Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. He beholdeth all high things; he is a king over the children of pride (Job 41:33-34).
The biblical Leviathan has its origins in the ancient mythology of a primaeval ‘chaos monster’. More powerful indeed than any other creature!
The philosopher Thomas Hobbes took the name to refer to the State, because of its power to do more for individuals than they could do for themselves. Yet there is something wonderful and unruly in this chapter’s parade of unicorn, Leviathan and Behemoth. There are things in God’s world that seem beyond all control, measure or reason. This is part of God’s answer to a questioning Job.

‘Every little effort you make will strengthen your children toward a comfortable familiarity with King James English. It may not happen overnight, but be encouraged that the human mind is adaptable and can rise to most challenges. You'll soon find great pleasure in that "fine roll of Bible English," and find the KJV a familiar friend who unlocks many once-mysterious literary passageways for you. Your children will begin making those delightful "Aha!" connections with KJV allusions in their books (indeed, everywhere!) . . . buried treasure which otherwise would have passed by unclaimed.’

And they brought young children to him that he should touch them: and his disciples and rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. Matthew – 10.13 – 10.15
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter in the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Matthew 18
