Belphegor: the Demon God of Gluttony

Hey everyone, welcome to Mythology Explained. In today’s video we’re going to discuss Belphegor, a demonic diplomat, one source presenting him as the ambassador to France; a demon to whom disciples paid homage to with their excrement; a demon dispatched to Italy, there marrying a woman to discover why marriage ruined the hearts of men; a demon called the god of gluttons, this an epithet that harkens back to him being one of the seven deadly demons of the seven deadly sins, either presiding over gluttony or sloth, depending on the source; and a demon derived from an ancient pantheon, walking that well-worn path that leads from god to false god to demon lord.
Alright, let’s get into it.
“The Infernal Dictionary” is a book on Demonology, first published in the early 19th century by a French occultist. It is similar to many other works on demonology in that it catalogs demons (usually in these works the number of demons cataloged is somewhere between 60 and 80) and presents a little profile for each one. The profile of each demon outlines the appearance, power, and means of worship and conjuration so as to exalt, be bestowed with boons of power, or both.
Watch the video for the rest!

Demon marries a woman, loses money, goes back to hell, and denouncing the institution of marriage is the most relatable thing ever

[@BiggSheppTheManMythAndLegend]

His was a marriage devoid of God. Marriage is a God created institution therefore a successful one either requires a man and a woman, both biblically dedicated to God or a man and a woman both dedicated to a life that is knowingly anti-God.

He tried to warn us about the City Girls 😂

@@BiggSheppTheManMythAndLegend Best advice ever given to me by a preacher: "Marry a woman who loves God more than she loves you, bc in her love for God, she will keep all his laws that will always lead to her undying devotion to you. Just make sure you too honor her the way God intended."

Belphegor is the Demon of Sloth.

Depending one who you ask as he said yes it is

[@shawnvogt888]

Guess you haven't watched the first minute of the video where he says that, or you really don't pay attention. 🤷‍♂️

​@@gamervox1707Belzeebub is usually the one referred to as the demon of gluttony

[@gamervox1707]

@@hineraable Belzeebub was also a god from the Semitic faiths. So Their is a lot of contradiction.

[@christophergraham5531]

“Gluttony“? I think you mean laziness or sloth. Beezlubub is the Gluttony demon.

[@babyyoda0U812]

I was kinda thinking that to.

[@judsongaiden9878]

In its original context, sloth was a lot more serious than mere laziness. It meant something more akin to apathy.

[@CordellPotts]

It depends on the source of info, different sources say different things. he states that in the 1st 2min of the video.

[@WaggaDaBagga]

The demon Lord of the Flies "Beelzebub" is not out of gluttony. He is the brother of Satan. He has insect's Powers "Occult" and "Demonic". He can change eyes from monotheism to insect eyes. And he can send an insect swarm crawling over you. And take over your body by controlling it. He is one of the 7 Princes of Hell. There is a princess of Hell too. Satan's Daughter: Sin. Her husband: "Death".

Listen to the video wow

[@SDRicky]

Funny thing , why belphagor was kicked out of heaven , is not supporting either side neither god nor devil , he was busy to enjoy popcorn while enjoying the show.

[@baronghede2365]

He's the demon of sloth and laziness, Blessed Be.

[@ChrisPrime-g2r]

Hey he looks just like Sean

[@thomasdoney1373]

This is wrong Belphegor is the demon of sloth And beelzebub is a demon of gluttony

[@shewhomustnotbenamed155]
