Leviathan Means "Hating Levi"

This is part of the parabolic analogy where God reveals "the devil" to Job allegorically for the benefit of posterity. "Behemoth" in chapter 40 also reveals certain aspects of the power of the devil, but we will deal with Leviathan here. Leviathan means "hating Levi", the priesthood.

Verse 1. Leviathan is one of many aliases for "the devil". He is also called the "serpent" for abusing the snake in Eden; the "beast" for possessing animals; "man of sin" for possessing men; "son of perdition" as the scapegoat for sin created specifically for that purpose in God's education program. Finally they are to be erased by fire. Devils are really non-living "tools", evil puppets like a mad "Pinocchio". They have "musical instruments" built-in for song and speech! The Kingdom of Darkness is a kingdom of robotic "puppets" with power to replicate in God's teaching program! "The image of the Beast" is a demonic offspring even as a man is the image and offspring of God!

Ezekiel 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

KJV 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.

KJV Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: 8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Verse 9. Devils are invisible to human eyes and cannot be seen by men. There is a time when God will show men the state of devils as they are.

KJV Isaiah 14:16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;

Ezekiel 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more.

When men die, the devils hanging on to their bodies fall back into the pit. As Jesus put it, "Two men shall be in one bed. The one (human spirit) shall be taken and the other one left" (as in Lazarus and the rich man, where devils on Lazarus were called "rich" because Lazarus was God's "jewel". Lazarus was taken to Heaven and his demonic "rich men" were left in the pit). With that delineation in mind, this is what the angel told Ezra about death:

II Esdras 7:78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the ungodly wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 79 And if it (demonic spirit) is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear God -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.

The point here is that one needs all the missing puzzle pieces to SEE the complete picture-concept God intends. When one dies, God shows the newly risen spirits devils falling in circles in the "bottomless pit". When men finally see devils they are astounded!

Verse 10. Men are afraid to stir devils, and those who think they can rebuke Satan by quoting Michael's words are wasting their breath. The devil will move for Michael, but he will not move for men especially the "church". "Pharaoh refuses to let men go"!

Daniel 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

All those beneath the claws of the Dragon are in no position to challenge him. Those who have placed their faith and trust in preachers and churches have picked the wrong shepherd. "The Lord" is not beneath the claws of the Dragon. The scriptures cannot be broken and the saints have a problem!

Verse 14 Devils are invisible to men. Hence, "No man can see the doors of his face". Because men cannot see devils, they have boasted about their prowess at controlling humanity.

Isaiah 29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? 16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

Isaiah 10:13 For he saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man: 14 And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. 15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth therewith? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

Regarding Babylon (Satan's wife) and her daughters, the Spirit said the following:

KJV Isaiah 47:1 Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. 2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. 3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man. 4 As for our redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. 5 Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms. 6 I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke. 7 And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. 8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: 9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. 10 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. 11 Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.

Verse 15. Just as Gabriel carries God's scales of judgment, devils have their own scales by which they "weigh words" used to deceive man. Devils are proud of their ability to deceive men. Eve was the first victim and from that beginning they have succeeded in "deceiving the whole world" and also the church!

Revelation 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

Daniel 5:5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 27 Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

Countering Gabriel is the work of the kingdom of darkness against men.

Hosea 12:7 He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.

Verse 16. "No air can come between his scales" means devils' deceitful words have absolutely no wisdom! Air and wind are the same. Those borne of the spirit are like the wind. You cannot tell where it came from or where it is going.

John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Verses 18,19. These references express devils' ability to convince men they are receiving wisdom, understanding, and great light, when it is really "darkness"! This is how he weaseled in on the preachers and captured the churches.

2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Matthew 7: 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Verses 20,21. Fire and coals in this allegory refer to the use of incendiary words. Words may be used to make men think they are being fed truth. Devils have cooked up many deceitful sermons through church doctrines and preachers. The one that really stinks places most of humanity in the lake of fire with devils. Coals of fire also refer to kindling wrath and even violence. The crucifixion of Jesus comes to mind kindled by the wrath of the Pharisees and the Jewish priests at the unction of devils.

