Leviathan: The Biblical Monster of the Sea (Biblical Stories Explained) 

Not too long ago, there was recorded a massive "blewp" in the ocean. Scientists have stated that whatever living creature made such a blewp would be exceedingly large. And since 95% of the ocen remains undiscovered, I dont see it as impossible that the Leviathan could be real.

“There’s always a bigger fish”

Leviathan. The ONLY Sea Monster that the Kraken fears.

I'm terrified of big bodies of water ..i just feel like there's something there we can't always know about ,I can't do it no way ,gives me the creeps

Just imagine the leviathan still sleeping at the bottom of the ocean and could possibly be awoken by humans doing something stupid😭

Given the vivid description from the bible, there's no way the creature would be a myth, why would the ALMIGHTY go into so much detail about a creature that isnt in existence. GOD cannot lie.

I like the idea that God has created a giant sea monster just to make food for his servants in the end of days. Although I also believe that God created Leviathan, Ziz and Behemoth in order to protect the natural order, in case humans stray too far.

Leviathan is God's first creation along with Behemoth. It is also the biggest creature God ever created and it's also a creature that can't die, only by the hand of God himself. It is the strongest, largest animal that God has ever created, and it has no fear. its skin is impenetrable, it can spit fire and has devastatingly large, sharp teeth. It's fast and intelligent, and nobody but God can fathom it. It was made to devour and destroy, only God can awaken Leviathan and direct it. Job tells us Leviathan has a heart of stone, that means it's indestructable so no man can kill it. Leviathan is the dragon that lives somewhere beneath the ocean. Reason why Leviathan has been vanished for ten thousands of years, is because God is helding it back until the last days. It lives in a hidden place beneath the ocean, sealed off by God himself. In the last days God will unleash Leviathan only to bring destruction to the unbelievers. When Leviathan's task is accomplished, God himself will kill Leviathan with his own sword.

“Psalm” is pronounced “salm” not “palm”

The more we delve into biblical lore, the more it seems deep and badass..

I truly love this one. My admiration for the sea holds no bounds. Regardless of our advances, the sea holds and always will - an unparalleled mysticism. Who can be sure of anything within it's depths: rational or irrational. It may hold the answers to subjects beyond us. I find it amazing how we are aware of different planets and moons within our solar system, how long they take to rotate once around the sun, the elements/materials that consist of each. And yet, the sea remains unknown...

If God plays with Levaithan like a kitten that tells you how powerful God is.

Leviathan was given the waters to rome. He will rise in the last day; when Yah; his master, calls for him 🥶🥶🥶

You know what... correct me if I'm wrong but I think 75 or 90% of the ocean has not or can not be explored. The deepest darkest parts of the ocean. All kinds of weird, creepy, and strange creatures down there. Thanks for sharing.

Given their context of the Leviathan, my favorite interpretation lies beyond it's representation of the sea. It is a representation of how the Universe was constructed from subjugating the Leviathan; the essence of chaos. Chaos itself being stateless, formless, and timeless is restrained to create our reality and it is because it was made from such a beast that we could have free will. Those who exercise their power being made in the image of God can eat from the Leviathan by exercising free will instead of being deterministic. This also gives context, in my view, to why this is God's response to Job. God didn't need to give us free will and if we seek it we shall find and eat from it as his children. Anyway, this also integrates quantum behaviour in my mind as it is the nature of the Leviathan/Chaos displaying formlessness, timelessness, and statelessness until forced to collapse. So what I'm getting at is culturally the Leviathan represents a beast that lurks in the unknown and God used that idea to talk about the greatest creature in the unknown which makes up the fabric of our existence.

the leviathian beats the meg hands down

I look forward to these, your time energy and effort is greatly appreciated.

There are still unknown creatures lurking at the bottom of the sea.

Leviathan is real life Godzilla.

