of serpent (Isaiah 27:1), and sea-living creature (Psalm 104:26). And I also found many instances of the word "dragon" in both old and new testaments. Now I know that leviathan and dragon are two different beasts. So let me take back my previous assumption of calling "leviathan" dragon. iktoose |
