A Human With Power Over the Dragon – Chaos Dragon E15
BibleProject
Order Through Boundaries, Not Conflict
The presence of dragons in the Bible, particularly a dragon referred to as a tannin, symbolizes the ancient theme of subduing chaos, particularly embodied by the sea. In many mythologies, chaos is represented by a sea dragon that a storm god must battle to establish order. However, the biblical narrative diverges from this conflict; God addresses chaos through communication rather than combat. By placing the sea dragon within defined boundaries of the ocean, God establishes order even amidst ongoing disorder and darkness. This suggests that creation is not devoid of chaos but rather involves creating spaces where life can flourish, exemplified by the garden as a sanctuary within the larger context of chaos.
