Devils Origin (Devils Lies Book 1)

Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?

And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. It is unknown whether Symmachus was correct in identifying these names, because we otherwise know nothing about either of them. In any case, the form Beelzebub was substituted for Beelzeboul in the Syriac translation and Latin Vulgate translation of the gospels, and this substitution was repeated in the King James Version of the Bible , the resulting form Beelzeboul being mostly unknown to Western European and descendant cultures until some more recent translations restored it.

Beelzebub is also identified in the New Testament as the devil , "prince of the demons". The name is used by Hades as a secondary name for the Devil , but it may vary with each translation of the text; other versions give the name Beelzebub as Beelzebub, but separates him from the devil. Beelzebub is commonly described as placed high in Hell's hierarchy.

According to the stories of the 16th-century occultist Johann Weyer , Beelzebub led a successful revolt against the Devil, [18] is the chief lieutenant of Lucifer , the Emperor of Hell, and presides over the Order of the Fly. Similarly, the 17th-century exorcist Sebastien Michaelis , in his Admirable History , placed Beelzebub among the three most prominent fallen angels , the other two being Lucifer and Leviathan , whereas two 18th-century works identified an unholy trinity consisting of Beelzebub, Lucifer, and Astaroth. John Milton featured Beelzebub seemingly as the second-ranking of the many fallen angels in his epic poem Paradise Lost , first published in Milton wrote of Beelzebub, "than whom, Satan except, none higher sat.

Sebastien Michaelis associated Beelzebub with the deadly sin of pride. However, according to Peter Binsfeld , Beelzebub was the demon of gluttony , one of the other seven deadly sins , whereas Francis Barrett asserted that Beelzebub was the prince of false gods.

Within religious circles, the accusation of demon possession has been used as both an insult and an attempt to categorise unexplained behavior. Not only had the Pharisees disparagingly accused Jesus of using Beelzebub's demonic powers to heal people Luke Down through history, Beelzebub has been held responsible for many cases of demonic possession , such as that of Sister Madeleine de Demandolx de la Palud, Aix-en-Provence in , whose relationship with Father Jean-Baptiste Gaufridi led not only to countless traumatic events at the hands of her inquisitors but also to the torture and execution of that "bewitcher of young nuns", Gaufridi himself.

Beelzebub was also imagined to be sowing his influence in Salem, Massachusetts: Cotton Mather wrote a pamphlet , titled Of Beelzebub and his Plot. Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and he became ill; and he sent messengers and said to them, "Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this illness. But an angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah the Tishbite [saying], "Arise, go up toward the king of Samaria's messengers, and speak to them, [saying], 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?

Therefore, so has the Lord said, "From the bed upon which you have ascended you will not descend, for you shall die.
