The Sea Dragon Represents Chaos and Destruction

In the story of the Bible, the sea dragon is a symbol of chaos, death, and destruction. It takes on many forms, from the serpent tempting Adam and Eve to the voice in our heads urging us to harm others. However, Yahweh is the dragon slayer and wants to give humans power over the dragon as well. The danger of the sea dragon is explored in the story of Job, where he experiences immense suffering and loss. This raises important questions about our relationship with God and whether we serve Him for His own sake or for personal gain.
