Dragon symbolism in ancient Near East

The Sea Dragon is a common symbol in the ancient Near East, representing chaos and death. It is mentioned in the first mention of the Sea Dragon in the Bible, on page one, where God creates the Sea Dragon on day four as He fills the seas with various creatures. The Sea Dragon and stars are different ways of talking about the chaos and disorder that exist in the world. They are not rivals of God, but rivals of creation and order.
