Hello Loader 3009;
I`m glad you set 444 encore straight, your right the Bible is a history book, One that he hopes we don`t repeat the same sin`s as the others did.
Now about the Leviathan. Reports of unknown monsters of the deep have been a part of sea lore for hundreds of years, but very little attention has been paid to such tales until recent years. With more and improved scientific methods of investigation, there is growing evidence that they are more than just a product of early sailors imagination, according to even some secular reseachers.
More fascinating still is the apparent connection between fossils of prehistoric marine reptiles and the monsters described in the pages of the Bible....Leviathan that wriggling, twisting dragon...is mentioned in the Old Testament four time. Leviathan is described in detail, in Job chapter 41, as a creature of immense strength. In the Hebrew text, he has terrifying, teeth and scales like rows of shields, closely fastened together and hard as stone. He is a resident of the sea, knowing no fear and apparently immune to all man`s weapons.
Many scholars identify this animal as a crocodile, but as other experts have pointed out, there are several problems with this idea. Although some crocodiles do venture into the coastal area and can swim out to sea, the deep ocean is not their normal habitat. They are found mainly in inland water, where they live in lakes, rivers, swamps and esturaried and breed on the shores. Therefore they would not be described as great beast of the sea (Psalm 104;25-26) Nor are crocodiles so terrifying that no one dares tackle them crocodiles are regularly trapped and killed by native tribes with simple technology
