1, lucifer (fallen angel, devil)
The most favored big devil is listed as "Satan". Milton's Paradise Lost means that Lucifer led a third of the angels to raise the anti-flag in the north of heaven because he refused to surrender to Jesus. After three days of celestial drama, Lucifer's rebels were finally defeated by Michael. They fell in chaos for nine mornings before falling into hell.
Since then, God has created a new world and human beings. In order to take revenge and seize the new world, Lucifer turned into a snake and sneaked into the Garden of Eden, lured Eve to steal the forbidden fruit of the tree of knowledge, and then used her to lure Adam into committing the crime of disobeying God's orders. So Lucifer let God's new creation fall together as he wished, and opened the door to this new world for the demons. Since then, crime, disease and death have finally spread on the ground.
In fact, the most famous description of Lucifer in the Bible is somewhat obscure. In Isaiah 14, section 12- 14 describes the glory of Lucifer, without naming names. This section may have been copied from Canaan (a part of the land where Israel was founded) in ancient mythology. According to the Gospel of Luke in the New Testament, Jesus talked about seeing Satan fall rapidly from heaven into the abyss of hell.
Another said that Lucifer was a god of ancient Rome, and his image was a god holding a torch. Lucifer, the star of the dawn, is a folk myth in the Middle East, and there are similar legends in Canaan, Egypt and Persia. Canaanites believe that the stars at dawn are gods named Shaiem, and the gods at dusk are Shahem. Because of jealousy of the sun god, Shaham launched a mutiny, which ended in a fiasco and was dropped from the sky.
Lucifer is the most dazzling morning star, and is called the star of dawn (Venus). Before the mutiny, he was the most beautiful and powerful angel in heaven, and no angel could compare with him in brilliance and courage.
The author of Revelation records that his cologne dragged a third of the stars down in the sky. That is to say, comparing Lucifer to Cologne, it is obvious that Lucifer has the personality of blazing angel. More outrageous legend, Lucifer's brother is Michael and even Christ.
Dante's Divine Comedy and Milton's Paradise Lost all say that Lucifer led a third of the angels to raise the anti-flag in the north of heaven because he refused to surrender to the Son Christ. After three days of drama in heaven, Lucifer's rebels were finally defeated by Christ and fell into hell after nine mornings of chaos.
2. Mamen: God of Wealth (Devil)
Mamen is the name of the devil that the Jews raised in the Old Testament and the New Testament, which means "wealth" in ancient Syrian. An adjective used by Jesus in the New Testament to accuse his disciples of greed. Described as the evil god of wealth, it lures people to kill each other for wealth. In Paradise Lost, angels sent to hell dug up countless treasures and built their own temples under the command of Mamen.
3. Asmode: the devil in Jewish mythology (fallen angel, devil)
Asmode is a demon representing lust among the seven deadly sins, and one of the 72-pillar demons of King Solomon. This demon may have come from Persia by Zoroastrianism. It turns out that it is one of the six men of Ahriman, the dark fiend of Zoroastrianism, and it is the fiend of lust.
When it evolved into Judaism, it was called "the head of evil spirits" and "the fiend". Originally, he was not a very important demon in Christianity, but he appeared in the foreign book Tobit. He monopolized his favorite human woman and killed the man who married her. Finally, the archangel Raphael tricked him out of his true colors and fled to Egypt, where he was captured by the archangel Gabriel.
It was not until the magic books in the Middle Ages that they were widely used as synonymous with demons, such as "sanctioned creation", "king of hell", "son of revenge" and "son of lust".
In the original Zoroastrianism myth, he was a demon who killed people, hunted the souls of people and animals, and led wizards in the world to wage war. Judaism, on the other hand, says that it has a human appearance, two wings and a fiery red face, is familiar with the knowledge of the earth's treasures, and has the ability to transform. It is said that the ash from the liver and heart of fish has an exorcism effect on him.
Legend has it that degenerate angels were wise angels (or blazing angels) before falling into the sky, but after being introduced into King Solomon's 72-pillar fiend in the Middle Ages, they were described as demons with three heads, namely, human head, herding cattle and lamb.
Bao Apollo, galloping in hell, has waterfowl-like feet and a snake tail, can spit fire in his mouth, holds a poisonous gun, and is familiar with astronomy and mathematics. His pleasure is the desire to lead people to drink, gamble or commit crimes.
3. Balbal (Devil)
Baal is the greatest enemy of the LORD and one of the seventy-two pillars of King Solomon. The history of this god can be traced back to more than 400 years BC/Kloc-0 when Semites worshipped him. He is the son of Shem, and Shem is the son of Noah. It is said that Shem is the ancestor of Semitic people and is regarded as the highest-ranking god among Semitic people. Many documents can find records of Sumerians worshiping his glory.
