Episode 167: Who is Leviathan in Scripture?

Theology
Written By The Postscript Show

This week we are having a conversation regarding the true identity of the biblical character Leviathan with Dr. Chris Best, who is a professor of Biblical Studies and Missiology at Living Faith Bible Institute. The creature has often eluded the attention of scholars and theologians. While there are many theories regarding this dragon monster of the sea, we delve into a study revealing the not only his scriptural identity and his fate, but also why it matters to the believer's life. In this episode we answer the questions: How did Leviathan come to exist, why does he operate incognito today, why should the believer care, and how should the believer behave with the biblical data regarding this character?

Comparing passages in Job 41, Psalms 74, Revelation 12, and Revelation 20 we identify Leviathan by name and description, revealing God's purpose in exposing his identity before his ultimate destruction.
