Yeah, yeah. And establishing chaos and certain things being representational of chaos within the created order. Like the Bible included, but a lot of other ancient cultures saw things like the ocean. As the embodiment of unpredictability and chaos. And so that's why you have sea monsters are this very common depiction. The Leviathan in Job, which is this, you know, sea monster.

And it's representational in a way of because it appears actually in Babylonian literature to the Leviathan. Yeah. And it's it's encompassing chaos in the world. And the point of God bringing it up to Job in the book of Job is like God has the ability to tame this thing. And even in the book of Revelation at the end of the Bible, it says that in the new heavens and new earth, there will be no sea.

And it's not because, you know, I had a friend who is Australian and we were kind of working through translating sections of Revelation. And he's like, hold on, there will be no sea. It's like, I'm Australian. I love the sea. But the point of that, though, is not necessarily that like the body of water is not going to exist. It's that the ocean, the sea exists. is so unpredictable.

You go out there and storms can come out of nowhere and you die. And so there are these motifs that are representational in the ancient world. And we see a lot of those in these creation stories. So would it be that the dangers of the sea would no longer exist? Yeah. Oh, yeah. So the sea kind of working as an analogy of that which is unpredictable.

And actually, there's a lot of concepts of the realm of the dead being in the sea that we see throughout this literature. If you read the book of Jonah... there's this kind of stylistic, which you miss when you read it in the English, but it's very apparent in the Hebrew, where Noah keeps going down.

He goes down from his town to the dock, and then he goes down into the boat, and then he goes down into, you know, the... inside of the boat and then the storm happens and then they throw him overboard down into the sea and down into the fish. And he eventually the fish takes him down into the depths of the sea.

And when Jonah prays, he says, I cry out from the depths of shale, which is the realm of the dead. So there is actually a form of Jewish interpretation where it argues that Jonah actually died and was resurrected when he was spit up by the fish.