This was a really good video. I remember reading about the Leviathan in my Bible when I was just 7 years old, and it awakened in me a deep admiration for the ocean depths, all creatures within it, and the God I believe placed them there to thrive. That fascination with the abyss has stayed with me even into adulthood, and I thank the Lord for it. In regards to what I believe the Leviathan is actually supposed to be... I don't know. I wasn't sure back then, and I'm still not sure now. I'm absolutely certain that it's use in Isaiah was to be taken as a metaphor, with some scholars I've read understanding it as representing Babylon or other enemies/threats to Israel, but in regards to Job and the Psalms, I'm torn between thinking it a myth or symbol, a misrepresentation of a less extravagant beast, or a true colossus of the deep. With how little we really know about our oceans, and evidence of abyssal gigantism in the marine sciences, I find it to treat the notion of such a creature as nothing more than legend.

Its not a metaphor in Christianity, just a lot of modern day Christians think everything in the bible is a metaphor. Some stuff is literal. . EDIT: I can't believe my comment sparked a long conversation! Awesome guys! :)

I have read my Bible 3 times at the time in my life I gave my heart to THE LORD AND WAS SAVED ,and I do know that the devil said that Job Would curse the Lord and the trials, that GOD put Job through is to prove how faithful Job Was ,and because Job never cursed the Lord he was rewarded double everything that was taken from him ,

You have some facts wrong, God didnt take from Job, He only allowed the devil to take all from Job.

I am not overly religious, but I really enjoy you takes on the different biblical entities. I believe something like that could truly exist.

i love all your videos, thanks

God didn't kill Job's children or took anything from him. Read the book of Job again

Thank you for doing this video! I requested it a few months ago.

Would you consider making a three part video to this? On the ziz(2nd) and the behemoth(3rd)??? That would be greatly appreciated

It is the dragon of the deep The mighty ocean is the unknown. The abyss is where Chaos dwells.

Call me crazy but i believe in monsters(werewolves, vampires) every religion in the past had an element of MAGIC and i feel that the some of the mythologies of antiquity has some credence .

Do an episode on all three. I only just found out about the Ziz.

The ocean is alive and it breathes

I've oftentime wondered if there's another reason besides the scientific ones why no submarines etc cannot go beyond a certain Dept in the sea maybe there is something down there that humans are not meant to see as yet?

If it is a metaphor.. the movie “Cloverfield is the closest metaphorical story of the Leviathan. If it’s not a metaphor, Cloverfield was preparing us for the Leviathan.

One of my favorite stories. Thank you (+)

You should really consider doing a video about Samson, Peter, and Judas Iscariot for your Biblical Stories Explained series

Doesn’t the book of Peter say that anyone who views and teaches the Bible from their perspective instead of taking it as literal are false prophets? How can one believe in God, Lucifer, Jesus, Angels, Demons, Heaven and Hell but say Behemoth, Leviathan and Zizz have never existed?

I’m a believer in the God of Israel, and may I say, I love your research strictly for how thorough you are. I’m going too add that spiritually understanding these stories will open ones eyes to the truth. True spiritual awareness comes from Yah. It’s beautiful. One thing tho, PLEASE don’t use the NIV translation, ESV or CSB are more accurate versions.

Imagine being so incomprehensibly powerful that God himself is your hypeman.

I want to hear more about this Air monster you mentioned.

I was here at 4 k subs awaken to see how much this channel has grown

the kraken: Im the be- The leviathan: ₣ł₦ł₴ⱨ ₮ⱨ₳₮ ₴ɇ₦₮ɇ₦₵ɇ..

I have been beige watching your videos I got to say thank you friend very good work.

Before I even start this video. That thumbnail was a beautiful piece of art. Well back to the video.

Fun fact: In the movie Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Leviathan and the Loch Ness Monster are one and the same creature. It was one of the Titans awakened by King Ghidorah (along with its rival, Behemoth, which resembles a mammoth/gorilla/sloth hybrid).

It is in there just waiting to wake from slumber..

I remember seeing another comment in a pirates of the Caribbean video that stated that the speech that Davy Jones gives when summoning the kraken parallels what Job in the Bible says when he first mentions it. Both have to do with woe when calling their creatures . Thought that was interesting and it brought me here.

