Behemoth....Christ, the humble servant of God.

[rwc109]

[ Did anyone read about Christ, humbled to serve as-it-were like an ox, gentle in service but strong and with potential for wrath , the chief of the ways of God, with the sword of perfect truth of God in his mouth, that could make people speechless with a look, and peirce through the snares of the scribes and Pharisees? ]

"......
Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
.........
Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
........
He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
........
He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares."

[I would be surprised if one cannot see Christ pre-figured in this scripture -Job chapter 40]

 

[ZiSunka]

Are you saying that Christ is a created being?

I'd think so from the above reference:
Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee ; he eateth grass as an ox.

I can't see Christ "pre-figured" here; can you explain how you do?

 

[rwc109]

I think Behemoth stands for the support for our Father through the witness of Christ ....as much as for what Christ
stands for , rather than the being of Christ... Equally Leviathan is the support and what satans[adversaries] stand for, rather than the beings themselves.
The contrast between Job 40 and 41 should be enough to convince you of the meaning, but the deeper truths come from study of the individual words referring to their characteristics [just look up the other Hebrew occurreces in the Bible of the words ..FreeBible.com has a free downloadable engine and text for doing this quickly and easily for instance]

I don't see how. Your thesis makes no sense to me. Please explain it in a logical manner so I can understand why you think that a behdmouth is a type of Christ.
