Today: [Isaiah 27] Leviathan, the Piercing Serpent. In this chapter Isaiah steps back into the deepest spiritual perspective yet seen in the book of Isaiah thus far. He speaks of a time when Leviathan, the king of all the children of pride (according to Job), is ultimately brought to judgment in the earth. Leviathan is a serpent that swims in the troubled waters of unredeemed humanity. His scales are his pernicious opinions that refuse to yield to the reality of God’s truth. Unbelievers are completely blinded by pride and believers as well if we are not observant can be infected by this influence. The promise of Isaiah 27 is that this influence will be dealt with and that we will be brought to a place that we will blossom and bud and see the fruits of righteousness fill all the earth.
