The Lord Talks to Job About the Leviathan |
Job 41:1-34 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks] |
[Can] you draw out [the] Leviathan with [a] hook? Or [catch] his tongue with a cord, which you [let] down? [Can] you put [a] hook into his nose? Or bore through his jaw with a thorn? Will he make many [requests] to you? Will he speak soft, [a.k.a. pleasant,] words to you? Will he make a covenant, [a.k.a. contract,] with you? |
[Will] you take him [like you take] a servant forever? [Will] you play with him, [like] with a bird? Or [will] you [tie] him [up] for your maidens? Shall [your] companions make a banquet of him? Shall they part, [a.k.a. divide,] [his meat from] him, among the merchants? |
[Can] you fill his skin with barbed [iron] [harpoons?] Or [fill] his head with [fishing] spears? [Psalm 74:14 You [broke] the heads of leviathan in pieces, & gave him to the people inhabiting the wilderness [for] meat, [a.k.a. food.] |
Lay your hand upon him, & remember [how he] [battles] [,against you] & do [it] no more. [Look,] the hope of [catching] [Leviathan] is vain, [a.k.a. worthless.] [Wouldn't] [someone] be [downcast,] even at the [very] sight of [Leviathan?] |
[No one] is so fierce [to] dare [wake] him up. Then, who is able to stand before Me? Who has [preceded] Me, that I should repay him? [Whatever] is under the whole heaven is Mine. [Psalm 33:6-8 The heavens were made by the Word of the Lord. And all the host, [a.k.a. stars & constellations,] of [heaven] [were created] by the breath of His mouth. He [gathers] the waters of the sea together, [like a] heap. [The Lord God lays] up the [deep] in storehouses. Let all the earth fear, [a.k.a. respect,] the Lord. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.] |
I won't conceal [Leviathan's] parts, nor his power, nor his [beautiful proportions.] Who can [find] [Leviathan's] face, [among the scales, like someone looks to find] his garment? Or who can come to him with his double bridle? Who can open [his mouth, like] the doors of his face? His teeth are [terrifying all around.] |
His scales are his pride, shut up [close] together [like] with a seal [that] [closes.] One is so [close] to another, [so] that no air can come between them. They are joined one to another, & they stick together, [so] that they can't be [separated.] |
[During] [Leviathan's sneezing,] a light [shines] [out.] And his eyes, & eyelids [rise up] like the [sunrise] of the morning. Burning lamps [shine] out of [Leviathan's] mouth, & sparks of fire leap out. Smoke [goes] out of his nostrils, [like] [steam goes] out of a [boiling] pot or caldron. His breath [starts] coals [on fire,] & a flame [goes] out of his mouth. |
His neck [remains Leviathan's] strength, & sorrow is turned into joy before him. The [scales] of his [skin] are joined together. They, themselves are firm, & can't be moved. His heart is [hard like a rock.] [Yes] as hard [like] a piece of the [lower] millstone [for grinding grain.] |
When [Leviathan raises] himself up, the mighty are afraid, [because] of [the waves] [breaking,] & they purify, [a.k.a. cleanse,] themselves. [Isaiah 1:16 Wash [yourselves,] & make [yourself] clean. Put away the evil of your [actions] from [in front of My] eyes; & [stop doing] evil.] |
[He, who lays [in wait to ambush] [Leviathan] can't hold [onto a:] sword, spear, dart, [or] a [javelin.] [Since] [Leviathan regards] iron [like it was] straw, & brass [like] rotten wood. The [arrows] can't make [Leviathan] flee. [And rocks from slings] are turned into stubble [by] him. Darts are [considered like] stubble, & [Leviathan laughs] at the shaking of a spear. |
Sharp [rocks] are under [Leviathan,] [but he is unharmed.] He [spreads] [the] sharp, pointed [scales] upon the [deep,] [muddy waters.] He [makes] the deep [waters to bubble,] [like a boiling] pot. He [makes] the sea [ooze,] like a pot of ointment, [leaving] a path to shine after him. |
[Someone] would think the deep [waters' waves had white hair.] There is [nothing similar] [to] [Leviathan] upon [all] the earth, who is made without fear. [Leviathan sees] all the high things, & he is the king over all the children of pride. [Isaiah 2:11-12 The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, & the [arrogance] of man shall be bowed down. And the Lord Alone shall be exalted [on] that day. For the day of the Lord of Hosts shall be upon everyone [who] is proud & lofty, & upon everyone [who] is lifted up, [a.k.a. magnified,] & he shall be brought low.] |
And I heard, but [didn't understand.] Then, I said, O my Lord, What shall be the end of these things? And He said, Go [on] your way, Daniel: for the Words are closed up and sealed till the time of the End. Daniel 12:8-9 KJV
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible:
About the Author of the Blogsite, Not the Author of the Bible: Since the Lord had it on my heart to write this blog, I was uncertain of how to accomplish this, mindful of Revelation 22:18-19, which says that nobody is to add to, or to take away from what was written in the Bible. After lots of prayerful contemplation, the Lord had it on my heart that I’m not to change the meaning of what is written in the Bible. He has also shown ways to add to people’s understating of that meaning, without altering the meaning, by putting that info within [brackets]. This is primarily accomplished with the KJV Bible and lots of prayers, but at times, BibleGateway.com, Biblehub.com, NIV Bible, Webster Dictionary, and other internet resources, as needed.

About Understanding the Bible:
Understanding the Bible: After reading Isaiah 28:10 many times over the years and not totally understanding it, it recently became apparent to me that the Lord God has this passage as the means for understanding the Bible.
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little. Isaiah 28:10 KJV.
Being prayerful about this passage, and looking up 'precept' in the Webster's Dictionary, it gave this passage a whole new meaning, once 'commandment' is substituted for 'precept'. Within brackets are additional words the Lord had on my heart to aid in understanding the meaning.
For commandment must be [built up] upon commandment; commandment upon commandment; line upon line, line upon line; [developing understanding] here a little, and there a little.
The Table Format:
The Table Format: I was overwhelmed with how to explain the process for determining if someone had leprosy in Leviticus 13, which seemed very complicated. After praying, "Lord, if this is difficult for me to understand after reading it many times, how can this be explained to others?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was for me to put it into a vertical chart to visually see the process. This made it much easier for me to follow the progression. After doing so, I prayed, "Lord, how can this be conveyed to readers, so that they can understand this process?" The thought the Lord God had on my heart was to put it within the lines of a table. Being a stiff-necked, stubborn person, as it's often called in the Bible, I prayed, asking the Lord God if He's sure that's really what He wanted me to do? I reluctantly put Leviticus 13 into a table format. When I read this difficult leprosy process within a table format, it suddenly became easier for me to understand. That's because it builds line upon line, as explained in the Understanding the Bible section. Shortly after that, the Lord God had it on my heart, to put all of The Books of the Bible in Smaller Chunks within a table format, to aid in understanding, line upon line.
