The LEVIATHAN Spirit 👻: Kinda Shocked By What I Found 🐍 

“Biblical verses” 😂 I’m so thankful for you guys deciding to go over this stuff. Our church recently added some deliverance ministry stuff and finding clarity on what I believe on a lot of it through prayer and scripture has been made much easier by adding this to my studying. Your theology is solid, constant use of scripture, careful articulate explanations, and humor and has encouraged me in many ways as I study the Word and dig deeper into what I believe and where things line up in scripture that I’m beginning to see practiced. Thanks for doing what you do guys!

Funny story as a kid, I wasn't too interested in reading the Bible and thought it was boring until I heard about the Leviathan. As a kid I was just like "whoa! dragons that's cool!" and went on to read more verses and really wanted to learn what the Bible says about the Leviathan and learn about what the ancient Israelites at the time thought about it. I didn't think about it at the time but I think that was the catalyst to actually study the Bible and my wanting to learn what the text is actually saying and not what people read into it.

I was introduced to deliverance by the Holy Spirit after I would cry and cry asking God, “why are my son and father and I always arguing, hating each other, so much contradiction but still yet we want to be together?” After some time I heard in the spirit Leviathan. I didn’t know we as Christians could have demons. This was new to me. I didn’t even know that word was in the Bible. As I did research and watched a deliverance video for the first time I felt something leave the side of my spine up and out, it hurt. This is when I realized there was much more to learn in my Christian walk.

Excellent discussion as usual. Regarding python for next week, a few years ago I felt pressed on all sides and didn't see a way out of various circumstances. Not sin just hindered. Normally I pray and it goes away. This time the Lord asked me to ask its name. I did and Python was the name I heard in my heart. I prayed against it specifically and felt release. I shared it with my wife and the next morning there were 15-20 dead baby snakes around our vehicles in a public parking area. Within a few days I received an unexpected raise in both jobs, relationships were mended without my acting on it, and random house problems stopped and never returned. It was definitely one of the most random spiritual experiences. That being said I normally don't ask names unless the Lord directs me to do so. I don't teach this experience as prescriptive (other than asking the Lord what to do), but descriptive.

So, could Leviathan be both a literal creature and a metaphor for Satan/demonic forces? Just as we have literal snakes today and Satan is the serpent in the garden.

I appreciate your natural un affected speaking voices and its a good discussion. Thankyou for covering many ideas and thoughts.😊

Thinking from Dr. Heiser’s supernatural worldview it makes me think of the world serpent from other religions

I love Remnant Radio! Awesome Job guys!

I would be mad if I were a snake and Josh called me “one giant neck” 😂😂😂😂

I had never heard of a spirit pf Leviathan UNTIL I had an unbelievable dream catching a giant fish which fought me (or I fought it) for so long and it twisted and I was in circle holding on to it until I broufht it out of the water and it fell by my feet facing down as if with open arms (its fins) And in the dream I said this is not exactly a fish but a monster and when I woke up the word LEVIATHAN came on my mind and I run to my Bible

Levithian is in at least 50% of the deliverances the Lord uses us for. It’s a very real demon. its also a commander demon, but its not that high ranking (meaning there’s others much higher in rank). The others throw him out first on the chopping block during a deliverance.

A spirit of heaviness written about in Isaiah 61-3 to take that off which I think causes so much depression and anxiety because yes it’s a heart issue which I think is controlled by this spirit of heaviness that Isaiah writes about and to take it off and put on a garment of praise !! I think this would be a great life changing topic 🙏 also your channel has helped me in a lot of ways literally life changing , So God Bless you guys and all the Glory be to YESHUA 🙏

A thought that is more psychological/logical. If demons are fallen angels then we can probably assume that demons are drawn to certain human behaviors based on the purpose that angel was created for. So each demon has its own name and probably searches for certain sins or to guide people towards those specifc sins as a means to live vicariously through that human.

Definitely do more...this is a real thing especially in Spanish, African and Caribbean communities. It’s not just Charismatic. But be VERY careful, fast, pray and cover yourselves in the Blood of Jesus and behind the fire wall of the Holy Spirit (Zechariah 2:5) also your loved ones, esp children, and every area and aspect of your lives before doing so. Good resource, Agapekind here on RU-vid. Do not go into this lightheartedly or arrogantly, these are entities with real power, not more power than the LORD God Almighty! There have been Strong, Mature Christians who went into this without the Anointing, Approval and Cover of the LORD and paid dearly for it. Henry Gruver May have been one such Brother.

