Life was possible only with the dome that was in the midst of that chaotic mass. There plants and animals could flourish. The forces of chaos threatened at every moment. Even the story of Noah and the flood is a meant to assure us that the pressure of chaos will not overwhelm us. S cientists tell us that the universe is under constant threat from chaos.
Much more effort goes into the creation of order.
Chaos is the easiest path. It is that creation itself is sustained at the dearest cost. Jesus is tempted by the devil. He refuses to accept the illusion that he is in charge of the world. He remains faithful to his message that God has already drawn near.
