Are you sure that wasn't a very, very old dictionary? :D

Thanks Mark,
Since my last post on this subject, i have reviewed and am currently researching Rays writings and other discussions on this forum. Also many other references including TALMUD and various other works done on this subject. There are physical types here, but also very much more Spiritual Type, i am still following this whenever lead to do so.
I totally missed this thread so thanks again for bringing it up. Hope to be able to expand on this soon, there is some very eye opening Scriptures that refer to Leviathan.
Psa 74: 12-18 (KJV)
12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.
16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.
Psa 104: 25-26 (KJV)
25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
Isa 27:1 (KJV)
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.
H3882
לויתן

You know how sometimes the scriptures speak to you, where you are right now? Okay, so I've been researching affordable vacation options, and the past few days have been looking into the Florida Keys. Then this topic came up and I linked in my thoughts, hmmmm, manatee (a sea creature pretty common in the FL Keys), hmmmm, behemoth? It's kind of like a physical shadow being brought to light--at least for me maybe, when I think of this animal's characteristics? I'm not going really deep or anything here, and I'm not meaning to offer that I think this is a literal answer for the topic--I'm just comparing the figurative descriptions in the scriptures to the traits that can be attributed to this peaceful, meek, unobstrusive but yet mighty and amazing animal--but....I never would have even thought about this if the circumstances weren't as they were. Does that make any sense??
I'd welcome other thoughts re: how things in "our" own here and now tie in with our spiritual learning. It's so weird (in a great way) to me how sometimes what we discuss here on the forum and what I'm studying in the Bible just resonates and links with whatever life experiences I'm going thru, no matter how mundane they might seem on the surface. So cool.
Thank you God for your servant Ray who is still teaching me to open my eyes and ears. And thank you forum family.
Love in Christ,
Vangie
