Beelzebub · Lord of the Flies — Prince of Gluttony

Beelzebub (Hebrew Baʿal-Zəvuv, Greek Beelzeboul, Latin Beelzebub) is the great demon of the Judeo-Christian tradition — the decisive canon — derived from the Hebrew Baal-zebub meaning 'Lord of the Flies' — the decisive canonical iconographic figure originating in the city of Ekron of Philistia where the god 'Baal-Zebul (Baal-Zebul, prince Baal)' was worshipped, with Jews scornfully changing the name to 'Lord of the Flies (zebub = fly)'. Aliases — Beelzeboul, Lord of the Flies, prince of devils, and Archduke of 'Gluttony (Gula, Gluttony)' among the Seven Deadly Sins — are the decisive canonical vocabulary. The decisive textual canon is the decisive origin canon of 2 Kings 1:2-16 of c. 6th-4th century BCE in which the king of Israel Ahaziah (Ahaziah) fell ill and sent messengers to consult Beelzebub of Ekron, only to be rebuked by Elijah (Elijah), and the decisive canon of Matthew (Matthew) 12:24-27, Luke (Luke) 11:15-19, and Mark (Mark) 3:22 of the 1st century CE in which the Pharisees slandered Christ by saying 'he casts out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of demons'. The decisive 17th-century English-literary canon of John Milton's (John Milton) Paradise Lost (Paradise Lost) Book 1 lines 78-81 of 1667 — the fallen angel next to Lucifer — and the decisive 20th-century English-literary canon of William Golding's (William Golding) novel Lord of the Flies (Lord of the Flies) of 1954.

Origin

The decisive canon in which Jews scornfully changed the name of this pagan god from 'Zebul (princely)' to 'Zebub (fly)', and the decisive textual canon is the decisive origin canon of 2 Kings 1:2-16 of c. 6th-4th century BCE in which the king of Israel Ahaziah (Ahaziah) fell from the lattice of his upper chamber and became ill, sent messengers to consult Beelzebub (Baal-zebub) of Ekron about whether he would recover, was rebuked by an angel of YHWH and Elijah (Elijah), and died. The decisive New Testament canon is the decisive canon of Matthew (Matthew) 12:24-27, Luke (Luke) 11:15-19, and Mark (Mark) 3:22 of the 1st century CE in which the Pharisees slandered Christ by saying 'he casts out demons by Beelzebub, the prince of demons', and Christ refuted them saying 'If Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?' — the decisive canon in which Beelzebub was established as the 'prince of demons' in the New Testament.
