Today, we study the Book of Job 41 where the LEVIATHAN was introduced and Almighty God asked CRITICAL QUESTIONS.
Of course, He knows All Things, yet interrogates Mere Mortals – WHY ??
Key Scriptures
Job 41:1-7
“Can You draw out the Leviathan with a Fish hook? (Job 41:1)
Can you put a rope (made) of rushes into his nose? (Job 41:2)
Can you fill his skin with harpoons?

Reflection One
” Yes, We Can Do All Things through Christ”
(Philippians 4:13)
The Bible recorded unusual instances when Almighty God – The All Knowing – Omniscience asked Pertinent Questions of mere Mortals!
Examples:
1. Gen 3:9 ( Adam)
Where are you?
2. Gen.16:8 ( Hagar)
What have you done?
3. Exodus 4:2 ( Moses)
What is in your hand
4. 1 Kg 19:13 ( Elijah)
What are you doing here?
5. Jonah 4: 4 (Jonah)
Do you have a right to be angry?
6. Matthew 16:13 (Disciples)
“Who do men say that I, the Son of Man am”?
7. Luke 24:19 (Road to Emmaus)
He said unto them “What Things”?
Yes, We can !
According to Psalms 103:14, the Bible recorded that “he knows our (mortal) frame; He remembers that we are (merely) dust”
When Omniscience asked Questions, He surely knows the Answers -This implies that Divine Interrogations are for the BENEFIT of Mortals!
YES, WE ARE MERELY DUST BUT THROUGH CHRIST WE CAN DO ALL THINGS !
Hallelujah!!
Reflection Two
“The Great Dragon & The Serpent of Old has lost the Battle”
Job 41:1 mentioned a curious Character :
“THE LEVIATHAN”
The Leviathan is a Typology of Satan, the devil-Job was being reminded that there is DANGEROUS PERSONALTY , FORMIDABLE & SUBTLE ADVERSARY THAT IS INTERESTED IN JOB’S MATTERS.
We should also take Notice of this ADVERSARY
The Good News is that we have Authority over Serpents, Scorpions and over All the Power of the enemy. (Lk 10:19)
The Last Card
More assuring is the Record of Revelation 12:9 that “The Great Dragon was cast out that SERPENT OF OLD called the DEVIL & SATAN, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Conclusion
SATAN IS A DEFEATED FOE!
Prayer
No Weapon formed or fashioned against us will prosper In the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen
(Isaiah 54:17)