Baal is sometimes called' bal' or' BAE', which literally means' Lord' in Semitic language; The meaning of "master" is the same as the sun or god at that time. Later, Baal, like God, represented' God'.
Baal is not a unique name of God. With different time and place, it represents different local gods. Such as the Babylonian god Bel Marduk and the Phoenician Lord Balshaman.
This god is worshipped in Syria and Persia, and even exists in Canaan culture. He is the son of the most high God, Ile, and his birthday and anniversary are commemorated in Canaan festivals. This god was even worshipped by Phoenicians, and together with his wife Astaroth, he represented Phoenician rich culture.
Not only the sun god, but also the agricultural god. When the disaster came, people thought it was Baal's anger, and even a living person or a child had to be sacrificed in his sacrificial ceremony, thus giving birth to Molo, the god of fire.
With the Phoenician navigation industry running around, Baal was introduced to the Mediterranean during Moses' time, including Midian; ; Midian Arabs), and Moab (Midian; ; It can be seen from the Old Testament that ancient Jews also worshipped this god.
Maybe it was because people all over the world were worshipping and performing. They not only offered sacrifices to the living, but also built expensive temples, mobilized thousands of priests and laborers, and even had scenes of fornication. It makes some people feel disgusted and becomes the origin of the fallen god.
4. Leviathan: Leviathan (the devil)
Leviathan means "crack". In the Book of Job in the Old Testament, the giant crocodile that God showed Job in the whirlwind was also a whale and a dolphin. It originated from the snake worship culture absorbed by the Israelis in Egypt.
When the ancients saw the snake peeling off and went away, they mistakenly thought that the snake was immortal, so there was a custom of snake worship everywhere, and its deformation was like the worship of crocodiles and dragon gods. After Christianity, it was quoted as a synonym for the devil, an anti-sacred force. Leviathan was named as one of the seven deadly sins because of the cunning impression of snakes recorded in Genesis.
The prototype of Leviathan has also appeared in other religions. Like the earliest Canaanite culture, he was a sea snake named Lotan, with seven heads, and was finally killed by Baal. He is also a demon in Ugatric (a branch of Syrian ancient Sumerian language) culture.
Chapter 100 of the Golden Legend also mentioned the son of Levison, a big snake with a dragon body in the upper part and a fish body in the lower part. He is as big as an ox and has teeth like a sword. He lived in the Rhone River in the south of France and in the nearby forest, constantly eating local residents, destroying boat branches, and was finally taken back by St. Mardam with a cross.
5. Devil
He is the devil mentioned by Christ Jesus in the New Testament. "Baai" is a word used as a "god" in ancient Mesopotamia, while "Zebub" means a prince, who may be the sun god in the holy book of Finiqi, but was later sacrificed by the Canaanites as the "king of dung mounds".
There are traces of this demon king in Greek mythology, because Zeus, the father of all gods, is also called "the fly-dodger". The ghost king summoned by the Jews in the New Testament. Bae Zeb's reputation in Palestine is second only to that of Lucifer, and people often regard him as the same person as Satan and Lucifer.
Even when Jesus was treating people, some people questioned whether he relied on Beelzebub, the ghost king, to exorcise ghosts. According to the legend of fallen angels, he was a member of the Blazing Angel Team 3 and failed to escape in the Genesis War. In Kings, the pagan god worshipped by Solomon refers to Baal, the sun god of Canaan. In the New Testament, the suppression of paganism is more serious, that is, the gods are transformed into Beelzebub, the ghost king.
6. Abaddon Abaddon (fallen angels, the devil)
Angel with a bottomless pit, king of disease, angel of death, devil of hell. Revelation records that when the fifth angel blows the horn, there will be a "degenerate angel". When the horn sounded, a star in the sky would come to the earth, open the door of the bottomless pit full of black smoke, and then the locust demon army headed by Abaddon would come out and make human suffering for five months.
Abadon is the Hebrew word for Abad-he can kill people-and the Greek translation is Apollyon, which means "destroyer". The name Abaddon in Judaism means destruction, extinction, ruins, graves, underground world and death.
In the ninth chapter of the Bible Revelation, Abaddon's wizards are mentioned:
Abaddon, a degenerate angel who lives in the deepest part of hell, released magic in order to make mankind more miserable when the final judgment came:
Just like a military horse ready for battle, wearing a golden crown, a man's face, a woman's hair, a woman's face, a lion's teeth, a scorpion's tail, wearing armor, and the sound of wings vibrating like a galloping carriage, attacking humans with poisonous needles will not cause fatal injuries, but the living will live for five months and taste the pain of death.
Later, the demon belief described his appearance in more detail. It is said that he has sickle-shaped wings, like a man with green scales, aquiline nose and bear-like feet, and thick red hair. He spit out smoke and fire from time to time in his mouth next to his nose, and many people died because of his terrible appearance.