Great episode! This is the first time that have heard that there was a leviathan spirit. Wow!! It amazes me how some people take bible texts and take them out of context. Like I heard Dr. Mackie say once, "if the people that wrote the bible would hear how some people use what they wrote, they would say, 'you are saying that what it says what? No!' ". Joshua and Michelle, great job guys, and may THE LORD bless your hearts and ministries in JESUS name AMEN GOD bless everyone

Time to re read CS Lewis. Screw tape letters.

47:29 the demon in the girl in Acts also spoke the truth about Paul and the way of salvation.

The first time I listened to you two, and I appreciate you very much. Thanks and I will share your show and watch more.

To my ear, it sounds like some charismatics are attributing omnipresence to some of these spirits.

The Leviathan spirit is a form of a demon, its like calling a snake a python or a rattlesnake

I have lived at many resort type beaches that looked like paradise. But, so much open hostility domestic violence and substance abuse. Also, bizarre tragedies.

I didn't know much about this but another sister at church mentioned it and based on most of description it seemed like it was true for example the twisting of the words and intentions and the breaking down of each other. It help me to understand what I was dealing with and take it more seriously. Trust in in the Lord with all your might and lean not on your own understanding. Love you all!

This was a very well balanced discussion. I appreciate the honesty in highlighting neither cessationism or hyper spiritualism are Biblical and correct. We must have spirit AND truth, and any perspective that neglects or minimizes the other is missing an important point. While I disagreed with a couple things you said, I thoroughly enjoyed this and found it very refreshing in the midst of all the hyper polarized voices.

How do such weirdly specific ideas end up so widespread?

QUESTION: since so many things in scripture ha multi-layer application, is it possible that Leviathan is two things? 1. Spiritual: Satan/ principality/ etc.... AND 2. a literal, physical, dinosaur/dragon-like creature that people used as a mascot or avatar of worship?

The story was she sacrificed kids to Baal. Now the jezebel spirits a metaphor for just an evil woman🤷🏾‍♂️💯

Here's me, an Australian, screaming "STEVE IRWIN" at the screen

I really like this show. We as Christian’s need to test things more line this.

Dr Michael S Heiser has a great PODCAST on this subject. Blessings Pastors. 🎉

Good words. Also huge respect for Isaiah Saldivar. I think you're right about jumping to conclusions too quick in interpretation and the danger of speculation-based teaching. One thing Isaiah says sometimes is something like, "All of the Bible is of/in God, but not all of God is in the Bible." Meaning, there are things we can learn about God and the spiritual realm that are true and yet not explicitly found in scripture. On the one hand, I think he may be right. On the other, I agree with you that scripture is sufficient in helping us have the knowledge to get the work done. A lot of the critics who call people like Isaiah S. and Todd White false teachers don't listen to the sum total of their teaching, which as you said about Isaiah, quite consistently includes *repentance* from sin, submission to Jesus, and living holy. Blessings to you guys at RR. Keep it up.

The problem with seeking names like this is that people in the deliverance ministry particularly, claim that someone is under the influence of said spirit. But these spirits cannot be affecting everyone, say like in yoga. They all get labelled as having a 'kundalini'. However, demons and spirits cannot be everywhere at once, as only the Godhead is Omnipresent and so a single spirit demon can only be affecting one person at a time (or a person can have multiple demons). However, fallen angels or fallen sons of God (watchers) can influence a nation and these would be referred to as principalities and powers as described by the Apostle Paul. Levithan was a powerful being who was around before the flood and maybe one of the fallen sons of God in Genesis 6. However, Job is describing a large creature like a dragon. Most of these powerful spirits are not bothering us as they will be effecting heads of state, governments and royalty. We read in the book of Kings that that God spoke through a prophet regarding the sending of a lying spirit to speak through the prophets to fool king Ahab into a battle. However, this was not an ordinary demon, this must have been a powerful principality who spoke through each false prophet one at a time. I believe that most people within the deliverance ministry are being mis-taught and are coming out with some crazy things just like those who claim to be prophets today and come out with utter nonsense that doesn't square up with the word of God. Everything must be discerned by Scripture.

Hi from Australia, Gold coast! Thanks for what you guys do! Love it!

Please pray for Robb; I have epilepsy and dental disease. May God bless my friends.

Job 3:8 Basically talking about early satanists "raising" Leviathan

Crocodile Hunter was Steve Irwin

Oh, yes! It's very real!!! I worked with a deliverance ministry and it's very common and very strong!!!!

I’d love to have an actual conversation with you about this. There is a practical portion we do deliverance but it doesn’t sound like how you are describing the charismatics. I have yet to come across a person that has one demon. There is usually a hierarchy attached to them. Also, I think demonic change their names. To be honest. Based on cultures, it’s to add confusion. But again, I lack the skills and time to really dialogue what I would love to share with you in the medium.

I wouldn't want to stand against any principality without repentance.

I'd love to hear you guys cover specifically the idea of the ninefold celestial hierarch and how biblical it is. Love this stuff. I recommend your podcast all the time. (not sure if it works, but I'm trying lol)

I love your explanations regarding this topic. Keep on spreading God's word!

Have you done a session on Dominionist Theology?

Job's Leviathan is definitely NOT a regular crocodile! Whatever creature it was, it was probably something we do not see alive today. Probably something more akin to Deinosuchus, Sarcosuchus, Mosasaurus, Pliosaurus, or Spinosaurus. Not specifically these genera, but probably something related to either of them or some other similar creature. But there are definitely creatures of the past that evoke this imagery of Leviathan far more than any known living animals. It's also described very much like a real created animal among other real created animals in Job. It's not unreasonable that these stranger verses are more poetic (or in the case of the breathing fire, perhaps a real biological ability) and attempts to portray how powerful and dangerous this animal is and how it cannot be tamed or caught because of its merciless ferocity. It's even possible this actual animal was the inspiration for the more "god"-like portrayals of Leviathan and Tiamat and thus why it's being referred to in such idolized terms.

Thank you for calling out this Charismatic nonsense. It is nothing more than blaming our sin on demons. That's all this is. It is a spin-off of "you only need to believe in Jesus to be saved, you don't need to repent to be saved". I actually had a Charismatic pastor argue this with me, pointing out the the thief on the cross...massive error, massive ignorance of scripture and context. By the way I was raised Pentecostal and was affiliated with a Charismatic church and am Spirit filled. But I am seriously concerned about the continual errors being pushed by modern-day Charismatics, so much so that I steer clear of these churches.

Here's the question how many Leviathan spirits are there? Is Leviathan a specific Spirit or many spirits with Leviathan type characteristics and assignments?

Make the demons flee before you get there 😮 Just like David playing the harp and singing psalms to make Saul's demons flee ,, Yahweh in an All Consuming Fire 🔥 He inhabits your praises 🎉 Call down the firey presence of God on your own position through praise and worship ❤ YOU are a LIVING ARK OF THE COVENANT 🔥

For a year or so I have seen your videos occassionally while scrolling through youtube looking what the algorithms has in store. It mostly was thumbnails like this though, so I always confused your show with all of that other nonsense some charismatics generate on the internet, content with no scriptural, theological and philosophical grounding and blatant lies people propagate. But I always wished there were some more theological sound content on youtube that were also open to the charismatic church (which I believe is one of the most important strands of christianity now and for the future, but also the one strand most plagued with lies and multiple leaders clearly not living out the scriptures.). When I saw your trailer and checked out your channel I had to thank God, your content is important now but will also be immensely important for years to come in the work of sobering up the charismatic side of the church and bringing unity by opening up other christians to theological sound charismatic christianity. Thankyou so much :) edit: not saying that is your main objective or goal or anything, just so happy to see such a quality show that also doesnt view the charismatic strand as some alien weird and distant semi-esotericism 🤷‍♂

You're not controlling the spirit. You're casting it out in the name of Jesus! As prescribed by the Bible

I would like to see The show take a look at freemasonry

Rebellion and rejection are cousins but can hang together but don't have to.

Job 41 King James Version 1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? 2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? 3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee? 4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever? 5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? 6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants? 7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? 8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. 9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me? 11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. 13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle? 14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about. 15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. 16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them. 17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered. 18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. 20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron. 21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth. 22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. 24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. 25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves. 26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon. 27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood. 28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. 29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. 30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. 31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. 32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. 33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. 34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

This makes a lot of sense. I have a lot of friends who talk about that one preacher and how to do spiritual warfare. But just bcuz that guy uses those versus doesn't mean it's biblical.

I wonder if you could have Cale Clark as a guest on the topic of the fallen angels.

Thank you so very much 🙏😊!

