Chaos and the Cosmos: An Astronaut Interview – Chaos Dragon E19
BibleProject
Symbolism of sunlight, chaos, and order
The sunlight is perceived differently in different contexts, symbolizing order and life within the atmosphere but as a deadly laser outside of that order. Dragons and wild oceans are seen as symbols of chaos that threaten order and life, reflecting political oppression or the collapse of order in the Bible. At a metaphysical level, the creation depicted in Genesis 1 would collapse back into chaos if left to itself, indicating that it is God who orders and continues to order reality. The inherent tendency towards disorder within the world is represented by the sea as non-being, emphasizing the need for continuous order and sustenance to prevent chaos.
