Part 4. Book of John continued. All created things and beings, even the devil himself, were made by Yeshua the Messiah.
JOHN 1:3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
We already discussed this partially in The Beginning.
Now that I live in the country, I can go out at night and see the twinkling stars. It is both thrilling and magnificent! I stand in awe of the Creator of all!
BOOK OF JOB
(Some rabbis believe that Moses most likely wrote the Book of Job as it is recorded in the Talmud (Baba Bathra). He wanted to encourage the Hebrew children as they were living in desperate slavery in Egypt. For indeed, sometimes the saints will also suffer!)
When Job was in awful agony, the LORD humbled Job when He posed this rhetorical question:
JOB 38:31 “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades
or loose the cords of Orion?
[Pleiades is a star cluster in the Taurus constellation. Orion is a constellation.]
Yes, everything on earth, everything in the universe, everything in heavens was made through Yeshua the Creator. Therefore, Yeshua is the true God.
JOHN 1:3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
The LORD also asserted:
JOB 38:4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
7 when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
BEHEMOTH
From the biggest to the smallest creature, the LORD God made them all. So why did the LORD use behemoth for this illustration?
JOB 40: 15 (NKJV) “Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; He eats grass like an ox.
On the sixth day of creation, God created mammals and man. (“Day” could be compared to a time period, not necessarily a 24-hour period. It would be like: saying: “In the days of your father”.)
Some say that “behemoth” could be a hippopotamus, an elephant, a dinosaur, an ox or an extinct animal. One extinct animal that is likely is the “baluchitherium”, or “Beast of Baluchi”. This beast is a huge, hornless rhinoceros whose fossils were discovered in Iran in 1910. It is probably the largest land mammal the LORD has ever made. (Dinosaurs are reptiles, not mammals.)
JOB 40:19 He [behemoth] is the first of the ways of God; Only He who made him can bring near His sword.
“This is explained to mean, ‘Only God can attack behemoth with success and slay him; man is powerless to do so’” (Pulpit Commentary)
Only God Almighty can attack this mammoth monster! That’s why I would opt for the extinct mammal to be the behemoth. Personally, I don’t think this is a hippopotamus or an elephant because of this Scripture:
JOB 40:17a He moves his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
The tail (H2180 “zanab”) of a hippo couldn’t be swung like a cedar! It’s too tiny! Even if you take “zanab” to mean hindquarters, this verse still doesn’t seem to fit. The size of the tail of the extinct “beast” would be about the length of a man. That would clobber one if per chance one got in its way.
However, this is not a point of contention. We debate about so many points in Scripture but the most important thing is that you must be born-again of the Spirit to enter the Kingdom of God! That means one must accept Yeshua the Messiah as your Savior. However, one doesn’t need to be right about everything, though the Holy Spirit will lead us into truth little by little! I imagine we will all be partially wrong in some non-essential matters on Scripture! We should be all growing spiritually. But we must receive Yeshua as our Messiah!
LEVIATHAN
JOB 41:1 “Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?
Behemoth and Leviathan were two creatures that could not be tamed by man. Only by God Almighty.
The word “leviathan” in the Hebrew letters is wrapped around the Sigil of Baphomet, which is the official insignia of the Church of Satan. Leviathan represents Satan.
ISA 27:1 (ESV) In that day the LORD with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea.
We know this from this passage: leviathan is a serpent (H5175) “nachash” and a “dragon” or “sea monster” (H8577 tannin). The KJV calls it a “dragon” also, but somehow in the NKJV it was changed to “reptile”. However, while dragons are reptiles, this goes along with this verse:
REV 20:2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
CHILDREN OF PRIDE or CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE?
This is your choice, to be a child of pride or a child of the promise, as we are endowed with free will!
JOB 41:33 On earth there is nothing like him [Leviathan],
Which is made without fear.
34 He beholds every high thing;
He is king over all the children of pride.”
Leviathan is “king over all the children of pride”. Satan fell because of pride – he wanted to be God. If you want to act like God and run your own life without being submissive to God, you are a child of pride.
PROV 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
That’s why it is necessary to humbly receive the LORD as your Savior. No one, except the LORD can tame this chaotic devil. Leviathan(Satan) creates chaos. Job was reminded of this when the LORD spoke out of the whirlwind (JOB 40:6) for God used these two creatures to make an illustration. It was the devil doing this but God had permitted it. God used it to prove to the devil that Job was indeed faithful.
We have problems, too, and some of them are caused by the devil, but sometimes it’s more our stupidity! But maybe God wants to prove to the devil that you are faithful like Job!
Just a side note: I once had a vision that I was standing by the ugly devil himself and the only thing between me was a sheet of plexiglas for a shield. The plexiglas represented the Holy Spirit. I knew that I would be safe, but it was shocking to see the devil so very close!
Ultimately, Job did repent and did admit, “I know that you can do all things“ (JOB 42:2 ESV), even taming Leviathan! God did restore more than what was taken by the devil. If you are born-again of the Spirit, God will restore ours, either here on earth or in heaven, for we are “children of the promise” of eternal life. God is absolutely sovereign yet He takes care of His children, having this promise:
