In this episode, we explore one of the most mysterious figures in Scripture—Leviathan—and how Martin Luther understood it. By walking through the book of Job, the Psalms, Isaiah, and Luther’s reflections, we see Leviathan not as a puzzle to decode but as a witness to God’s sovereignty, freedom, and hidden majesty.
Luther insisted that Leviathan confronts us with a God who cannot be managed, predicted, or tamed. The point is not to identify Leviathan but to be humbled by the God who commands what we cannot comprehend. When God answers Job out of the whirlwind, He does not offer explanations—He reveals His overwhelming lordship over all creation, including its most terrifying mysteries.
This episode unpacks:
• What Scripture reveals about Leviathan
• How Luther interprets this creature in Job and the Psalms
• Leviathan as a rebuke to human pride, speculation, and rationalism
• How God uses Leviathan to silence theodicies
• Why the hidden God terrifies—but the revealed God comforts
Join us as we explore how Leviathan exposes the limits of human understanding and drives us to trust not in answers but in the God who has revealed Himself in Christ.
