Yeah Calvin, you have also brought up some interesting points,
Cue the Twilight Zone music........,
They have found stories, tales, myths about dragons in almost ever ancient culture, so what if Leviathan was a real, flying, fire breathing dragon............., personally I don't have a problem with that, if man can imagine it my God can create it, ...I just wish that if it is true there were some around today, how cool!
However, back to reality, this is what we read in our KJV Bibles concerning Leviathan,
His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal. Job 41:15
This is the first place the Hebrew word aw-feek' is translated scales and it says they are his pride, using the law of first mentioned and plug that into Acts,
And immediately there fell from his (Saul/Paul) eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. Act 9:18
Interesting, history tells us Saul/Paul was being groomed by Gamaliel to be the High Priest of Israel, as an unregenerate Jew he was probably very prideful, ...could it have been his encounter on the Damascus Road with the risen Lord, the awful reality that he was responsible for the deaths of many of the Lord's children, that so humbled him that it was as if his pride fell from his eyes as if it were visible scales?
From Saul the prideful Pharisee to Paul the least of the Apostles, could that have been behind him writing,
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: 2 Co 5:16
Blessings,
Gene
