The ancient Hebrews did not start out in Israel. They started out in Egypt where the biggest volcanic eruption of recorded history caused total destruction...Santorini....so big was it it brought down a dynasty in China! They then went off to Midian in Saudi and worshipped Mt Sinai, the volcano...
The whole area including Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Saudi, Ethiopia....'holy' areas where the Abrahamic religions originated or were followed....lies on diverging plates pulling apart and leaving rifts (Suez Canal, Red Sea, Gulf of Aqaba, Dead Sea, Sea of Galilee and all rifts). Rifts contain most...
May I suggest you go through my blog 'Oh My Volcano' properly because then you will see exactly how much research I have done on the subject.
I see you were unable to find a word used in the Bible to describe volcanoes, which is odd considering the 'Holy' Land was volcanic.
You say Mount...
The system of mid-ocean ridges, or submarine volcanic mountain ranges, around the world. Geologists estimate that 75 percent of the molten rocks or magma reaching Earth's surface does so through mid-ocean ridges .

Underwater volcanoes do not produce clouds of ash that could be described as white hair, do not have a very hard outer coating, do move around, can be caught with a hook, do not produce anything that could be described as 'lamps', do talk, can be tethered, can be shot with a spear, do not...
You're not thinking deeply enough. The use of the word 'serpent' is due to snakes being nasty things. They bite, they kill, they attack, they slither, they look slimey, they are frightening. It's all imagery that fits very well the 'thing' that was in the sea that made the sea boil, made the sea...
You seriously expect to find the word 'volcano' in anything on the net other than my blog and the computer games mentioned? No-one 'official' has worked it out yet and explained it publicly. Why would it be written anywhere? This issue seems small but is in fact a Pandora's Box...open this and...
It is a reflection of the mindset of the ancient Hebrews and it is a reflection of Yahweh himself. The ancient Hebrews anthropomorphised underwater volcanoes just as they did land volcanoes, only with very different results...the former becoming part of the enemy set and the latter being...
Psalm 74:14 It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan and gave him as food to the creatures of the desert.
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the...
You are purposely ignoring all the things for the theory and hoping to find something else more to your liking.

Every 'underwater' volcano. Land volcanoes were worshipped. Yahweh was a volcano god. Mount Sinai was a volcano.
This all makes perfect sense as the Leviathan was said to be the arch enemy of Yahweh and arch enemies are usually uncannily similar.
Illogical reasoning given the weighting towards my theory. Go through the entire thread (I suspect you have yet to do that) and decide what is the most likely scenario. Break it down to the bare bones of reality. Imagine the ancient Hebrews living in the volcanic holy land where most eruptions...
A changed mind....what a refreshing change :D
I am breaking new ground with this. No-one else on the net is discussing this theory. It is, however, 'toyed' with by computer game designers. Or is it us who the designers are toying with? I am finding that many new ideas are included in computer...
Job:
1 Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope?
2 Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?
7 Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
The point of the above three verses is that NO...you cannot do...
Google 'Oh My Volcano' and spend a few days going through that. There are many posts regarding volcanic activity throughout the 'Holy' Land. Teeth? Scales? Surely a sea monster would have teeth and scales. Don't all monsters have these things? The Leviathan also had nostrils and smoke came out...
If you are convinced the Leviathan was a crocodile, please state the verses that back up your belief. If you are convinced the Leviathan was a crocodile, you cannot also be convinced the Leviathan is mythological. If you believe the Leviathan was originally mythological (and not a crocodile)...
I wish someone could disable Outhouse's ability to smack his head because variety is the spice of life and he's getting rather bland.

Job 41
19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or...
