Why did God destroy Leviathan? Have you ever wondered why God created the Leviathan and then destroyed it? Stay with me and I’ll explain this fascinating biblical mystery.
The Leviathan is a creature of legend, recognized for centuries as a monstrous and terrifying sea beast. Mentioned in the Old Testament, it’s often associated with Satan. Creation of Leviathan According to rabbinical texts, God created the Leviathan on the fifth day of creation. This mighty sea creature was so formidable that God subdued it with the help of the archangel Gabriel, a multi-headed dragon. Some ancient texts describe the Leviathan as a multi-headed dragon, while others say there were originally two Leviathans. God, realizing the potential danger if these creatures joined forces, killed one of them to protect the world, the Leviathan and its mate.
Hebrew legends tell us that the Leviathan had a mate. God created both a male and a female Leviathan, but he killed the female and fed her to the righteous. This drastic action was necessary because, if the Leviathans were allowed to procreate, their offspring could have overwhelmed the world. 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 NIV This story is a powerful reminder of God’s sovereignty and the lengths He goes to protect His creation. Drop an Amen if you agree. And pass this to someone who needs it. God bless.
