I think that only God truly knows what the Leviathan is so we should ask Him when we all get to Heaven. Amen

Leviathan...also in those day refered to as a sea monster. I dont beleive they would have refered to a crocodile as a leviathan.

Would have probibly have been one of the "sea dwelling dinosuars".

People have been using hooks to catch crocodiles and aligators for years and im sure they would have been able to kill them in those days, thus I do not beleive this scripture referes to crocodiles.
