Well George, here's how I fugure:

Tehom is thought to be the god of the chaotic waters, or it means "Deep"????  
The Bible labels the wicked as roaring sea, and the righteous as a calm sea.  
The "Deep" was created by God for the keeping of Satan and his angels.  
Abaddon is the king of the "Deep", and Leviathan is the "twisted serpent" 
another 
name for Satan.  And God has not dealt finally with Leviathan as yet.  It 
just 
seems to me that they all come together as one person over eons.
