The Chaos Dragon in Biblical Imagery
In this podcast episode, the concept of the Chaos Dragon is explored as a symbol used in the Bible to represent spiritual evil that corrupts creation. The Chaos Dragon is featured in the prophetic scrolls of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. Jeremiah and Ezekiel both lived through the Babylonian captivity, and as a result, Babylon and Egypt are prominently mentioned in their writings as Chaos Dragons. The biblical authors use cosmic imagery to describe the rise and fall of nations, equating them to agents of death and chaos. This symbolic approach may seem strange to modern readers, but it reflects the biblical view of unseen forces at work behind human power structures. These forces are intertwined with human evil, and their ultimate defeat brings hope for new creation.
