Iron & Myth Podcast: Leviathan, Behemoth, the Sea and Chaos

I was on the Iron and Myth podcast again. This one is going to fascinate you.

IS CHAOS a symbol of disorder, or is it, as certain passages in the Bible suggest, an entity?

Back this month for another in our Iron and Myth series are Brian Godawa (www.godawa.com), author of Leviathan and Behemoth, Pastor Doug Van Dorn (www.douglasvandorn.com), author of Giants: Sons of the Gods, and Dr. Judd Burton (www.burtonbeyond.com), author of Interview with the Giant: Ethnohistorical Notes on the Nephilim.

We discuss the various ways chaos is described in the Bible (Leviathan, Rahab, a multi-headed sea dragon, and the sea itself), the apparent struggle to subdue chaos in scripture and in pagan cultures of the ancient world, and the disturbing connection between chaos and the modern UFO phenomenon.

Leviathan & Behemoth: Real or Symbolic? An in-depth Bible study of these Chaos Monsters in the Bible

I just published a new 80 page booklet of a detailed Bible study of these two massive mysterious creatures in Scripture.

If you have been reading my research through the years, you know I have written on these monsters in several of my books.

This new booklet is for sale, at a low price as always, in both ebook and paperback.

In previous posts, I talked about how the Bible subverted Ba’al the storm god and Leviathan, the sea dragon of chaos. Scripture redeems pagan imagination by appropriating imagery well known to Israel’s neighbors and reinvesting it with new meaning that supports its own worldview. There is another mythical creature that shows up in scripture as a chaos creature: Behemoth. Continue reading
