He explained that the prophets have the idea that we eat the sea-monsters when the messianic time arrived. The text you provide here does not see anything about messianic time
I think that's midrash, not prophetic, but you're right; there is this idea that the Leviathan and Behemoth will kill each other, and then we will eat their flesh in a succah made from the skin of the Leviathan. (And then we'll bentsh and at the end I'll go "ואמרו אמן start again" and the world will begin all over again, and it'll all be my fault. :o))
nor that the people in the wilderness are necessarily Jewish. I think you are right. Those sources seem not to be Jewish sources.
Pththp! You can't get more Jewish than the Book of Psalms! What Roni is saying, I think, is that the culture of the Israelites in First Temple times was very different to Jewish culture nowadays.
