In that day the LORD with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea. Isaiah 27:1 ESV
In that day, the Lord says by His prophet the actions that He will take. We cannot point to a date on the calendar, but by faith we can know that it will come to pass. By our knowledge that we think we know in this world, this verse for today comes way out of a fantasy novel. Serpent, dragon, sword, and slayage - just what we look for in the fantasy genre. However, as we read through the Bible, the Lord does not seem to be given to writing fantasy. Many of His prophecies have come to pass, while others we await with eager anticipation or a bit of anxious concern. The prophecy where His Father's house has many mansions - eager anticipation, the one about 100-lb hailstones - anxious concern. Leviathan - definitely one to let the Lord God handle with His sword.
Trusting in Him!
