Go to chapter 41 or there we're going to continue reading here, and now we're going to see Leviathan being described And you want to talk about a fire-breathing dragon We see this described perfectly in Leviathan in Job chapter 41 look at verse number one the Bible reads Canst thou draw out Leviathan with an hook so right away? We're seeing this is referring to a creature that at least spend some time in the sea Because he's saying drawing them out with a hook right that's what a fisherman does it draw with a hook or his tongue with a cord which thou let us down canst thou put a hook into his nose or Bore his jaw through with a thorn again things that people use thorns hooks to go fishing with He's saying can you can you do that? You're gonna be able to draw up Leviathan with a hook Verse 3 will he make many supplications unto thee will he speak soft words unto thee? Basically saying you are not the master of Leviathan Right you can't he's not gonna speak softly unto you because he's scared of you verse 4 will he make a covenant with thee Wilt thou take him for a servant forever? Wilt thou play with him as with a bird or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens basically again You can't you're not gonna domesticate this beast that he's being referred to here Leviathan verse number 6 shall the companions make a banquet of him Shall they part him among the merchants canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons or his head With fish spears so now this is talking about you know when you kill an animal in sport And you fill a skin with barbed irons right you you do like a taxidermy on them And you and you recreate the animal after you've killed them, and and you set them back up again That's What I think it is now obviously this could be referring to just trying to Bring him down but I Think it is referring to his massive size. Let's keep reading it verse number 8 lay thine hand upon him Remember the battle do no more Behold the hope of him is in vain shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him Referring to this thing so big and so strong that your hope just just seeing this thing let alone trying to do anything to him Like your hopes is gonna be shot down It's like there's no way I can do anything To this creature verse number 10 none is so fierce that dare stir him up who then is able to stand before me Who hath prevented me that I should repay him whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine, so this is now God Referring to You know well this creature is so fierce none's gonna stir him up says who's gonna stand before me because God's the one who made This creature right so they're like you know who who prevents me, and who should I repay and he's using this creature That that instills fear and man To make the bigger application of you know how you ought to be viewing the Lord Verse 12 I will not conceal his parts nor his power nor his comely proportion who can discover the face of his garment or Who can come to him with his double bridle who can open the doors of his face his teeth are terrible Roundabout his scales are his pride so again now. This is referring to a beast It's talking about bring him up from water, and it has scales And His scales are so close together as as they're shut up together as with a closed seal like they're airtight It's like an armor One is so near to another that no air can come between them They are joined one to another they stick together that they cannot be sundered sundered would be like cut apart, right? verse 18 by his knees ings a Light doth shine and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning So this is given some pretty good detail to this creature Leviathan so by his knees ings so you think about this is gonna be it's kind of like a sneeze or something coming out of his mouth a light doth shine Light coming out of his mouth or out of his nose Maybe and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning, so this this bird like an orange probably yellow orange Eyeballs and then verse 19 out of his mouth go burning lamps and sparks of fire leap out This is talking about a fire-breathing dragon I Mean it's literally what this is describing The purpose of describing this beast again is to show the great power of God But The amount of deed why would the Bible why would God spend so much time Going into detail about a creature that doesn't really exist about something that's just myth and Trying to relate how people are so scared of that But you ought to be scared of me like be scared of what scared of a non-existent creature. Oh, yeah, I'm real scared I'm real scared of these creatures that don't even exist. So why would I even be scared of God? It doesn't make any sense It would it would it would be counterintuitive It would be counterproductive for the Lord to make to make a reference to something that's not even real I mean you already have you're already at people saying well God's not real. Why should I fear him? Just like I don't have to fear this this dragon. There's fire, but it's not real Look, it is real It's a real creature being described here and it's talking about fire going out of his mouth Verse 20 out of his nostrils go a smoke as out of a seething pot or cauldron His breath kindleth coals and a flame goeth out of his mouth in his neck Remaineth strength and sorrow is turned into joy before him the flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm in themselves They cannot be moved His heart is as firm as a stone Yea as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. This is important I believe this to be physically true that the heart is very hard of this creature being described But when you start looking at all of these various characteristics of the dragon, you can see or Leviathan You can see why Satan is referred to as Leviathan a hard heart right a stony heart a heart that that's just Already given over to this reprobation You've got this pride in the scales, right? And and you know fire and destruction coming out of his mouth all of these various attributes of This creature line up perfectly with Satan which is why I think this is a perfect creature to describe say it is scary Satan is scary. Satan is out to devour. You know Bible says that the devil is a roaring lion Walketh about seeking whom he may devour
