The Leviathan (there seems to have been only one) was both a sea monster and a chaos monster, which seems to have been based on ancient Semitic chaos stories. Chaos monster were frequently considered to have been involved in the creation of the world. The Book of Job and Psalms refer to the great Leviathan. Job 41:25 says "even the other gods (KJV: the mighty) fear Leviathan". The Leviathan was a great adversary, whom God seems to have defeated after a mighty struggle.

In another Midrash, God gave Adam and Eve magic clothes made out of the skin of Leviathan, that made the wearer invisible and victorious over all his enemies. These came down by inheritance to Noah, but Ham stole them out of the ark and passed them on to his son Cush, who handed them on to his son, Nimrod. Nimrod became the most powerful ruler in the world.

Sentence for leviathan?

That would all depend on the context behind the design, as Leviathan has two standard meanings. Firstly, Leviathan is one of the seven princes of hell in standard demonology text. Secondly, leviathans are standard creatures in naval and sailor mythology so they have a pretty iconic of old sea stories about killer squids, serpents, etc.


Is Leviathan Bead blast yoyo good if so why and do you own it?

The original Leviathan is not beadblasted if I'm not mistaken. I have one of the Shinji Saito special edition Leviathans and I love it. I love full size yo-yo's that are not too heavy but have a definite presence in the hand. For my style and preferences I've always really loved the Leviathan.


Where can you find dragons today?

No one has yet found concrete evidence that dragons still exist today, probably because it's so hard to find them. Dense rainforests and mountain peaks are likely hiding places, and leviathans may exist beneath the ocean. Some speculate that the Loch Ness Monster is a dragon.


What is an example sentence with the word leviathan in it?

That is one nasty leviathan, I think it just ate my leg!!! ANSWER #2 The word 'leviathan' can be used as an noun or an adjective and is descriptive of any large 'monster' especially of the sea eg. a whale. The word is of Hebrew origin which did and still does refer to monsters of the sea, particularly the whale. If you have read the novel, 'Moby Dick', I can give a sentence as requested: Captain Abab was obsessed and spent a large part of his life in pursuit of the leviathan Moby Dick. In modern times, one may think about those people who go 'whale watching'. Another sentence: People go out to sea in charter boats hoping to catch a glimpse of the leviathans of the deep, the whales.


Did dinosaurs live with humans in the bible?

No. While the Bible mentions such beasts as "leviathans" and "behemoths" it is highly improbable that those were dinosaurs, because this directly violates strong scientific evidence that humans and dinosaurs live 65 million years apart. In fact, it would have been impossible for humans to arise without the dinosaurs becoming extinct first. Since dinosaurs dominated the Earth in the past, the mammals of the time were forced to remain small and insignificant, and only when they died out could mammals grow and diversify and for humans to eventually evolve. It is likely that the large beasts mentioned in the Bible were some other form of large animal, because it would have been impossible for dinosaurs and humans to successfully (and peacefully) coexist.


What happens to castiel in season 7?

