Tu confregisti capita Leviathan, dedisti eum escam monstris maris. (Psalms 74:14)
In Job chapter 41, Leviathan is presented as an abominable creature - and "his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning" - which no man can defeat, only God:
"Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook?...Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron...He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood".
Isaiah 27:1 prophesied: "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 dragon that is in the sea".
But according to Psalms 74:14, Leviathan is already crushed, and was given as food in the wilderness.
Isaiah 14:12 compares Leviathan to Lucifer and the Antichrist, the serpent of old, see Revelation 12:9.
Extraordinary images from Google Earth confirm Biblical accounts if verified.
The skeletal remains of the legendary sea serpent, Leviathan, or if it is Behemoth, since it has been found at the mountains, is many times larger than any skeleton ever discovered before, and lies one mile from the base of Jabal Al Lawz in Saudi Arabia.
Jabal Al Lawz is a mountain that some believe is the Biblical Mount Sinai.
Leviathan's, or Behemoth's, size is indeed enormous, extending 1.900 feet from head to tail.
Leviathan is prominent in Messianic literature in connection with the advent of Christ.
But since Leviathan was a female monster who lived in the ocean, maybe what has been found could be the male called Behemoth, because Behemoth lived east of the garden of Eden.
Of Behemoth it is said: "Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play", see Job 40:20.
Leviathan is often used as a symbol of the enemies of Israel, and represents the climax of the destruction of everything that threatens Israel.
Leviathan may have had 7 heads, compare with the first beast of Revelation 13:1.
But the second beast of Revelation 13:11, makes an allusion to Behemoth.
"Et proiectus est draco ille magnus, serpens antiquus, qui vocatur Diabolus et Satanas, qui seducit universum orbem; proiectus est in terram, et angeli eius cum illo missi sunt", Revelation 12:9.

Leviathan
Revelation, chapter 17 tells us that the ten horns of this sea beast. We now understand that this sea beast is a metaphor, not a real animal, not a real
fire breathing dragon. If you do enough study on leviathan, then you will realize the importance of its heads and horns and only then will the key turn to reveal prophecy in the books of Daniel and Revelation.