Perhaps the leviathan exist in a higher demension that overlapses with our own. Which would explain how it can come and go so mysteriously.

Sounds like a dragon or something

I believe that the Behemoth was actually a Brontosaurs and the Leviathan might have been like a sea crock or alligator type creature. Or what was once known as Dragons. But I do believe they were real.

I really really hope you do more biblical "mythology" these ones are the best.

Great video

Can you please do a video on Thorfinn Karlsefni.

I may be agnostic but if the spiritual world and the biblical stories are true. the world would be infinitely cooler yet terrifying

Great Job looking at so many different theories of one of the Bibles most mysterious and fascinating creatures. As this vid is a year old someone may have already brought this up; in my research I learned that Leviathan is a left over reference to an older version of the creation myth. Leviathan refers to the primordial entity of chaos that existed before the world, or even time. In this story God, battles, subdues and binds the beast to end Chaos and establish the order needed to create the heavens and the Earth. Here Leviathan can be compared with Canaanite and Babylonian myths of Baal defeating Lotan, and Marduk defeating Tiamat... both of whom take the form of giant serpents. Ironically it also has a parallel in Norse Mythology in the character of the world serpent, Jormungandr, who battles the sky god Thor.

Anyone here aware of the leviathan oil field in israel?

My esoteric interpretation of the Leviathan is as follows: First whenever we hear the term "beast" it is referring to "fleshly matters", or desires of the fleshly realm. Money, property, power, prestige, fame ect. Leviathan lives/travels in water. Water represents the mind. So, Water=brain/the mind specifically. The beast (fleshly desire) Leviathan lives, works and plays in our minds.this Leviathan represents (IMO) our EGO portion of our psyche. .......Job 41:33 Nothing on earth is his equal-a creature devoid of fear! 34He looks down on all the haughty; he is king over all the proud.” The EGO(Leviathan) looks DOWN(because he lives in your mind in the "heavens" above . To defeat the the beast we must use that "Gold(represents PURITY) Sword(Represents words/double edged/tongue) To kill Leviathan (EGO) we must find and use that sword (PURE THOUGHTS /words ie:TRUTH) Sword =Words this is the same word with the first letter being moved to the last letter Behemoth also a beast (fleshly desire) but lives, plays, rules the "earth" earth=your body. This beast stands for the things the body desires, sex, alcohol, drugs, excessive food, ect. I wish you all Love, peace, knowledge and wisdom dear friends! Please check out my youtube channel ARC Channel and peek at my playlist on Esoteric Interpretations of biblical verses/stories. Keep an open mind, always seek TRUTH, peaae and compassion for all mankind.

I have come to love the videos that I have categorized as "Water Serpents." Perhaps you could do Yam-Lotan next. I truly appreciate this channel, as I am a mythology freak. I especially enjoy your lengthy videos, like Ba'al, Enlil, and the Harlot of Babylon. 🖤

Honestly the thumbnail is so damn cool.

Hello I have seen two commercials while watching this video , thank you 💕

If I had to take a wild shot in the dark I would say that the leviathan is in Antarctica frozen. Why all the world leaders wanted to go there is kind of as one might say very very unsettling to say the least. Also the dragons showing up around the world giants and everything coming to the light we're closer than one might think

Good Vids As Alway's. And A Merry chrismas To Ya'll 🎄🎄

Yano, even amongst theologists, the book of job is considered a childrens story, added to the bible because of the poetic speech's and for the ideas it touchs upon( mans importance, the spirits place in the spiritual food chain, the desciption of levithan, and the relationship between God and the devil, changing the dynamic from an eternal war, to a wager for the souls of men) personally i like that...its kinda deep

This is awesome,. You should do video on the nephilim.

If Smaug was a metallic, deep water dragon.

We tend to forget that if giant(room sized or bus sized)squids and fish exist, there's gotta be something deep in the ocean that's big enough to eat them.😳

Love it 😍🤩❤️💞💜🧡 , we have to learn to stay in our lane ..

Awwwwesome thank you!

Guys just imagine we only know 5% of the sea. There could be so many things out there

In the Greek of the LXX each verse that corresponds to "Leviathan" is a different form of "dragon." Sweet.

For some reason the description in Job always makes me think of Godzilla, the description fits Legendary’s Godzilla to a T. Makes me laugh a little bit, picturing Godzilla emerging from the ocean to fight the Revelation monsters.

Thank You for sharing 💖😊and God Bless💖

It's real, and it's still very much so with us. You can say it's sleep, waiting to be called. You're welcome

In the biblical narrative, Leviathan is more than just a metaphor. It's definitely a real creature that they use as a metaphor as well.

We need a video about the Behemoth.

Do you plan on doing a video for Bahamut and Ziz?

The decayed body of leviathan is in the Moroccan desert, mudfossil University channels Rodger found her.

The P in "Psalm" is silent.

Love the video. The only thing is in the word Psalm the P is silent

❤🙋‍♀️excellent video.

Ancient Hebrews: *L E V I A T H A N* Child: Whale!

Lovecraft eat your heart out.

Thank you....🙌🙌

Indeed, enlightening !

The book of Enoch basically tells you everything that is need to know about gods Kingdom and His creations If Jesus look the way he did when he was here, it was only to blend in, but if you pay attention about the Angels,, especially Gabriel, this beings are beyond our understanding! And for god to made anything is no problem!

He lives on the depths of the trench

Part of the description of the creature made me think of the "Underwater Conveyor". It keeps the waters of our Oceans regulated. It moves around the globe. It's in constant motion and "IF" it were to stop our plant would die!

We all know things exist that require to live at the deepest ends of the seas. Even something as harmless as blob fish can’t come to the surface because the lack of pressure makes their muscles relax too much and they suffer for several minutes before death. They need intense pressure to even attempt to live, so it isn’t much of a stretch to imagine that something like a Leviathan could still be out there, but it’s so deep in the sea in an area we’ve yet to explore that we cannot find it yet, and it’s incapable of coming to us

I think Leviathan is a hold over from a common myth in the area in which a ruler god had to overcome a primordial sea monster, such as Marduk vs. Tiamat, or Zeus vs. Typhon. However, when they bring that myth to the Hebrew God who is already the primordial being, the story looses it's meaning, so your just left with the monster as a reference.

1:34 I've never read "Palms". Interesting.

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

This channel has some of the best comments u will ever read

How can one believe in God, but not believe this monster existed???? Doesn't make sense does it?

I think they could exist because strange things because they’re always finding new species.

The interpretation of Job shared by the narrator of this short sweet video; left off two important thing's addressed in this Text. The first, God did allow Satan too test Job's Faith regarding the loss of his personal Possession the great loss of his children may have impacted him more so than his material needs. God warned Satan off a specific Action that He was not to Kill Job twice. An why did Job snap? His so-called friends arrived too "comfort Him", and accused him of Sinning against God as too the reason's why all this disaster had Befallen Him. Believe me, I've heard epic sermons on that subject alone regarding this turning point in Jobs Story of His "Comforting Friend's". Oh boy what I would of given just too listen to The Creator Himself speak too me as well. Pondering Each Emergency, disaster that befell Job left me wondering how in the World did Lucifer managed to create a East Wind that killed Job's first set of children? God is greater than all of his Creation those Angel's must be built orangically Created bio-weapons. Lucifer can't do that now since Christ died on the Cross He's loss considerable skills He once made use of and not in a good way.

How about theories of what the Leviathan and Behemoth are?

It's the spirit of the ocean including everything it consumes look at history that'll explain it and the fact that waves crash on every coast water is sometimes clear and blue then pitch black and dangerous.. a real beast

Scary fact: We've explored 5% of the ocean, so the remaining 95% are still a mystery.

Leviathan is symbolic for the constellation of the sea monster Cetus in the sky. Cetus lies in the region of the sky called the water. It's also referred to as the whale, I think the same one that swallowed Jonah, but in mythology is a giant sea serpent.

love it