Verse 24. Devils are hard-hearted like stone. When devils control man's thinking, he is described spiritually as being "stoney" hearted. Truth removes stoney inflexibility. A man may be reasoned with when the Holy Spirit gives him a heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: 20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

Verse 25. The nature of our warfare with devils is that they are out to make anyone fall who consciously tries to find and serve God. Sin is the transgression of the law and devils are astute a making men fall short of holiness. God acknowledges their skill.

Psalm 14:2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the Lord. 5 There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Religions of all kinds in every nation and culture are formed in an effort to stop overt and secret disgraces by devils against all human beings. Men use religion as a poultice to purge themselves of what they deem to be violations against God and their fellow man.

Verses 26-30. You cannot fight devils with weapons men use against themselves. God is using this line of thought to emphasize the invisibility of devils, who pass through all that is solid matter to us. Human weapons cannot harm them nor touch them.

Verse 31. The "deep" and the "sea" refer to the masses of humanity. "The waters of the sea are multitudes of nations, kindreds, tongues, and people", Revelation 17:15. An example of devils making the sea boil is the turbulence of the nations engaged in WWII. The ointment of the apothecary soothes and heals. This is the work of the United Nations and peace loving organizations. So devils can do both things, make war and pursue peace.

Verses 32-34. Devils are not afraid of God or man. They willingly blaspheme God and corrupt His children. They are not afraid of the preachers, nor the churches or their doctrines. Pride was a big part of Satan's downfall and he injects that into men who could care less about God or truth. Evil is facilitated when devils convince men to cast aside the Word of God for their ideas.

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Luke 10:8 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

Isaiah 30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: 9 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord: 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. 12 Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: 13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

KJV Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

Isaiah 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

I Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

Titus 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.

II Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

You cannot "correct" and improve that which is perfect using your human thought and reasoning, Psalm 50:16-22; Isaiah 55:8-10; Matthew 5:43-48; I Corinthians 13:8-12. The Atonement work that God and Jesus did is perfect. God demands that you not "impute sins to men", when He sent Jesus to be born in flesh and to experience the agony of the cross in crucifixion to take all sin away, John 1:29; 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. I have no personal problem except with human ignorance and arrogance.

Do you have the problem of "imputing sins to men" which God and Christ took away in your church doctrine? Matthew 15:8-9. If you "impute the sins of men" to them which God and Christ took away, then you are working against (anti-) Christ's work that you love to talk about every Christmas and Easter! You resist the universal effect of the Atonement and deny it! Leviticus 16:15-22. Jesus did the real Atonement! If you hold any man's sins against him, you carry the "mark of the Beast in your forehead" as an advocate for the "ACCUSER of the brethren"! Revelation 12:10, 13:15-16. All those who "impute sins to men", when the Supreme Judge sent Jesus to be born in flesh and to die on the cross specifically to take away the sins of the world, are ANTI-Christ! Isaiah 53:1-6; John 1:29; 2 Corinthians 5:18-19. Yes! YOU ARE ANTI-CHRIST! If you want to see the anti-Christ, go and look in the mirror!

The sins of all humanity including the sins of those not yet born to commit them are ALREADY on the head of the "scapegoat". No recent doctrinal concoction can reverse this!

Devils have preachers and churches under their claws, and they have made a blasphemous "joke" out of Atonement. "The devil made me do it" is now a mocking phrase in the vernacular of Americans to harden them in doubt and unbelief. The Kingdom of Darkness is the kingdom of scapegoats and Jesus took all our sins upon himself first freeing humanity from blame, guilt and responsibility for them. He put them all on devils. No doctrine can undo the Atonement and re-place sins on men. Any spirit attempting to do and teach this is a liar and it is very anti-Christ! No spirit from Heaven will re -impute sins to man!

Here is Paul's wisdom based upon his application of atonement principles. Notice how his understanding removes blame and responsibility for sin off man.

Romans 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Thoughts and ideas which attempt to reverse Atonement and make men responsible for their sins are imperfect and demonic! "Beloved! Believe not every spirit, but try the spirits for many false prophets are gone out into the world". Beware of words you hear and dreams you see.

2 Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Read this: KJV Numbers 23:18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: 19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. 22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. 23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

If the Supreme Judge Himself does not "sees sin in men", are YOU a more superior judge than our own Father to "see sin" in men by re-imputing them to humanity? Is your wisdom perfected by attempting to reverse the Atonement? If your answer is, "No"! Then drop the lies and destroy them and let's go forward!