First And Foremost Thank You So Much Dear Brothers For Bringing Out This Part Of The Scriptures. And Your Doing It Well By Unlocking Them!! I Just Wanted To Give My Perspective On This. I Really Like Dr Heisers Research On This Topic Because First Of All, Alot Of Evangelical Churches Don't Teach Or Preach On The Chaos Language. On The Other End, We Have The Charismatics Who Are Going To Bring Out There Views And They Are Partially True. But I Can Align More With With What Dr Heiser Says About The Leviathan. Its A Luciferian Imagery (Seraphim/Cherubim) Then Equated To Chaos And Disorder (The Waters) Then To The Systems Or Patterns Of This Realm. Leviathan Is The Same Term To Describe All Of The Different Functions And The Chaos It Spreads In Different Aspects Of Life, Like Goverments, Culture And Systems Of The Nation's. In My View , The Principalities Are The Sons Of God In (Deutronomy 32 : 8 And 9) The Same Archangels That Fell In Psalm 82 And They Are Also Equated To The Sun, Moon And The Stars In (Deutronomy 4 : 19 And 20 Whom The Most High Alloted To All The Nation's, Except Zion) Then Are Also Equated To The Cheif Princes In Daniel 10. So The Point Is That There Is Definitely A Hierarchy In The Domain Of Darkness. Like, Lucifers Nature Is Complex But Decipherable, He Is Cast As A Serpent, An Angel, An Archangel, A (Cherub/ Seraphim), The One Being Who Had Power Over Death And Ultimately The Dragon. So This Being Is Completely Different From The Other Archangels That Fell In Psalm 82 And The Demons Of The Gospels. This Is Just Complete Cosmic/Divine Chaos Imagery. But Anyways I Enjoyed The Podcast, God Bless You Both For Going Deeper 😊

I lived through the demon-conscious 80s and 90s. We had names for every demon and everything that happened in life was blamed on demons! Kick you toe? Rebuke that demon that made you kick your toe! That was the excess and false theology of that time. Today, we're more intellectual about our false theology. Pray, engage in spiritual warfare, but focus on the mission and character of Jesus! We are being sanctified, we have been transformed, we are (hopefully) growing in the stature of Christ, so let's focus on that and STOP chasing demons! Do what Jesus did and deal with demon/s as they present, but don't go looking under every rock for them.

Just bc of the Divine Council and the supernatural, and Dr. Heiser, I've subscribed

You might want to read Job because God Himself talks about leviathan. Also check out answers in Genesis. Leviathan was a sea dinosaur and bohemoth was a sauropod dinosaur. Dinosaur in the Bible is dragon.

Levethian and Gog and Magog and the The beast from the sea all have very similar judgements

“A marine spirit” Are we fighting Pokemon now?!

The Bible Project just put out a podcast on dragons that relates to this tremendously.

Leviathan: Or the Matter, Forme and Power of a Commonwealth, Ecclesiasticall and Civil by Thomas Hobbes.

There was many demons in that person BECAUSE LEVIATHAN HAS 7 HEADS... wow

GUYS! Is there any place for the revelation of the Spirit (Matthew 16:17)? If we are ministers of mystery, are mysteries opened by revelation or is it always interpretation? Does information trump revelation? IS it true there is no private interpretation of any scripture (2 Peter 1:19-20)? So when the revelation "seems" it is the same in many believers and it DOES NOT create conflict and contrary to the Word or defy authority of Scripture, do we just blow it off... especially when the scripture says we have the mind of Christ taught by Christ? Doesn't the scripture say, 'Prove all things and hold fast to that which is good'...if that is true for prophesy, what about for any understanding that is not solely natural in origin, but consistent in believers not in rejection of anything authoritatively written?

I wonder if the person saying that the serpent has something to do with “the neck” is confusing the word nachash with the word “naphesh”?

James 4:7 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” King James Version (KJV)

I love your show and all your commentaries, but I am surprised, based on the new science about dinosaur bones, that the possibility of the Leviathan in Job 41, being an actual type of dinosaur/creature.

Wait so what was the conclusion about whan Leviathan is? I heard a lot about what Leviathan *isnt* and how not to determine doctrine about it...

I feel like a lot of viewers would be interested in The Lord of Spirits podcast

Great Show. You have the truth.

I am the LORD, and there is NO OTHER. I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things. "You heavens above, rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. (Isaiah 45:5)

So, pausing at the start of when you guys read Ez. 29 about the dragon and my mind immediately thought of God describing leviathan in Job - makes me wonder if i should read it as a metaphor in Job instead of an earthly creature.

Hey the Monster hunters came across a fire eating lizard..huge...30 ft...looked dinasaurish..and fast...hmmm.

