Leviathan's story has been a source of curiosity among many Christians and non-believers. Ever since it was expressed in the pages of the Bible from the beginning of its creation. Leviathan is known as a terrifying primitive being that ruled all other creatures in the sea. There are various explanations about the origin and purpose of the creature in history. But most agree that Leviathan has a dangerous and terrible destructive power.

Who is Leviathan?

Leviathan is known as an enormous sea monster, one of the original creations of Yahweh (Christian god). There were several other creatures of equal power created. But Leviathan was known to be the most dangerous of all. There are many different theories as to what inspired Leviathan tales. Most of these are centered around showing the supreme power of the creator.

It is also possible that Leviathan has been adapted to the Christian religion as a way of facilitating the conversion of people from other cultures to Christianity. This is a popular theory because of ancient myths and legends of cultures that predate Christianity and speak of a powerful sea serpent who overcame a benevolent guardian deity. This theory also causes some to wonder whether the Leviathan story was inspired by a real creature interpreted differently in various religions and cultures.

How Was Leviathan Born?

Leviathan is thought to have been created as one of the first creatures and is one of three primitive beings who could have great power on earth. Behemoth (a bull-like creature) was given dominion over the land. Ziz (a dragon-like creature) was given the right to rule over the heavens. Finally, Leviathan, among the sea monsters, was offered sovereignty over all seas. Besides, the Mediterranean would be his home. The mighty Leviathan was thought to be the most powerful of these three creatures. This is probably due to marine-related hazards. Behemoth and Ziz are also known to be peaceful creatures while Leviathan is known to be destructive.

In the beginning, there were the so-called two Leviathans. One of them was male and one was female. They were created to accompany each other in the seas. However, as time went on, it became clear that both creatures could not be allowed to survive. This caused the Leviathan monster to lose its gentle nature and become a creature with great destructive power. With his snake-like body and dragon-like body, he continued to evoke fear.
