A Quiet Threat Waiting to Hatch
Cockatrice Egg is a Common Dragon Being from the Alpha Age, costing 1 faith, with 0 strength and 3 hope. It may not attack, but its presence carries weight, hinting at what lies beneath the surface. A card of hidden danger, it invites the opponent to crush it… but not without consequence.
The Egg That Brings Death
Isaiah speaks of the egg of the cockatrice, an image full of danger before it ever hatches. This symbol reveals a truth deep within humanity’s condition: sin doesn’t just exist in action, it begins in seed form. Like a silent egg, hidden and waiting, sin grows beneath the surface. When fully developed, it brings destruction and separation from God.
The cockatrice represents the spiritual danger of a corrupted heart. Scripture says, “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” – James 1:15. That’s the story of fallen man, desire, disobedience, and death. The law, while holy, only makes this worse. It reveals sin, defines it, and gives it strength to accuse and condemn.
This card's verse is Isaiah 59:5:
"They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper."
But even in that dark picture, a plan of grace was already forming. God knew the danger. He knew the curse. And He prepared an answer from the beginning.
The New Birth Through Christ
Jesus came to break the chain of sin and death. He did not come to reform the egg, He came to crush it. On the cross, He bore the full weight of what sin conceives. The sting of the serpent, the power of the law, and the curse of death, all fell upon Him. “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us…” – Galatians 3:13.
Now in Christ, there is a new kind of birth. Not one of eggs hatching vipers, but of new life born of the Spirit. “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible…” – 1 Peter 1:23. We are no longer shaped by the law of sin and death, but sealed by grace and raised in righteousness.
Believer, you don’t carry the egg of death anymore. You carry the Spirit of life. You are not waiting for destruction, you are filled with hope. Walk in that freedom. Live as one who is born from above.
