“In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.”
Isaiah 27:1 KJV
Isaiah saw in that day of the Lord Yahweh, that He will mercilessly wield His massive, mighty sword and punish Leviathan, the swift, slithering serpent. He will slay the dragon of the sea - Leviathan, the twisting serpent. This crooked serpent is a serpent of confusion. Satan always twists and distorts the words of God to deceive humanity. As the serpent beguiled Eve, so he subtly corrupts the minds from the simplicity that is in Christ. But the sword of the Lord is merciless to the enemies of Christ. The massive, mighty sword of the Lord is the message of the Cross. It is mighty to save and will thwart every principality and power. This is the power of the Cross that not only did Christ die, and was buried but that He rose again from the tomb disarming all powers and principalities and making an open shame of them. Hosanna! Hallelujah to the Lamb!
