In Mesopotamian religion, Marduk was considered the supreme deity and was associated with the city of Babylon. He was seen as the creator of the world and the leader of the pantheon of gods. In Hebrew religion, YHWH (often pronounced Yahweh) is considered the supreme deity and is the one true God of the Israelites. YHWH is often depicted as a jealous and vengeful God, but also as a loving and merciful one. In Zoroastrianism, Ahura Mazda is the supreme deity and is seen as the creator of the universe and the source of all good. Ahura Mazda is opposed by Angra Mainyu, the source of all evil.
While all three deities are considered supreme in their respective religions, they have different characteristics and roles. Marduk is associated with kingship and is often depicted as a warrior god, while YHWH is seen as a moral and just God who demands obedience and worship. Ahura Mazda is a wise and benevolent deity who promotes truth, order, and righteousness.
Overall, the three supreme deities in these religions have different attributes and play different roles in their respective belief systems, reflecting the unique cultural and historical contexts in which they originated.