ANSWER: SPOILERS!At the end of Season 6, Castiel (after lying to the boys about teaming up with Crowley, The King of Hell, to find how to open the door to Purgatory) absorbs all of the souls from Purgatory and becomes a god. Since "God" hasn't been around for years (and is hanging out on earth somewhere, refusing to get involved anymore), Cass takes over running Heaven.Castiel becomes a vengeful God, killing thousands of angels who sided against him in his war against Raphael. He also starts killing false prophets, hypocrite preachers, KKK members and, basically bad people. He does do nice things as well, like heal the sick and the blind who are good people. During this time he and Dean are not talking. Castiel was angry that they didn't believe in him, but let them live because he said killing them was pointless - but he also refuses to help Sam. The wall Death installed in his mind to block all memory of being tortured by Lucifer and Michael i their cage in hell, was crumbling and it was driving him insane. Castiel had promised to help Sam, but because the boys didn't support him, he refused, knowing it would eventually kill Sam.When he starts losing control and massacring people, Sam and Dean try to get Death to kill Castiel, but he refuses. Eventually Castiel realizes he can't control the monsters inside of him (Purgatory is where demons, vampires and monsters go after they die), and asks Sam and Dean for help. He knows he's dying, the monsters are tearing his vessel apart.Dean, Bobby and Sam help Castiel reopen the portal. Cass releases all of the souls back into Purgatory, but once the portal is closed, he realizes that the worst monsters of all - Leviathans - hung on and he was too weak to stop them. They kill Castiel, and knowing his vessel will explode , they walk his body into a reservoir, where he explodes under water.15 episodes later we find out that about one month after that happened, Castiel was resurrected (God is the only one that can resurrect Angels, so this implies that he's still watching and only interfering when he wants to). Castiel's resurrection has left him without memory of his past deeds, what seems to be a coping device as he was a brutal god. Not knowing what he is, a woman finds him (right after he walked out of the water, naked) and marries him(?!) thinking he is a faith healer because he can heel people by touch.Dean, not knowing this faith healer is Cas, seeks him out as Sam is completely insane, with only moments of lucidity - and his body is dying from lack of sleep. Meg finds out about Cas and tags along. Shortly thereafter Cas is reminded that he's an angel and his memories (and the pain that goes with them) return. He tries to save Sam and rebuild the wall in his mind, but he can't, so he sacrifices his own mental health and takes all of the pain and fear associated with Sam's time in hell, and takes it on as his own. No more hallucinations for Sam, but Castiel becomes comatose.When he revives, a few episodes later, it is as if he had a nervous breakdown. Cass can't take stress, doesn't like confrontation and refuses to help Sam and Dean smite the Leviathans. Eventually, because Dean stops being angry with him for waiting so long to help Sam and bringing the Leviathans into the world in the first place, Cass agrees to help them take out Dick Roman, the leader of the Leviathans. When the kill Dick, he explodes and once the shockwave and goo that's left settle, Dean and Castiel have disappeared. They ended up being to close to Dick when he exploded and went to Purgatory with him (although we never see him again).And THAT is Castiel storyline in Season 7.

What happens at the end of Metroid prime 3?

[MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING (obviously)]Samus and the galactic military people (you know the ones, I forgot the name of the organisation) find a way of creating those worm-holes the leviathan seeds use to get around. They use these to travel to the sourse of the seeds.The source is a sentient planet they call Phaze which is entirely covered in phazon. The planet is guarded by a large number of space pirates. the Space army people deal with them while Samus lands on the planet. When on the surface Samus is constantly in Hypermode because of the huge amounts of phazon. She travels deep below the surface and fights Dark Samus, then the Aurora Unit stolen from the cosmo-federation ship. the Aurora Unit is entirely corrupted and once defeated all the phazon in the universe becomes inert.I think that Phaze was attempting to make other planets like itself, which would send their own leviathans to infect other planets, thus phazon would propergate throuought the universe.Alternatively Dark Samus gained control of the phazon in Metroid Prime 3, so perhaps it was her doing.


History of multinational corporation?

The view that global firms were becoming divorced from the nation state began to be widely expressed as the pace of globalization accelerated from the 1980s. The consequences of the growi ng global integration of international production, the international dispersion of key functions such as tech nological innovation within multinational systems, the fact that some multinationals employ far greater numbers of people and sell far more products a nd services outside their home economy than within all have all encouraged the hypothesis of a "borderless world," is the now classic words of Ken' ichi Ohmae, in 1990. 1 The limitations of the "borderless world" hypothesis have been much discussed in recent years. It is evident that the importance of geography has not disappeared, and that trade and investment flows some strong locational patterns which indicate that the world is more regi onalized than globalized. Alan Rugman has described the "regionalization" of production, and Pankaj Ghemawat has talked of "semi-globalization." 2 However the awesome size a nd international scope of a handful of global corporations has encouraged many writers to reflect how they have outgrown and dwarf national states. Alfred Chandler and Bruce Mazlish have described them as the new Leviathans which "increasingly challenges the power of the nation-states and of regional entities." 3 4 A forceful exponent of th is view was the American political scientist Robert Reich. In The Work of Nations he put the case for "the coming irrelevance of corporate nationality." Reich noted that many of the best known names in US corporate history - CBS Records, Columbia Pictures, American Can, Pillsbury - were now foreign-owned, and went on to suggest that those who expressed fears of this foreign take-over were guilty of "outmoded thinking." Th e reason was that while in the past there were recognizable US corpor ations whose interests could be identified with those of the United States, contemporary multinationals bore only a superficial resemblance to their mid-twentieth century counterparts


