    Is the Leviathan waking a good thing or a bad thing? It’s a biblical thing right? They seem to be critical of the secret world government’s strategy to freeze it to death with an artificial snow storm.

      These guys are so far out from mainstream that you can’t really know what the hell they’re thinking. That said, Leviathan isn’t actually an end times figure. It’s a sea monster mentioned in the Old Testament in various points. The most famous passage is Psalm 74, a song of praise to God, which contains a reference to Him saying Leviathan, which appears to be a metaphor for taming the waters of the Earth

      Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

      You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the sea monsters[d] on the waters.

      You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

      You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams.

      Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.

      You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter.

      Some people believe that there is a reference to Leviathan in Revelation but it’s not direct. Anyway, these people aren’t following established Biblical lore, they’re totally brain melted from 24/7 conspiracy content on Facebook and YouTube.

      I think it’s supposed to eat sinners. According to the bible it will be killed by God but not by freezing it.
