Who is Belphegor?
Belphegor is a lieutenant from Hell, mentioned multiple times in the Bible, who had been dispatched to Earth on a mission by Satan. In doing so, he found a particular affinity for Paris, France.
He is a shape shifter, delighting in using this ability to deceive mortals. His most common forms are polarized in their appearances. He will take the form of a beautiful woman, naked in all her glory, to seduce those who would fall for his wiles. He also appears as a terrible demon, with leathery flesh, huge horns, long sharp teeth and fingernails, and a gaping mouth.
Origin
Belphegor is one of the many demons with the attribute “Baal,” in this case Baal-Peor. As such, before he became known as Belphegor, he is mentioned in the Bible as the patron of Moab in Assyria, and was one of the false gods that Moses handed down the death penalty for worshiping.
As one of the fallen angels, Belphegor was originally a member of the order of principalities, and after his fall he became a demonic counterpart to one of the ten Sephiroth that oversee the Tree of Life.
History
As stated, Belphegor was the patron of the Moab, a kingdom known to have been along the shore of the Dead Sea, on the eastern side, in what is now Jordan. He was a phallic deity, associated with sex, orgies, and all forms of debauchery in general.
Belphegor, You’re My Idol
During the Exodus, still as Baal Peor, some factions of Israelites started making sacrifices to Belphegor. The reason for this is because they began having relations with the women of Moab, who seduced them to their local god. Regardless of the reason, these sacrifices enraged Moses so much that he began to condemn those who were worshiping Belphegor to death. By the time the sacrifices to Belphegor were eliminated, 24,000 people had been killed. The only thing disputed in this was whether they were actually slain, or whether Moses called down a plague upon them that caused their deaths.
He is the Biblical enemy of the 6th Sephiroth, the patron angel of beauty. As the Patron demon of dispute, perhaps their adversarial relationship exists because beauty should never be disputed, as it is in the eye of the beholder and some can find the beauty in everything. If Belphegor were to become too influential in the world, then the beauty of it all would become tainted, causing ruination.
I’m on a Mission From… Satan
In his form as a full-fledged demon and servant in Hell, Belphegor was sent to earth by Satan to discover if marital love was real, or a fallacy that could be taken advantage of by his minions. Belphegor searched far and wide, and reported to Satan that he could find none in his travels.
What he did find was France, and in particular, Paris. As a former deity of all debauchery, he apparently became enamored with the seedier side of the nation in general, and the city in particular. This is probably why, in addition to being an adversary of the 6th Sephiroth, he is considered to be an adversary to Mary Magdelene, who is a patron saint of France.
Current Influence
Belphegor is invoked by persons who wish to find fame and wealth through invention, often with as little effort as possible. These wishes, as with almost any demonic invocation, are doomed to fail, because Belphegor’s true mission is to draw the lazy into the sin of Sloth. Through the failure of whatever Belphegor provided to the invoker, he draws them into procrastination and idle dreaming rather than producing, thus damning them.
Remember that each of these demons has “minions” as well. It may not be this exact guy tormenting you himself!
For some great listens on how to deal with these things I suggest listeing to Fr. Chad Ripperger on youtube. He is a priest who is also a fairly well seasoned exorcist. He has some great talks on this and you don’t need to be Catholic to get the gist of his homilies.
i am a direct decedent of the seventh fallen angel the curse of sloth is a terrible one we dont realize how easy it is to fall prey to this deadly sin i have lived thousands of lives not a single one good the gods (i say gods because i refuse to call god by a wrong name ) will punish you for this deadly sin make no mistake i have died over 1000 horrible deaths im not suposed to be on the earth at this time i have no fate in this life just a curse of sloth bound to me by a blood curse if anyone out there knows how to break free from this lazy piece of shit demo please let me know im tired of living a life of false hope and pain over and over but i seem to keep makiing the same mistakes no matter how hard i try
Wow.
Sloth & Lust are my issue. Ive only loved one woman and she lives in Indonesia and follows a different faith. She said the only way we can get married is for me to convert, but ive been wasteful with earnings. I used to sell drugs (quick money scheme) for a few years and I made a lot of money but ended up losing not wasting but literally losing all profits. I also had 1 invention I never patented that has since been patented and made millions it’s was a marijuana pipe made from cookie dough, have another invention in my head that is practical and theoretically foolproof… This product literally allows laziness with a payoff. I was born 4-13-1991. The 13 is spot on with this demons palindromic number and like the palindromic number 1991 is same forward and backward. I used to be active in stunning shape when I was involved with prayer, church, and God. Since I’ve been lacking in that relationship all I do is chill and drink. This is my demon and it’s horrifying how close we are…
I have the same problem. I think it’s just me that I’m lazy and all my failures fall back on me. Fret not. What happens here on earth stays here on earth. If you could leave your ideas behind and live a life that doesn’t cause suffering or worry or any of these materialistic problems you would not need to think. Love god with all your heart, they taunt and tease showing you dreams and visions far in the future, this is to delude you from your mission, the mission you where born to fulfill. Smile. For you are not rich, and those who are rich are among the many that will not behold all his glory. I love you all. Don’t worry, it’s his will that will be done.
I feel like I may be tormented by this demon for a long time too. I have strange feelings and ideas floating around my head of success and accomplishing things but somehow they never get done and its perpetual. I read and I pray and im an honestly hard worker when I do anything, however I cant seem to keep a job for very long I always want to move on bigger things that I know will take lots of money and resources that I can’t afford but theres this thing telling me that it will pay off. what lead me here were thoughts of an escaping nude woman and the pervasive thoughts of her alluring me. hell even when I taken shits lately nowadays its like I’m “giving ,” it away. Ive studied demonology and I’m resoundingly faithful and try to due dilligence all that i can by god, and my life. but when It comes to doing things I want like exercise for example go on a run; I just shut down.
How do we know if we are influenced by this demon? I think that i may be getting influenced by this demon. I tend to procrastinate a little, not a lot. And i always get new ideas to implement and i invest my hard earned money in it and i always fail, i have lost lots of money, failed many times and have not been successful in any of my ideas. I also tend to work on ideas that are easy to implement and can give more returns.
