Where is it going?
Are you leaving others to make assumptions on the usefulness of this knowledge?

I don't think these 2 men's questions are implying that this subject is unimportant to them...if it was, I don't think they would have taken the time to ask. But what good is a discussion if questions are not answered or at least attempted to be answered?

From what I've seen implied by some members from these 2 recent threads on 'Leviathan' is that this symbol is to be Satan...but some members have implied (and outright said) that 'behemoth' is also a symbol of Satan.

Is it either or? Both? Neither?

Is this different than what the scriptures have taught us about Satan [that Satan is a serpent/snake/dragon...Rev 12, Rev 20, 2 Cor 11:3, Job 26:13, Isa 27:1, etc]? (Can all be read starting here: http://bible-truths.com/ [LOF #2, 9, & 10 specifically)

Does it explain more? How so?

These questions are not to belittle this subject, but to try to get a discussion to expand upon them. There doesn't seem to be any direction and God is not the author of confusion, so I would like to know where this is going as well. This is not meant to offend anyone but to establish some sort of direction and not rampant speculation...because previous discussion on this subject have gone that path.


Thanks,

Marques

Sorry Rodger, I wasn't trying to upset you and I know you didn't use the word "teach" I was just wondering if you were implying that. I guess I didn't understand what you were trying to say. Didn't mean to sound ugly.

Could the Behemoth signifiy Babylon or the worlds spiritual leaders? Here is why I ask. If you replace some of the words in Job 40:15 with common excepted spiritual equivelants It kind of sheds some new light.

I have attempted to do that below maybe some of the more spiritually mature can correct and add to what I started.

Job 40:15  Behold now behemoth (Large beast or large mass of man), which I made with thee; he eateth grass (Consumes those of little strength; those to whom God's doctrine and speech come.) as an ox. Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. He moveth his tail (tail is false prophets and doctrines). like a cedar (Cedar-Men that are elevated, either by their own imaginations or by God).: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. (Brass and iron - Twin metals of revolution against God, and those who corrupt God's word) He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword (word) to approach unto him. Surely the mountains (Kingdoms) bring him forth food( tithes and offering), where all the beasts of the field (Men of the world) play. He lieth under the shady trees (tree’s signify man’s life… shade is the lack of light/partial darkenss.), in the covert of the reed, and fens. The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about. Behold, he drinketh up a river (Masses of people), and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.He taketh it with his eyes(spiritual understanding and knowledge,): his nose pierceth through snares.

I am not great with this stuff but maybe others can build of of it.
