<\/b>Thanks so much to Charity, a respondant from this blog post<\/a>, for sharing this scripture with me. Although I recall reading the book of Job, somehow, I forgot about the Leviathan chapter. Also, the Leviathan is mentioned in the following scriptures, too:
Psalm 74
Isaiah 27:1
Job 41<\/a><\/p>\n

Job 41 – I’m only emphasizing a few verses. You should read the entire chapter!
1 \u201cCan you draw out Leviathan[a] with a hook,
Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?
….
… 14 Who can open the doors of his face,
With his terrible teeth all around?
… 18 His sneezings flash forth light,
And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
19 Out of his mouth go burning lights;
Sparks of fire shoot out.
20 Smoke goes out of his nostrils,
As from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
21 His breath kindles coals,
And a flame goes out of his mouth.<\/p>\n

It sounds like he’s a large, scaly, frightful dragon-like sea creature. My question is, did this creature really exist or is he just mentioned for symbolic reasons? <\/strong>Charity mentioned that this creature sounds like a dinosaur, and I have to agree with her. <\/p>\n

The leviathan sounds more like a dinosaur than the nephilim, which another blog reader speculated about, stating that she thought nephilim were dinosaurs, but I’ve already stated that I totally disagree with that line of thought. <\/p>\n

So, blog readers, what do you think? Did this fire\/smoke breathing dragon-like sea creature really exist in the deep dark depths of the ocean?<\/strong><\/p>\n
