About this Episode
80: Leviathan Prison Planet - The Leviathan is a powerful, monstrous sea creature from biblical texts (Job, Psalms, Isaiah), symbolizing chaos, untamable natural forces, and ultimate evil, often depicted as a multi-headed dragon or serpent that only God can conquer, while the Demiurge (often called Yaldabaoth or Yahweh), in Gnostic sects, is represented as a lesser, arrogant, and often malevolent being who created the flawed material world as a prison, trapping divine sparks, and is antagonistic to the true, supreme God called the Monad. What if the Leviathan works for the Demiurge or what if the Leviathan was the Demiurge?
Come swim with Joel in Leviathan infested waters as he looks at what this powerful creature is through the eyes of Gnosticism. He begins with the Biblical look at the creature and its connection to its Creator. He then looks at the Ophite Cosmogony of how the world began starting with the Bythos all the way down to the “Christ” and the ramifications of this belief system. Finally, Joel brings it all together with what several Gnostic groups think of the Leviathan and if this monster is truly the barrier between us and the Pleroma.
