Job 41

Job 41:1 "Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?

There has been much debate over what the Leviathan is. Some have believed it to be a whale, because the word literally translates whale. Others, because of the descriptions, have thought it to be like a crocodile. I honestly believe this creature to be even greater than both. The Lord says that when he sneezes, light flashes, and that out of his mouth comes a flame. I believe this to suggest that Leviathan is a fire breathing animal! He has scales which produces a hard layer, much like a crocodile. He has so many teeth which come together perfectly, the Lord states, "...no air can come between them." This creature is certainly fierce. Picture a dragon of the sea.

The simple lesson from this chapter is, as awesome and mystical and out of this world Leviathan is, our God is even greater still. Our God is all powerful. Our God is truly great. We go to the zoo, and see powerful animals and stand amazed. I know I love to see the giraffe. The designs and the animals shape is crazy! However, even more amazing still is that I stand before the creator of the world and sup with Him at His table. Take time to worship God, not just in worship, but on your own. Truly our Lord is great!
