The Leviathan
Strong's says the leviathan is,
figuratively, the constellation of the dragon; also as a symbol of Babylon: leviathan, mourning.
What does this creature represent in the end-times? I suppose at one time it could have been a literal or even mythical creature, but this creature seems to represent the Babylonians of the last days, as well as the dragon, the serpent who is Satan, and some other end-time entity. The two heads of the Leviathan may also represent the two major sects of Islam, and/or Mecca and Medina. I say this creature is the offspring of Islam, i.e. Babylon the Great and the people of ISIL inspired by Satan.
Psalms 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
The wilderness is the desert. The heads of the Leviathan could be Mecca and Medina, or the Sunni and Shia sects of Islam. It sounds as if when Christ returns, they will dismantle the mosques and possibly use the material to build homes in the desert? Just a thought! In Revelation 17 John is taken into the wilderness, better understood as a desert wilderness where Mecca and Medina reside.
Job lived some 2,700 or so years ago and is using the only terminology available to him at that time, to describe 'air born' weapons some 2,700 years in the future.
"When it rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before its thrashing. The sword that reaches it has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin."
Dart means in verse 26....
quarry, quarrying, breaking out (of stones) missile, dart
"The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon."
In verse 29 the word dart is a different word and the only place the word is used in the OT. It means...
a weapon perhaps a club or mace. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
Job 41:28-29 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.In that passage,
In Isaiah 27:1 the prophecy about the leviathan is yet future for it is destroyed by the Lord.
Isaiah 27:1 "In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea."
For behold, the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain. (Isaiah 26:21)
The word Leviathan is used 5-6 times in the bible.
Gesenius says about the leviathan in Isaiah 27:1,
"Leviathan is the symbol of the hostile kingdom of Babylon." He says in Job 38 it's "a serpent of a larger kind." Gesenius also says the Leviathan is a "larger than normal serpent and attached to Babylon." In Psalm 74:14 Leviathan is used to describe a fierce enemy.
Leviathan is associated with a serpent and a dragon indicating its evil nature. The L in ISIL stands for, 'leviathan.'
The leviathan; An end-time entity.
Isaiah 26:20-21 "Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast."
