Some teach that leviathan is....a crocodile and, in a way he/they are. Please consider this:
Job 41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down? (33-34) Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride."
Psalm 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
Psalm 104:25-27 So is this great and wide sea, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts. There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom Thou hast made to play therein. These wait all upon Thee; That Thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
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.
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works and tribulation, and poverty (but thou art rich), and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Levi-athan says they are Levi....pretends to be teachers of God's children but.... :o

- That alone sheds light on who leviathan is!
Psalm 74:14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
- Meat is the Word. This is the false word...pieces of leviathan, given to those in the wilderness. We are taken to the wilderness (which is in our minds) and there we are fed...both God's truth and "pieces of leviathan." We will make a choice on who we follow.
Psalm 104:25-27 So is this great and wide sea, Wherein are things creeping innumerable, Both small and great beasts. There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom Thou hast made to play therein. These wait all upon Thee; That Thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
- Creeping things aren't swimming things. This "great and wide sea" is symbolic of humanity, not the ocean. God made leviathan to play in humanity and he is king of the "children of pride." God allows leviathan to test us. Will we consume false doctrine or not?
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.
- We know who the piercing serpent (the one that pierced our Savior) as well as who the dragon is.....
Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
- So leviathan IS the serpent, IS the dragon and he/they have been cast out for they play in the world NOW deceiving whomever they can.
- Who are those that were appointed by God to teach His children? The tribe of Levi. Who deceives the world? Levi-athan.
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works and tribulation, and poverty (but thou art rich), and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Levi-athan says they are Levi....pretends to be teachers of God's children but.... :o
