“'''Belial''',” taken from the Hebrew ''bĕlīya’al'', meaning “worthlessness,” is a term used interchangeably with [[Satan]]. Actually, it is the name of another [[fallen angel]] whose sons took embodiment after the fall of [[Lucifer]]. | |||
In the Old Testament, ''belial'' is usually interpreted as a common noun meaning worthlessness, ungodliness, or wickedness. (Deut. 13:13; Judges 19:22; 20:13; I Samuel 2:12; 10:27; 25:17; II Samuel 23:6; I Kings 21:10, 13; II Chronicles 13:7). In II Cor. 6:15, Belial is used as a proper name for a prince of demons. | |||
Belial is described in Milton’s ''Paradise Lost'' as one of the fallen angels. | |||
