In the Depths
The leviathan is found in many religions and mythologies as a mysterious creature of the oceans.In Isaiah 27:1 he is called the “wriggling serpent” who will be killed at the end of time.
In Job 41:1–34 the leviathan is described as an ancient, fearsome and powerful creature: “Any hopeof subduing him is false; the mere sight of him is overpowering…He makes the depths churn like aboiling cauldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment. Behind him he leaves a glistening wake;one would think the deep had white hair. Nothing on earth is his equal—a creature without fear. Helooks down on all that are haughty; he is king over all that are proud.”

Jonah prays and repentswithin the whale, and after three days he is vomited up onto dry land, and is transformed into theprophet who preaches the Word of God.
Lessons of the Leviathan
The leviathan is the shadow of the Christ, called Lucifer, which means “light-bearer”. Although itmay seem strange, we each have our own individual Lucifer, who is a legitimate part of our Being.The Lucifer’s purpose is to test us, to tempt us, to help us in the purification process of the initiaticpath.
