Varmenni
„Varmenni," er þýðing íslensku Biblíunnar sem merkir illmenni en á hebreska er orðið bĕlīya'al notað sem þýðir „ómerkilegur,“ hugtak sem notað er á víxl við Satan. Reyndar er Satan nafn annars fallins engils hvers synir endurholdguðust á jörðinn eftir fall Lúsífers.
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.