Is dark samus on ssbb?

oh boy hope your ready for this Dark Samus was a metroid that lived on Tallon 4 when the Leviathan struck the planet the metroid was attracted to the Leviathan . When the metroid managed to get in side it became radiated by the mass quantity's of phazon it mutated in to a being that is by far a pure essence of phazon for a few years it consumed the phazon soon enough its appetite grew strong enough to consume the core as well granting this metroid the power to produce phazon at will. After a while the space pirates came to tallon 4 and began mining procedures as they mined they stumbled across metroid prime the captured it and began studies. These studies showed that Metroid Prime was indeed a metroid at one time but the phazon consumption has altered its evolution into metroid prime (dubbed by the space pirates). While in captivity metroid prime sensed a large batch of phazon in the room and broke free to consume it Metroid Prime also managed to integrate the pirates security drones weapon in to its being now fused at a cellular level the weapons are now a part of metroid prime. After a while Metroid Prime gained full control over these weapons and broke free to return to the Leviathan and consume more Phazon. Later Samus Aran made it to the chamber where Metroid Prime was completing its evolution. Sensing her it began to attack. After a furious battle Samus was able to land one shot threw the armor and it its face stumbling across the room in pain it fell into a lower cavern where Samus found its body melting, just as she begins to relax the core of metroid prime comes out for a final attack. Samus utilizes the Phazon beam to overload Metroid Primes unstable chemistry to destroy its body with its body destroyed the core essence of the Metroid is all that's left. With its phazon core over loading the leviathans cavern begins to collapse knowing this Metroid Prime make one desperate attempt at Samus by shooting a tendril at her and try's to pull her in Metroid Prime grabs her phazon suit instead and dissolves into a puddle. As Samus escapes and leaves the planet Metroid primes core cellular structure forms around the suit and emerges as Dark Samus A Human, Chozo, Metroid and Phazon hybrid


What is the difference between the megalodon and the great white shark?

Great white sharks are considered, by many ichthyiologists and paleontologist alike, to be more closely related to the mako shark than to the megalodon, as megalodon is often considered to be of the genus carcharocles as opposed to carcharodon, the genus of both the mako and the great white. They were originally considered to be members of the same genus secondary to similarities in their teeth, and both were thought to share a common ancestor, genus palaeocarcharodon. Many scientists now believe that the evolutionary paths of the two species were in fact divergent, the megalodon evolving from the Otodus obliquus, and the great white from the Isurus hastalis, or broad tooth mako. In addition, megalodon was thought to grow anywhere from 43 ft. to 75 ft. long, and weigh approximately 47 metric tons to 70 metric tons. Comparatively, the typical great white shark is approximately 13-20 ft long with a weight range, note the use of kg as opposed to tons here, of 680-1900 kg. There have been reports of individual sharks, mainly unconfirmed, being up to 37 ft long. Most of these seem to have been reported earlier in the 20th century, and in some cases, estimates done from measurements based upon surviving photographs of these leviathans have shown that they were often much smaller than reported. The most notable difference between the two species is, of course, the fact that the Great White has survived, and megalodon lost it's battle against extinction 1.5 million years ago during the pleistocene epoch. There are some notable differences in dentition and physiology as well, and wikipedia has articles on both species with a great attached bibliography for more information. = =
