But remember, the leviathan is not in the Bible to worship.

Well at first glans one would think. But no, not realy. There are two "liviathans" Leviathan #1 is the crockadile. In this story he may be talking about wresling a crockadile not a dragon. How ever the crockadile was often called a "dragon". But Liviathan (The Folded One) was also "the dragon that is in the sea". The bile also talks about a "beast" coming from the sea, and calls him "that old serpent the devel and satan". So it could also be talking about the satanic powers, as it also list other beast as the Behemith (beasts) and such, as in God saying can you Job take on satanic powers? also see Isaiah 27-1, Pslams 74-14. Next Liviathans, are also astrological, One is the sea dragon who circles the earth with its tali in his mouth forming a circle. This is a group of stars that form a "dragon" called Liviathan by the early hebrews, also know by the names Ouroboros, or the Midgard Serpent, Jormungandr, or World Serpent. There is also the clistrial dragon (Liviathan) whos tail is seen as the milky way. When talking about thes Liviathans you must also remimber Sumarian story of Labbu, who was renamed by the Babylonians later as Tiamat. Their were also two, the female Tiamat and her consort Apsu. Who began all creation. So is this a story about dragons, or a metaphoric story about asking where was man when the earth and hevens were created, and does man think he can have power over creation and the forces of the universe?

Well to me it doesn't sound like a dragon, but man it sure sounds like a dinosaur that is for sure. I mean it was HUGE whatever it was. I know some think it's a whale, cause of the boiling water part, they think it's the bubbles from something large desending into the water but some of the details he uses to describe Leviathan is not similar to a whale. I think there is a part that said it has scales, and whales don't have scales. So in my mind I have always pictured some sort of dinosaur.

It sounds like a dragon to me, or what they called Dinosaurs. Come to think, a dragon does look like a dinosaur and being quite large, they probably gave up a lot of methane gas, and if someone lit some flint close to one, there would be flames. I suppose then the dragons had not been hunted down, so there must have been quite a variety still around.

Hi luvcatzzz,
I believe you are talking about the leviathan? The Strong's says, "a wreathed animal,that is a serpent,(especially the crocodile or some other large sea monster)"
so yep, could it could have been a dragon..
