The bible is indeed a world of the strange and mysterious when it
comes to the variety of creatures that are presented in its texts.
These often times serve as images of good versus evil, or order
versus chaos. Flat and narrowly myopic literal readings of the
bible that at times lacks for imagination and creative insight to
the bible's occasional and amazingly metaphorical maze fall far
short of what is needed to appreciate the full depth of the
biblical world's imagery. Therefore this work explores the meaning
of the bible's mysterious creatures with an emphasis on three
creatures that all appear in the book of the prophet Isaiah:
Lucifer (Isa 14:12), Leviathan (Isa 27:1), and Lilith (Isa 34:14).
These mysterious creatures of the bible live on and can both
inspire and cause fear. It is a marvelous mixed world of biblical
metaphor and realism to be found in the likes of Lucifer,
Leviathan, Lilith and the rest of the mysterious creatures that
make a biblical appearance.
