At the beginning of Scripture, we are told of the creation of the world. In six days, God lays the foundations of the earth, fills it with animals, and finally creates man before resting from his creation. However, over the years of studying Scripture, I have occasionally noticed descriptions of an epic battle that took place before God created humanity. My religion teacher also briefly alluded to this creation battle in a few class sessions, and it is briefly discussed in our class book. However, my teacher's guidance was not substantial enough for me and the textbook was written by a renowned Bible critic. So I could not take into account its theological implications. So I decided to study this for myself. The descriptions of this battle are so at odds with Genesis 1 that I decided to collect them into a list and study them individually. And, to my surprise, my studies ultimately led to the eschatology of Revelation. Leviathan. Although several passages refer to the beast called Leviathan (many using it as an epithet for a pagan nation), only two appear to describe the battle between God and the monster. In Psalm 74:12-14, God is said to have “parted the sea,” “the heads of sea monsters on the waters,” and “crushed the heads of Leviathan.” This all refers to the defeat of Leviathan in the past. But in Isaiah 27:1, it is said that in the future God “will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the crooked serpent” and that he “will kill the dragon that is in the sea”. Rahab. Not to be confused with the harlot of Jericho, Rahab is a Hebrew word meaning "proud", used as the name of Leviathan (and again, it is used as an epithet for p...... middle of paper. ....tan coming out of the deep, that is, from the deep, from the sea [Revelation 9.1,11; 12.17] Just as Leviathan was the sea dragon, the dragon Satan also sends “l "water" to destroy the disciples of God [Revelation 12.15; 17.1,15-17] Satan even has many heads, just like the leviathan [Psalm 74.12-14] However, just as the Scripture promises that God. "would kill the dragon that is in the sea" [Isaiah 27.1], so the Scriptures also promise that the dragon Satan would be destroyed in the end [Revelation 20.10] And, just as Leviathan/Rahab was considered synonymous with the. chaotic sea, likewise we also see that after the defeat of the dragon Satan, the chaotic sea is absent from the new creation [Revelation 21.1]. In other words, in the new creation there will be no one to challenge. God. All who live forever will love God, eternally victorious.
