The Evolution of Satan and Leviathan in Scripture

This chapter examines the historical and theological evolution of the concept of Satan and the Leviathan within the Hebrew Bible, focusing on the tensions between divine authority and adversarial figures. It analyzes how biblical narratives depict chaos, tyranny, and the relationship between prophecy and monarchy, particularly in the context of Antiochus IV Epiphanes. The discussion also explores the symbolic representations of these characters and their implications for understanding good, evil, and power in both religious and political frameworks.
