Dragons in the Bible

Dragons are a recurring theme in the Bible, appearing in various parts and translations. They are described as chaos creatures and can be represented by different words like Tanin, Leviathan, and Nakhash. These creatures are associated with the sea and the wilderness, realms where humans are not naturally at home. They are depicted as dangerous, semi-hidden, and out of humans' control. Additionally, dragons in the Bible are sometimes linked to spiritual beings, demons, and the adversary. Jesus and his followers are portrayed as having authority over snakes and scorpions, symbolizing their power over these chaotic elements. The book of Revelation describes a dramatic battle between a dragon and a woman, representing the conflict between chaos and the kingdom of God. The biblical authors use well-known imagery and storylines to convey unique ideas about good and evil, God, and reality.