I can literally glance out my window right now and see it 🐲☁️ , it might not be the only one . There was both good and bad dragon spirits . # the waters above .

All thanks be to God above all things amen hallelujah perfect forevermore. In the gospel of Matthew chapter 12:25 knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them every kingdom divided against it self shall not stand, and every city or household divided against it self shall not stand.

20:23 - angels can not have offspring. Angels are pure spirit, and are not able to have physical relations w/ humans nor partake in creating life. The sons of God are the Righteous humans that follow God, the descendants of Seth.

If you submitted to deliverance you would both have a different opinion

Would you guys ever have Isaiah Saldivar on the channel?

Doesn't the Bible say don't liken God to anything and yet we have pictures of a lion with a crown on its head or a fish symbol or a dove for the Holy Ghost? Descending like a dove does not mean the Holy Ghost looked like a dove or was a dove. Sprinters who glide might run or accelerate like a cheetah, but that does not mean they look like a cheetah.

I love that yall are charismatic but call out all the junk they teach and preach. Glad to hear you call out the courts of heaven crap. And on another episode making it clear that the little gods teachings are heretical. God bless yall to continue investigating so many ideas and always going to scripture for all conclusions.

Selling books is the way people make money. Being sensational is important for marketing and I don't think that Jesus was ever sensational so I think that understanding that there are people out there who want to sell a story instead of finding the truth it is super important for people to understand that selling books is selling books and telling the truth is something entirely different. The Christian commercial environment is a problem these days.

The nothing spirit that Michael pointed at

@Josh: You read the word "goodly" as "godly". Goodly is an old English word for excellent, comely or impressive. If you take this away from your analysis, you will see that the interpretation points more closely to a physical being. In sum, I believe Leviathan was/is a principality to whom a physical creature was attached descriptively e.g. Satan = serpent

Did you 8clude Enoch & Baruch? Both of those talk about Leviathan and that it is a female serpent.

Leviathan/ Levites/ spiritual

Lavi is b⭕th literal & spiritual. & on another note, when You command something to be plucked up by its roots, & cast into the sea-where did You think everything was g⭕ing if n⭕t the sea. . . 😶

Jezebel spirit lives in man as well. Read what she did to Ahab.

OK so if it's christ that crushes the head how come in revelation it's the woman that does that?

? You used the term "charismatic demons" are demons charismatic or do only "charismatic's" have demons???

I study religions & demonology so, I know my enemy. Thank you for putting these videos out. 🤍🇮🇱

He doesn't look look tired. Why would you say that?

O the demons took the pigs drowned them in the sea? Perhaps to feed Leviathan and the Marine Spirits?

It is a dragon, maybe amphibians, they must breathe air to project fire. And be on land.

Elohim are nature spirits. When you understand the word in the spirit you will realize that this is going on inside the body of christ an the body is many.

Fyi, your title says "Kina shocked" instead of Kinda* shocked. Just letting you know! Interesting episode! Still listening!

Thought it meant sea of people

Ok… Soooo….. Jennifer LeClaire has done teaching on the sneaky squid spirit and the wild ass spirit. IM NOT KIDDING 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Can you please look into these?

Yes in the days of Babylon, the sacrifices of baal from the Pharisees and Israelites destroy them basically

Revelation talks about beasts that get their power from the dragon. Surely this is what we are seeing. Daniel 7 speaks of beasts and the last best loosing it's authority but left to live. Then the authority is given to the people of the saints. Again this is what we see. God passes judgement but the beast is left living and the authority is given to the people of the saints when The Son of Man is exalted and standing before the Father. This has to be before Jesus comes back. Who does Jesus give this kingdom power to? The people of the saints. Who looses authority but is left to live for a season? The kings as explained by the scriptures. With this in mind we can see our involvement in God's plan. Revelation is Daniel 7 being played out in Christ and through His people the church. The people of the saints. Jesus is King

GOD IS SPIRIT, those Who worship him must worship Him in spirit and truth (John 4). So when we are attack, we are attacked in the spirit. We have to remember that there is a spirit behind those evil kings and the spirit behind the creatures that's described in the Bible. GOD deals with us in the spirit. All Scripture is inspired by GOD. We research Hebrew and Greek to find the meaning of what the Scripture is describing. Love in Greek has 4 different meanings. So it's not to change what's the Word is saying, but getting an understanding on how to apply it to my life. Think about it, our everyday living is not the same as the Bible days. The Word doesn't change but thr method does, so I need an understanding.

This creature sounds like a dragon
