On August 12th, 2018, while praying, I saw a sandy beach, where I often see the LORD JESUS in our visits. This time I seemed to be alone, and was standing in the sand on the edge of the ocean. The water was calm and only a few minor waves were lapping up towards me.
When I looked up over the ocean, I saw in the distance, a huge serpent monster. It was swimming from the right to the left, totally unaware of me. Though I was standing far off, I could see that it was almost black, had a very bumpy skin.. I saw the head, 3 humps and a tail. After it was out of my sight, I then heard these words:
MESSAGE:
"The serpent is on the move looking to destroy all that he can. He stealthily slithers his way into peoples' lives, though they know it not. His mission is to come to destroy and kill. His mission is to steal from you all that is good. He moves secretly among MY people, hoping to derail their very faith.
I warn people to stand up against his wiling ways. Stand firm upon the ROCK -- for I AM the ROCK of Gibraltar. Stand firm and do not waiver. Resist and he will have to flee.
Continue to pray for discernment, so you may know where he lies in your midst. He uses those around you...sometimes your closet alley will try to bring you down. Know his cunning ways -- you can do that through asking the HOLY SPIRIT to reveal to you this darkness. I will also reveal, through dreams, words and visions. Pay heed what I show you and do not walk away, like some who look in the mirror and the forget what they see.
These are treacherous times, like no other. Arm yourself in the SPIRIT, for this is the only way you can fight the snares and assignments of satan. For a short time I allow testing to come from the enemy -- but it shall be short and swift. PASS the test and you will move up to the next level with ME. FAIL and we will try again the test for another day.
I hear the prayers of MY beloveds on bended knee and I will answer in due time. MY ways are not your ways, so MY answers aren't always what you expect. Don't lose heart, because I am there for you, and will accomplish in you all that needs to done to secure your place in MY kingdom.
I am not far away, but right here with you. You have not been forsaken or abandoned. It is just the opposite because I love you with an everlasting love.
Have faith and do not give up hope!
Your Savior,
JESUS"
After I received the message the LORD prompted me to do a little study on Leviathan, the ancient serpent from the Bible. What I discovered is that there is a literal serpent in Ancient times that was a sea creature. But like most things, there is always a corresponding spiritual meaning that is just as real as the physical.
The whole chapter of Job 41 talks about Leviathan and ends with this verse:
"He beholds every high thing;
He is king over all the children of pride" Job 41:34
This verse shows us the spiritual aspect of this Leviathan spirit. It is the very spirit of satan, the deceiving serpent, who's biggest sin was pride:
"You said in your heart, “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.] 14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” Isaiah 14:13-14
Brothers and sisters, we must remember that 'pride' is one of the greatest sins!
St. Augustine (354-430 AD) said:
"Pride is the commencement of all sin."
In the end times, this mighty serpent with many heads, comes OUT OF THE SEA and takes his position as the BEAST.
"The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name." Revelation 13:1
He will be fully empowered with the satan's attributes and power to deceive the whole world. However, his end is sure as GOD will punish him for all of eternity:
"In that day,
the Lord will punish with his sword— his fierce, great and powerful sword— Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea." Isaiah 27:1
"And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever." Revelation 20:10

1 Peter 5:8-11 The Message (MSG)
He Gets the Last Word
8-11 Keep a cool head. Stay alert. The Devil is poised to pounce, and would like nothing better than to catch you napping. Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world. So keep a firm grip on the faith. The suffering won’t last forever. It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ—eternal and glorious plans they are!—will have you put together and on your feet for good. He gets the last word; yes, he does.
