Leviathan

pleiades

largely invincible
legendary monster
like dinosaurs extinct?
look at Job 41
lives within the water
lumbering evil beast
leviathan, a whale?

Cool Pleiades poem, Reason. For anyone who does not know, Leviathan is another biblical reference to Satan the Devil. That is why in the Book of Revelations, there is no more sea when God creates a new heaven and new earth. The sea was where Leviathan symbolically dwelt in. There will be more reminders of Satan in the new world. Excellent poem, my friend. Love always.

Now this was different. A unique subject, indeed. I recognized the title from the Bible. Nicely done, Reason! Congrats on your win! Blessings, Kim

Thanks, Kim, appreciate your Pleiades contest series. I look for the unusual theme, especially from the Bible

Brother Poteet, Reason urges me to recognize 7, for reasons galore or behemoth of reasons. Job is one fave book for me, somehow ... Job 19:25 shows he anticipated "my Redeemer lives" so Job would see Him in the flesh! An amazing Scripture (oldest)

Accolades accepted. Thanks for the 7, Yes, that is my favorite verse from Job too. Thanks for the lovely comment with one change, make that Sister Poteet. I really do need to put my picture on my profile.
