Biblical Monsters: Leviathan, Behemoth and Ziz

In this video, we will look at three colossal biblical monsters: Leviathan, the ruler of the sea; Behemoth, the lord of the land; and Ziz, the king of birds. Together, they represent the chaotic natural forces of nature.

While some believe that these beasts are based on myths found in ancient Near Eastern religions, others speculate that they could be based on large animals that have gone extinct, or ancient sightings of dinosaur fossils!

The best part about the Bible is that it isn't mythology! 🙌

They were basically dinosaurs....in water, on land, and flying above.

Ziz? I've never heard of that one. How interesting.

With he modernized view that we have on aircraft and submersibles, it can be theorized that Leviathan may have been a craft of some sort, like a mothership, that emits flames and smoke with a hard skin and heart as hard as stone which could be anything but in biblical times had no verbal comparison to things we understand as a command console or rocket propulsion. This can be seen and applied to every historical text that mentions fire breathing snakes, dragons and other mythical beasts. There is still the possibility of it being organic or having existed in some capacity but it may still too be a spaceship for all intents and purposes.

I'm reading my Bible and came across the Leviathan in Psalms 104. I wanted to see a visual interpretation and came across this channel. I didn't realize they were seen as mythological creatures. My favorite is the Behemoth.

[dakotastein]

i think its important to distinguish between "evil" and "chaos"

leviathan isnt an evil creature, rather its a wild and untamable one who yeilds only to God...leviathan is meant to symbolize Gods Ferocity, his might and power.

Behemouth is lonstanding and as trong as any mountain, a reflection of God's unweilding fortitude

and Ziz, the great king of birds whose wings stretch across the sky is a personification of Gods omnipresence, his glory, dominion and athority over all things. (hense its position as a mediator that keeps the other two in check)

Laviathin is breast of the seas. Behemoth is beast of land. Ziz is the beast of the sky.

Nowhere to run or hide.

I learned about all of these from Final Fantasy

The skull of a colossal sea monster has been extracted from the cliffs of the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, UK.

Many myths have these creatures representing the power and nurturing of water, earth and air. Leviathan is represented as a great serpent, behemoth is usually represented as a bull like creature

[bokangmmolotsi]

Reading my bible and came across behemoth. Came to check what it on Behemoth

[siegfriedc]

Behemoth sounds more benevolent than malevolent, based on this description. Makes it harsh to think he eventually got buried during Armageddon.

Okay, maybe you can help me out. I was visiting my mother, who lives in the woods, and had a crazy dream. I was at war, a super soldier fighting, I think Russians in the frozen lands of Russia. My camp gets raided at night during a snow storm, and I somehow ended up escaping. On my way out, a little white pup kept barking at me so I had to grab it, cover its mouth so it doesn't give away my position while I sneak away and take it with me. The damn thing bit me so I let go of its mouth and it starts barking again sending the enemy to my location. I ended up dropping the dog and running but the thing kept following me and I had to kill the thing with my bare hands. I kept running for what seemed like hours until I came upon a random stone building in the snowy forest. As soon as I see this building with a huge, 40' open entrance and giant pillars, I hear movement all around me. Thinking it's the enemy, I run into this building. There were some windows in this one room 60' tall stone building. Through those windows, I see flashes of grey streaking across the openings. I was surrounded by a bunch of, looked like dire wolves. I had my back turned to the entrance when I felt like something was looking at me. I felt a heavy pressure, turned around and fell to a single knee as soon as I looked upon a giant glowing white wolf walking through the entrance of the building. It stood about half of the height of the entrance so around 20' tall. This giant glowing white wolf that brought me to a knee just walked to the right interior side of the doorway and sat there. About 2 seconds later, a pressure many times stronger hit me so hard I fell to both knees and my hands hit the floor. I felt so heavy I could barely hold my head up so I let it stay down because of the strain. It was already hard enough to stay on all 4's. A light started to light up the inside of the building, coming from the entrance. I ended up straining myself to look up and locked eyes with a 50' tall golden wolf with a mane that looks like it's on fire and shining like the sun. It was so tall it had to slightly crouch to enter the building. It walked right up to me and stopped. I couldn't look straight up because the pressure and I couldn't lift even a hand off the ground. It seemed like it was going to say something to me, but then my mom woke me up... do you think you might be able to help me find out who visited me in my dream?
