He, like many of his infernal colleagues, has roots in the ancient past. Often, his early history is ignored in the western tradition and replaced by information that may portray him in ways that are not justified. Even his very name is misleading, but it is also a clue to his ancient origins. If you read my most recent book, Devils, Demons, and Ghosts In the Hebrew Tradition, I exclude Beelzebub as a demonic name because, technically, in Judaism proper, he is not considered to be a demon, but a Pagan God. There is only one source that portrays him as a demon, and that is in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and even there, it is very sketchy. I will discuss that later. However, in all other literature outside of Judaism, he is very much a demon. In this book, I will cover a lot of ground, and unlike my book, Belial – A History, this book WILL have rituals. The reason for that is because I have worked with Beelzebub and his many aspects. Whereas, I have not worked a lot with Belial. I only write about things that I know and experience. In this book, you will learn: The Name of Beelzebub and its origins. Beelzebub in the Old Testament. Beelzebub in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Beelzebub In the Pseudepigrapha, Apocrypha and Gnostic Texts. Beelzebub In the New Testament and Old Testament Greek Septuagint: In the New Testament, we have reference to Beelzebub using a slightly different name. I will examine this further AND compare the Greek descriptions of Beelzebub in the New Testament and other Greek sources. Beelzebub in the Occult literature. Beelzebub in John Milton’s Work. I will also include five powerful rituals/meditations. With that, let us get started, we have about three to four thousand years to cover. The Canaanite God Baal You might wonder why I am starting this book with the Canaanite God Baal. On the surface, it makes little sense. Stay with me; it will all make sense in a moment. As I have said in my other books, the ancient Israelites had many enemies. The most notable was the ancient Egyptians who enslaved them for several generations as we read in the book of Exodus. The next formidable enemy was the Babylonians, who sent the Israelites into a cruel exile starting around 586 B.C. that has had long-lasting effects that have influenced modern-day Judaism. These two periods in ancient Hebrew/Israelite history were harsh, but the real enemies of the Israelites were the Canaanites, people who were not only their neighbors but, in many instances, their kin. The Canaanites posed a spiritual threat to the burgeoning new cult of the Hebrews. The Canaanite religion was the Proto-Israelite religion until they splintered off. This melding of the past and the physical proximity to the Canaanites and their religion left a scar on the Israelite soul. It was challenging to rend this influence from the hearts of the Israelites. There is no doubt, as they prayed to Yahweh, amid High Priests, they secretly kept a cache of idols of Asherah and Baal. Evidence suggests that the worship of Baal and Asherah became the underground folk religion of the Israelites. No matter what the Hebrew religious authorities tried to do, the Israelites backslide time and time again to the Canaanite gods. They were like moths to a flame. When they backslide, the hot and blinding fire of Yahweh destroyed or punished them. One sore point for the Israelites as it pertained to Canaanite religion was the worship of Baal. Although Baal was widely worshiped throughout the Middle East, he is quite a mysterious God. His cult was so widespread that some have called him “The God with a thousand faces.” Much has been found about him in ancient Ugaritic texts. He has many parallels to the Old Testament God. A Subject a bit too broad for this book. The name Baal means “owner," “Lord,” or “Master” in various Semitic dialects. In Modern Hebrew, Baal is often the term used for “husband.” He was commonly known to be a God of fertility, storms, and sometimes, a solar God. He is the chief nemesis of Yahweh and is mentioned at least 90 times in his various forms throughout the Old Testament. Baal was a thorn in their side, and he popped up all over the place under multiple names. If you would like to know more about Baal, please read my book Baal: The Lord of the Heavens. One of the names he showed up as is Beelzebub. Yes, Beelzebub is one of the names for the god Baal. More specifically, it is a form of Baal borrowed by the Philistines, who also lived in Canaan. I will get into greater depth as to what the name means in the next chapter. Beelzebub – What’s in a Name? The name Beelzebub has an interesting and somewhat controversial origin story. The name itself is irregular. In English, the name Beelzebub doesn’t seem to have much relation to Baal, but that is because it is not rendered correctly from the original language. In Hebrew, Beelzebub is not a proper name, but a description of the God Baal. In Hebrew, it is “Baal-Zevuv” or “Lord of the Flies.” As I mentioned, Baal means “Lord” and “Master” and “Zevuv” means “flies.” In Hebrew, it is בוּבזְ לעַ בַּ . rendered as If appropriately spelled in English, it would be BAALZEVUV. In some cases, it is presented as VAALZEVUV since the “B” sound in Hebrew can sometimes be rendered as a “V” sound. We will see this rendering shortly.