7. Samael Samael (fallen angels)
Samael's English, also known as Satanail, is not recorded in the Christian Bible. It is fallen angels in the Greek apocalypse "bulke", which is not the same as Satan. Its name means "toxic shining messenger", and Gai“Sam "also means" poison "in Hebrew.
It is alleged in the book that the so-called knowledge tree is actually just a vine planted in Samael. God cursed the tree and forbade humans to eat it. Adam ate fermented grapes, which is equivalent to drinking wine, representing the blood of God and being exiled by God.
Samael is regarded as a senior angel, and he is listed as one of the seven creative angels. It is said that only Samael succeeded in ordering the creation of angels to create human beings for the first time. Because of his knowledge and achievements in creating human beings, God ordered him to take charge of human life, so he was called "angel of death". The Islamic death should be the same.
8. Billy (degenerate angel, devil)
Also known as Beliard, Belir and Boulil. It is an angel created by Milton and may be the earliest god in Palestinian Jewish legend. Literally, it means worthless, cheap and not worth mentioning.
Section 13 of Deuteronomy in the Old Testament is only used for "worthless" adjectives. In the New Testament-2 Corinthians chapter 6, section 14, Jesus Christ is the opposite of "the son of darkness" and is annotated as another name for Satan. In the battle between the children of light and the children of darkness in the Dead Sea Document, it is said that meanness is the deputy monarch of heaven, the commander-in-chief of the dark army and the first conspiracy against heaven.
Self-proclaimed Satan's Nail is the most dangerous and ferocious of all fallen angels, and conceited as the first born angel. His most successful counterattack after heaven was to instigate the kingdom of Judah to rebel against God again and worship its witchcraft, so that it was abandoned by God and destroyed by Babylon.
In the interpretation of Kabbalah's esoteric religion, evil is constantly defined as a single thing. Because we can't accept the evil side of God, we must shed evil from the unity of God.
In the tradition of Bible and Koran, Adam (the name of the first human being)
Kadmon (primitive
Man) is Kabala's name for the perfect spiritual life of primitive people who are about to turn the world into a savior, but compared with the evil spirits of the separatist class, they just use the word Adam Beliyyaal.
Bile also occupies a place among the 72-pillar demons of King Solomon. Beria in the magic book is a beautiful but degenerate angel, riding a chariot of fire, and sophistry words provoke the relationship between relatives.
9. Azazel Azazel (fallen angels, the devil)
The leader of the fallen guardian angel (Gregory) and the leader of the rebel angel in Paradise Lost. God in Hebrew is powerful, as powerful as God, completely eliminating movement and wilderness. There are other names such as Azael, Asiel, Hazel and Azel. Before he fell into the sky, he had the identity of blazing angel or intelligent angel and was the commander of guardian angel.
One of the angels who gave birth to 200 angels with human women was once defeated by the angel Raphael. The reason is recorded in the first two sections of the eighth chapter of Enoch, a pseudo-classic in the Old Testament. After nephilim (a giant born of guardian angels and human beings) spread all over the place to create disasters, Azazel, as the commander, naturally took full responsibility.
It is said that he was buried in a deep pit near Jerusalem by other archangels, imprisoned forever, and will be thrown into the lake of fire on the last judgment day. Another legend is that Azazel refused to lead the guardian angel to serve mankind. He said, "How can the son of fire worship the son of the earth?" Therefore, he was punished.
Azazel's representative is a goat, and the goat's head demon mentioned in the Revelation may refer to him. Jews take September 10 every year as the day of atonement, that is, they slaughter goats and worship their heads in order to seek repentance for their sins. The monarch of hell, the seducer of mankind, and the guardian of goats in evil science. In hell, because of his lofty status and power, Lucifer was appointed as his right-hand man.
According to the tradition of Judaism, its body has seven snake-shaped heads, fourteen faces and 12 pairs of wings, riding on a chicken.
10, Most Ma Mastema (fallen angels)
Hebrew malice is also called Mansemat. There are many stories about this degenerate angel in the apocryphal Book of the Old Testament. Basically, together with Azazel, he is the commander of the guardian angel. He came to this world with beria for the first time and was punished for remembering the girls in the world. During Noah's flood, he commanded the evil spirits left on the land and destroyed by the flood.
When God wanted to throw all fallen angels into hell, Mostima begged God that God only left one tenth of fallen angels in the world. Later, it brought a lot of troubles, temptations, accusations, executions and other crimes to the world. Legend has it that the magician who fought against the law with Moses in Egypt at that time inherited his magic.
1 1, Duma Touma
The Hebrew word "silence" means the place where the Jewish prophet Isaiah was inspired in the Bible. The silent angel of death, the angel of death that Jewish mysticism tells people to see after death, is also known as the guardian of Egypt. The demon leader of the burning valley in the outer suburbs of Jerusalem.
