Description

Rahab is mentioned in the Talmud and the Old Testament, and its etymology is given as "noise", "tumult" and "arrogance". This name originally designated the primordial abyss, the water-dragon of darkness and chaos, and so comparable to Leviathan and Tiamat. Rahab later became a particular demon, inhabitant of the sea, especially associated with the Red Sea, in this case sometimes associated with Leviathan. This name was also applied to Egypt, and the destruction of the Pharaoh after the Exodus of the Israelites from that country, was compared with the slaying of Rahab, perhaps a late corruption of Rahab slaying the Pharaoh (the Red Sea drowning his troops) (Isaiah 51:9-10). Rahab is or was the angel of insolence and pride, responsible for shaking the waters and producing big waves; he is also responsible for the roaring of the sea.[citation needed] According to some sources, he was the guardian angel of Egypt, a position often designated to other angels such as Belial, Mastema, Samael, and Uzza. Rahab represents Chaos in ancient texts such as the Bible. In Psalm 89:9-10 God's triumph over Rahab is made clear. The Psalmist praises God saying, "You rule the raging of the sea and still the surging of its waves. You have crushed Rahab of the deep with a deadly wound." The difference between Rahab and Tannin is unclear in Jewish literature Another of mine image inspired to the fallen angel i hope you like this I want also tell sorry if i'm not so much online lately but i've a very big project that i'm doing in this period that can change mine life if all will be ok ^_^ After all the loss of the 2005-2008 period i hope this should be a new period for me .
