It said in Revelations that a great red dragon, otherwise known as Satan will wait for the baby to come out of the woman, to devour it.
So we know that God created all living things, but I'm not sure if dragons, dinasours, insects, flies are part of His creation.
I don't think it's the miracles that people don't want to see. It's the creator part.
Do you believe the story of Jonah is a fable?
I remember one pastor who thought this way.
The point I am getting at is that the Leviathan is mentioned next to other normal animals you are aware of.
If you take offense to me pointing that at to you, [/QUOTE
I never said that.
But you are merely taking offense to the knowledge of God's Word

ISIL is the Islamic end-time entity prophesied as the Leviathan that the LORD punishes in the end.
It has two heads, I think it does anyway.
The dragon is one, ISIL is the other...
Psalm 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
My thinking is that the two heads are described here...
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent,(ISIL) even leviathan that crooked serpent;(dragon) and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
There are 'two' leviathans that get punished. We know the serpent is the dragon and his names are Satan and Lucifer.
ISIL, they've become very popular. They have a magazine that most Christians know nothing about.

This creature represents more than one thing. Certain qualities are attributed to it that are evident in ISIL. This is the dragon, the serpent, Satan, and some sort of 'end-time entity’ that's difficult to take out. I say this creature is the offspring of Islam, i.e. “Babylon the Great,” and the people of ISIL inspired by Satan. AND MAYBE OTHER TERRORIST GROUPS WHO ARE JIHADIST FOREIGN FIGHTERS.
"Job 41:33 " Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear."
Job 41:25a When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid:...
Job 41:25b... by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
Job 41:34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
ISIS believes they are the Leviathan that has been awakened.
Job 3:8 May those curse it who curse the day, Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan.
Let them express it that curse the day who are ready to awaken the Leviathan.
...they curse the day 5 times a day.
These are ISIS recruits...children.
The point is that the Leviathan is just as much an animal as the other animals because they are listed alongside each other.
God did not change into talking about mythological creatures.
That wouldn't make any sense.
uh huh.
And? Did I say the Leviathan was a mythological creature? Uh, no I didn't.
And? Did I say anything about the Leviathan doesn't make sense? Uh, no I didn't.

That's just the thing - Leviathan is not a real creature. Not a fire breathing flying creature, anyway. Those are just figments of man's imagination. Whales and crocodiles and elephants are real though, which could be what those verses are referring to. I can concede ground on that, but not some mythical creature.
Dragons are not and have never been real. Dinosaurs were real though. But a dinosaur can't be a dragon because man and dinosaurs never lived on the planet at the same time.
So, no, I don't believe that there's going to be some literal dragon sweeping down from the sky at some point. That's best left to fantasy authors and the makers of Skyrim. Alduin isn't real, thankfully.

What do you think are the "heads" that are broken?

Sorry. There are so many here who deny that the Leviathan is a real creature, it is hard to see the who believes in it and who doesn't. By your push that this is a some kind of prophecy today (Which I do not agree with), I was thinking you were trying to ignore the reality of this creature.
So you are saying Leviathan is a real creature?
That this creature literally breathes fire,
We aren't told how many heads it has, only that it seems like two. One head for sure signifies the Satan, the other signifies ISIL, but could represent all the sects of Islam in its terror network.
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent,(ISIS)...
...even leviathan that crooked serpent; (Satan the Dragon) and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
There are 'two' leviathans that get punished. This happens at the consummation of the age when God takes care of business and locks up Satan and his hordes as well as destroy ISIS and all of Islam. We know the serpent is the dragon and his names are Satan and Lucifer and associated with the "KING OF BABYLON."
Don't think of ISIL as just a bunch of bad guys that operate out of Iraq.
ISIS the leviathan claims that their success are blessings due to their allegiance to Allah. That’s how such a small group of jihadist are able to obtain large cities and land. Their numbers have since been reduced in the Arab World, and now specialize in foreign fighters.
"Part of the allure of the Islamic State is the perception that its victories are due to blessing from God. In the Islamic State's logic, how else does one explain how a small, insignificant band of mujahideen (jihadi warriors) has managed to turn itself into an army, capture large swaths of territory and elude the mighty forces of the United States, Great Britain, France, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and other world powers?"
Yes.
Yes fire can literally come forth out of a creatures nostrils.
The how is by what he eats, and the gases of decomposition formed which are flammable.
What I believe is:
God created ALL animals -
Animals - are of different KINDS, some require AIR, some don't. Some can FLY, some don't. Some ONLY exist in WATER. Some ONLY exist on DRY LAND. Some do both.
Job 40
[15] Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
[16] Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
[17] He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
[18] His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
[19] He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
[20] Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
[21] He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
[22] The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
[23] Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
[24] He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
Job 41
Job.41
[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 iron? 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.
Mankind - In a boat on the sea, on land, near a water's edge or high on the mountains; COULD OBSERVE THE HUGE BEASTS - and a man could SEE that a man is dwarfed in comparing a mans SIZE and a mans POWER to such BEASTS, (regardless if on sea, land or high mountains).
The description IS ABOUT POWER. POWER of something greater than mankind and the POWER of That something, that mankind CAN NOT overcome with mankinds POWER.
The POWER of such BEASTS is what IS compared to the POWER of Satan -
Satan's POWER is greater than mankind, regardless, if man is on land, sea, high in the mountains.
Satan's POWER is so GREAT, that mankind CAN NOT overcome Satan's POWER.
However ALL POWER comes from God.
And while Satan's has been given great Power over the Earth & Seas ie the World;
Gods POWER "in a man" ie the Holy Spirit, IS the ONLY POWER that can KEEP mankind FROM Satan's great Power.
And the urgent message IS;
Currently while a man is living upon the earth; he can RECEIVE Gods Holy Spirit.
And in the future The giving of Gods POWER (HS) will cease.
And in the future The POWER "left" on Earth will be that of Satan, which will over take,
men left on earth -
And THEN God will clean up the mess, of all upon and within the earth that has stood against Him.
God Bless,
