Marine Demons

This trail includes hurt, pain, broken marriages, backsliding, shame and destruction. "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." Destruction follows the trail of pride. He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment (Job 41:31) Leviathan lives in the depths. Pride is so deep in man it is difficult to draw him out because he lives so deep within us. Boiling represents restlessness. Humility brings nest. Pride causes restlessness. He maketh a path to shine after him: one would think the deep to be hoary. (Job 41:32) The Taylor translation says, "He leaves a slimy wake of froth behind him. One would think the sea were made of frost." The American Baptist translation says, "Behind him he makes a glistening path." Leviathan also leaves a path in the sea. Wherever Pride goes, he leaves a trail behind. Wherever you look you can see a trail of misery, broken lives and destruction. Do not walk in the path of Pride. It is a path that leads to shame and destruction. Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. (Job 41:33) The Berkeley translation says, "On earth there is not his equal, a creature devoid of fear." The fact is, although Leviathan is represented by an earthly creature such as the crocodile or large sea serpent, we are not dealing with an earthly creature. We are dealing with a spirit, a strongman in the kingdom of darkness. There is no creature on earth that is comparable to this fearless spirit.
