Beelzebul

Japanese: ベルゼブル(英語表記)Beelzebul
Beelzebul
The name of the chief demon who appears in the Gospels of the New Testament. It is considered to be another name for Satan. He is also called Beelzebub, which is thought to be influenced by Baal Zebub, who appears once in the Old Testament, 2 Kings. Baal Zebub was the god of the Philistines who opposed the worship of Yahweh. There are various theories about the relationship between Beelzebub and Baal-Sebub, but it is not certain. In any case, it is believed to be a local name or a name limited to a specific era.

新約聖書の福音書に出てくる悪魔の首領の名称。サタンの別名とされている。ベルゼブブともいわれるが,これは旧約聖書『列王紀下』に1度出てくる「バール・ゼブブ」に影響されたものと考えられる。バール・ゼブブはヤハウェ信仰に反対するペリシテ人の神であった。ベルゼブルとバール・セブブとの関係については種々の説があるが確かではない。いずれにせよ地方的な名称か,特定の時代に限られた名称とされている。
