"Question: "What is the behemoth?"

Answer: The behemoth is a large animal mentioned in Job 40:15–24 as God addresses Job. God’s description of this animal focuses on its great size and strength in comparison to Job’s smallness and human frailty. Modern language has picked up on the biblical description and uses the word behemoth to mean “anything of monstrous size or power.”

The way the behemoth is described in Job 40 gives us the idea that this animal, familiar to Job, was an unstoppable, fearless creature. It’s impossible to identify what species the behemoth is, but we do know this: the behemoth is a plant-eater (Job 40:15) that lives near water (verses 21–23). It is at home even in a flooded, raging river (verse 23). The behemoth is very strong and muscular (verses 16, 18); in fact, “it ranks first among the works of God” (verse 19), and only its Creator can master it. The behemoth has a massive tail that “sways like a cedar” (verse 17). Hunting the behemoth is futile, because it cannot be captured (verse 24).

Some commentators identify the behemoth as a hippopotamus, a rhinoceros, or an elephant. However, the description of its cedar-like tail in Job 40:17 hardly fits the stubby or rope-like tails of those animals. Another theory is that Job 40 describes a type of dinosaur such as a diplodocus or an apatosaurus. Such sauropods were the largest of all land animals (ten times heavier than elephants), were marsh-loving plant-eaters, had tails like trees, and could truly be called “kings” of the animals.

The Bible teaches that animals, which must have included Behemoth, were created on the same day as man (Genesis 1:24–27; Job 40:15). We don’t know when the dinosaurs became extinct, and it’s scripturally possible that some still remained in Job’s day, which was sometime between Genesis 11 (the tower of Babel) and Genesis 12 (the call of Abraham).

As Job sought to justify himself and demand an answer from God concerning his troubles, God shows up in the whirlwind (Job 38:1) and speaks directly to Job. In the end, it is God who does the questioning: “Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me” (Job 38:3).

To help Job remember his place in the world, God points him to two of the mightiest creatures: the behemoth on land and the leviathan in the sea. These animals were incredibly powerful and frightening to behold. They were no one’s pets—except for God’s. The pride and glory of man paled in comparison to the dreadful, untamable strength of the behemoth and the leviathan. How much more humble is man in God’s presence? And that’s the point. Neither Job nor anyone else has the right to criticize God’s work. The One who created Behemoth is worthy of our reverence, awe, and worship. “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!” (Job 40:2)."

"The depravity of man is at once the most empirically verifiable reality but at the same time the most intellectually resisted fact.”

― Malcolm Muggeridge

If there are competing models for a crime, who is and isn't guilty, should one not hear out both sides before coming to a final conclusion, at the very least?
You might be very biased as I might be as well, all may be; mirrors and reflection, to see the imperfection, through what also might not be perfect, but nonetheless gives a clearer view... Individuals have muddied lens'/bias; there is no reasonable way to deny it. Mob mentality, sheep, buffalo, herds, going along with the flow, easier...

The American mind simply has not come to a realization of the evil which has been introduced into our midst.
It rejects even the assumption that human creatures could espouse a philosophy which must ultimately destroy all that is good and decent.” -J. Edgar Hoover

Free speech, Capitalism, and Vaccine decisions; what makes free speech and Cap better than the alternative? It ACCEPTS imperfection as a part of reality, yet offers a way to push THROUGH it, gives a field for the possibility to see light IN the darkness, rather than claiming one is already IN the light; it lets imperfection exist, SO THAT something better can go further than what the alternative would do(stasis, hindering free thought, seeing the imperfections of the current-accepted system/truth claims)

*“The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”

― Ayn Rand

"I've always thought of capitalism as better than socialism, but have jokingly, and seriously, said, JUST that it's better than communism/socialism and so on. Man has fallen; ANY system we try to make, will be imperfect, will not be optimal, has the ability for corruption at any given moment."

Our goal as Christian in this life is not to be happy or even healthy(as #1 priority); it's about pointing people to The Truth/him.
