In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.Isaiah 27:1
God will take the matter into his own hands. He has a sore- and great- and strong sword- wherewith to do execution upon them when the measure of their iniquity is full and their day has come to f...all- The Lord with his sword- that cruel one- and that great one- and that strong one-shall punish this unwieldy- this unruly criminal- and it shall be capital punishment- He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea- for the wages of his sin is death- This shall not only be a prevention of his doing further mischief-as the slaying of a wild beast- but a just punishment for the mischief he has done- as the putting of a traitor or rebel to death- God has a strong sword for the doing of this- variety of judgments sufficient to humble the proudest and break the most powerful of his enemies- and he will do it when the day of execution comes- In that day he will punish- his day which is coming-Ps. 37:13. This is applicable to the spiritual victories obtained by our Lord Jesus over the powers of darkness- He not only disarmed- spoiled- and cast out- the prince of this world- but with his strong sword- the virtue of his death and the preaching of his gospel- he does and will destroy him that had the power of death- that is- the devil- that great leviathan- that old serpent- the dragon- He shall be bound- that he may not deceive the nations- and that is a punishment to him (Rev. 20:2, 3)- and at length-for deceiving the nations- he shall be cast into the lake of fire, Rev. 20:10-Oh what a day that will be!!-
