The Leviathan

[Guest Stormy Monday]

                                                                                                              The Leviathan
Strong’s says the leviathan is,
“figuratively, the constellation of the dragon; also as a symbol of Babylon:—leviathan, mourning.”

What does this creature represent in the end-times?  Is it a literal or mythical creature? This creature seems to represent the Babylonians of the last days, the dragon, the serpent (who is Satan), and some other end-time entity.  The two heads of the Leviathan may represent the two major sects of Islam, and/or Mecca and Medina.  I say this creature is the offspring of Islam, i.e. “Babylon the Great” inspired by Satan.

Psalms 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

The wilderness is the desert. The heads of the Leviathan could be Mecca and Medina, or the Sunni and Shia sects of Islam.  It sounds as if when Christ returns, they will dismantle the mosques and possibly use the material to build homes in the desert?  Just a thought!

Job lived some 2,700 years ago and is using the only terminology available to him at that time, to describe 'air born' weapons some 2,700 years in the future.  

"When it rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before its thrashing. The sword that reaches it has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin."

Dart means in verse 26....

quarry, quarrying, breaking out (of stones) missile, dart

"The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon."

In verse 29 the word dart is a different word and the only place the word is used in the OT. It means...

a weapon perhaps a club or mace. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

Job 41:28-29 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.In that passage,

In Isaiah 27:1 the prophecy about the leviathan is yet future for it is destroyed by the Lord.

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." 

For behold, the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain. (Isaiah 26:21)

The word Leviathan is used 5-6 times in the bible.

Gesenius says about the leviathan in Isaiah 27:1,

"Leviathan is the symbol of the hostile kingdom of Babylon."  He says in Job 38 it's "a serpent of a larger kind." Gesenius also says the Leviathan is a "larger than normal serpent and attached to Babylon." In Psalm 74:14 Leviathan is used to describe a fierce enemy.

Leviathan is associated with a serpent and a dragon indicating its evil nature. The L in ISIL stands for, 'leviathan.'

The leviathan; An end-time entity.

Isaiah 26:20-21 "Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast."

"For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain."

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."

God has not come out of His place yet to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. IN THAT DAY, is always an indicator of the last days when the verses just before it also hint that way. This chapter speaks of the time around the Day of the LORD and the Millennial Kingdom that follows.

If Leviathan would have nothing to do with the end-times, then it wouldn't be found in unfulfilled chapters of prophecy.  Isaiah chapters 24-27 are unfulfilled.  Chapter 27 indicates leviathan is future because God punishes it at a time when Israel has plenty and is prosperous.

I say Isaiah 27 and Job 41 are all about the future leviathan.  They're the same kind of people we find in Habakkuk 1, which is all about Islamic terrorism and foreign fighters. Those chapters are very neglected end-time prophecies because people don't know what to think about them.

Isaiah 27:6 hasn't happened yet....

"He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit." 

This is either Israel's restoration or speaking of the Millennial kingdom. The Leviathan lives today.

In the same way Isaiah speaks about the Assyrian anti-Christ being associated with Lucifer, Isaiah does the same here about the leviathan.

"In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind."

Interesting that Isaiah calls the time the leviathan is present, "the DAY of the east wind." The 'east wind' is also found in Habakkuk 1 which is all about Islamic terrorism and is always associated with falsity, evil and destruction.

Isaiah says about the time the leviathan is here....

Isaiah 27:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

In what day? This can only happen in the Millennial Reign of Christ! They which were "ready to perish," are conditions that will exist during tribulation.

David Guzik, Chuck Smith, and A.R. Fausset say the Isaiah 27 prophecy about the leviathan is future.

"At the time when Israel shall be delivered, and the ungodly nations punished, God shall punish the great enemy of the Church....Islam and the Leviathan."

Several people KNOW Isaiah 27 is 'unfulfilled prophecy." They just don't comment much on it because they don't know what to think of it.

ISIL claims they are the leviathan that has been awakened! Those fighters are now incorporated into other jihadist sects.

According to the ISIS/ISIL video, and several others who know about this, they want a united regional caliphate with no borders, one flag, and one currency. Now does that sound familiar to anyone? Yet so many people are waiting for a pre-trib rapture, a one world government and global dictator, a united one world religion and false prophet, and a temple to be rebuilt! NONE of that will ever come to pass!

Look at the Leviathan here. In several ISIL recruiting videos, they claim they are the leviathan that has been awakened.

It's amazing that people have paid little attention to the leviathan knowing it's unfulfilled prophecy.  Christians have been obsessed with books like Daniel and Revelation that deal with the BEASTS and neglect so many other prophecies.

The word Leviathan is used 5 times in 4 verses in the bible. Gesenius says about the leviathan in Isaiah 27:1,

"Leviathan is the symbol of the hostile kingdom of Babylon." He says in Job 38 it's "a serpent of a larger kind."

Gesenius also says the Leviathan is a "larger than normal serpent and attached to Babylon." In Psalm 74:14 Leviathan is used to describe a fierce enemy. Leviathan is associated with a serpent and a dragon indicating its evil nature. The L in ISIL stands for, 'leviathan.'

The word ‘leviathan' is the word, “liviyathan.’  And it means a sea monster or a dragon.  It comes from a word meaning, “to join, be joined to join, be joined, attend, to join oneself to, be joined unto.”                                                                     

Does this sound familiar?

Daniel 8:19 

"And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be."

.....shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment. Does this sound familiar???

Revelation 12:6 

"And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."
