5 Demons of Hell

Hell is usually known as a place of torment and domination, basically its a pace of punishment. In most religions and traditions there is a place like heaven, where a soul can enjoy the afterlife, and a hell, where you suffer for all eternity. In whatever form and name hell comes in, traditions typically locate it in another dimension or under the Earth's surface, and often include entrances to hell from the dimensions of the living. Some are ruled by a death god such as Nergal, Hades, Hel, Enma or the Devil with a whole pantheon of fiends that do their bidding. Mostly, hell is portrayed with demons who torment the lost souls that dwell within it's boundaries, as their perpetual punishment for the injustices they committed on Earth. Often, old world gods were reincarnated as angels of hell from pagan religions like the fallen angel, Moloch, known widely as Baal, a false idol in the old testament.

Here is a list of 5 Demons of Hell:

#5 Moloch

Moloch comes from a Semitic root word "Malech" or king, and "Bosheth" meaning shame. Malech is the name of an ancient Canaanite god, and Milchom an ancient Ammonite god, who are more or less two incarnations of the same ancient god. Moloch worship was practiced by the Canaanites (Jews), Phoenicians, and the Levant, and as with the old world practices of the Phoenicians and Canaanites. Moloch had associations with a particular kind of propitiatory child sacrifice. Parents often ritually slaughtered children, describing it as "to pass through the fire," the name given to the rite carried out after the victims had been put to death. The oblation by fire, a practice that began in Baal worship, was likely the link in the association between Baal and Moloch. At Palmyra, the Malach-bel were sun-gods which suggests to many that Moloch was originally a fire god, or a sun god. With these credentials and already as an enemy of "The Lord" he was a perfect candidate in mythology to rule as a demon in hell. Being so terrifying that even the vicious god of the Old Testament was flabbergasted with his follower's ritual practices.

And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD. -Leviticus 18:21
"There was in their city a bronze image of Cronus (Moloch) extending its hands, palms up and sloping toward the ground, so that each of the children when placed thereon rolled down and fell into a sort of gaping pit filled with fire. -Diodorus Siculus
From Milton's Paradise Lost:"First MOLOCH, horrid King besmear'd with bloodOf human sacrifice, and parents tears,Though, for the noyse of Drums and Timbrels loud,Their children's cries unheard that passed through fireTo his grim Idol. Him the AMMONITEWorshipt in RABBA and her watry Plain,In ARGOB and in BASAN, to the streamOf utmost ARNON. Nor content with suchAudacious neighbourhood, the wisest heartOf SOLOMON he led by fraud to buildHis Temple right against the Temple of GodOn that opprobrious Hill, and made his GroveThe pleasant Vally of HINNOM, TOPHET thenceAnd black GEHENNA call'd, the Type of Hell."

#4 Mammon

In the New Testament, Mammon is the material incarnation of wealth and greed, most often portrayed as a deity and one of the Seven Princes of Hell. As greed and excessive materialism personified, he lures unsuspecting mortals with the fruits and flavors of hell and fuels their greedy fires until the commit immoral deeds for personal gain, delightedly hurting many innocents in the process. Every time we refuse that dollar to starving children in Africa, Mammon laughs in wicked delight.

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." – Matthew 6:19–21,24

#3 Beezlebub

According to biblical sources, Beezlebub, is another name for the Devil, the supreme ruler of hell, and in Christian demonology he is one of the seven princes of hell. Beezlebub, which means, "lord of the flies" or "lord of the heavenly dwelling," was originally the name of a Philistine god, Baal or Baal muian ("Baal of the flies"). The name swap reflected a tradition of negative associations with the name Baal. Yet, in other forms Baal has lived on. In the Testament of Solomon, Beezlebul (not Beezlebub) appears as prince of the demons and says that he was formerly a leading heavenly angel who was associated with Venus, the evening star. Here, Beezlebul is most definitely an incarnation of Lucifer. He claims to have caused destruction to innocents by tyrants, to encourage demon worship, to excite priests to lust, to cause jealousies and murder, and to bring on war. Some believe Beezlebub is a separate entity from the devil and may have even led a successful revolt in hell. It is thought that he is now the chief lieutenant of Lucifer, the emperor of hell, and that under him Beezlebub presides over, "The Order of the Fly."

Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand? And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. But if I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. —Matthew 12:25-28

#2 Belial

As the demon and personification of lust, power, and materialism, Belial is very popular with Satanists. In the Christian religion, he is seen as one of many faces of Satan and is the poster boy of licentiousness. In most current demonologies he was created immediately after Lucifer and appears to all as a gorgeous angel in fiery chariot, and he uses his alluring visage to lure, lie, trick, and manipulate unsuspecting mortals.

But for corruption thou hast made Belial, an angel of hostility. All his dominions are in darkness, and his purpose is to bring about wickedness and guilt. All the spirits that are associated with him are but angels of destruction. -The Dead Sea Scrolls

"I shall not comfort the oppressed until their path is perfect. I shall not retain Belial within my heart." - Rules of the Community

“One of the synonyms for Satan or one of the minor devils; principally, the Antichrist: as used in the Old Testament, a modifying genitive signifying worthlessness or recklessness, e.g., "sons of Belial" as in the story of the Benjamite war (Judg.19). Hence, the underworld (Sheol) and the personification of wickedness. Belial may perhaps be a modification of the Babylonian Belili, a deity connected with the underworld in the Ishtar-Tammuz story.”

"Folklore, Mythology and Legend" by Funk & Wa Wagnalls (1984)

“Belial means "without a master", and symbolizes true independence, self-sufficiency, and personal accomplishment. Belial represents the earth element.”
"The Satanic Bible"
Anton LaVey (1969)

#1 Leviathan

Often associated with Poseidon, Leviathan is a demon of the deep and almost immortal. He only trembles when faced with God and fears a small worm called "kilbit," which clings to the gills of large fish and kills them. Leviathan is thought to be one of the seven princes of hell, and along with Lucifer and Beezlebub, he was one the first three angels to fall from heaven. In the hierarchy of Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones, Leviathan was also a prince of Seraphim, who tempts people to give in to heresy, and is opposed by St. Peter. His name is often invoked for family curses, so one must invoke the name of St. Peter for protection and relief. His month is February, when Leviathan is said to have more strength to accomplish his evil tasks.

¹ Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope?
² Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook?
³ Will he keep begging you for mercy? Will he speak to you with gentle words?
⁴ Will he make an agreement with you for you to take him as your slave for life?
⁵ Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls?
⁶ Will traders barter for him? Will they divide him up among the merchants?
⁷ Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears?
⁸ If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!
⁹ Any hope of subduing him is false; the mere sight of him is overpowering.
¹⁰ No-one is fierce enough to rouse him. Who then is able to stand against me?
¹¹ Who has a claim against me that I must pay? Everything under heaven belongs to me.
¹² I will not fail to speak of his limbs, his strength and his graceful form.
¹³ Who can strip off his outer coat? Who would approach him with a bridle?
¹⁴ Who dares open the doors of his mouth, ringed about with his fearsome teeth?
¹⁵ His back has rows of shields tightly sealed together;
¹⁶ Each is so close to the next that no air can pass between.
¹⁷ They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted.
¹⁸ His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn.
¹⁹ Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out.
²⁰ Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.
²¹ His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth.
²² Strength resides in his neck; dismay goes before him.
²³ The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm and immovable.
²⁴ His chest is hard as rock, hard as a lower millstone.
²⁵ When he rises up, the mighty are terrified; they retreat before his thrashing.
²⁶ The sword that reaches him has no effect, nor does the spear or the dart or the javelin.
²⁷ Iron he treats like straw and bronze like rotten wood.
²⁸ Arrows do not make him flee, sling stones are like chaff to him.
²⁹ A club seems to him but a piece of straw, he laughs at the rattling of the lance.
³⁰ His undersides are jagged potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing-sledge.
³¹ He makes the depths churn like a boiling cauldron and stirs up the sea like a pot of ointment.
³² Behind him he leaves a glistening wake; one would think the deep had white hair.
³³ Nothing on earth is his equal—a creature without fear.
³⁴ He looks down on all that are haughty; he is king over all that are proud.
-Job 41:1-34
"God created the great sea monsters—taninim.^[3] According to legend this refers to the Leviathan and its mate. God created a male and female Leviathan, then killed the female and salted it for the righteous, for if the Leviathans were to procreate the world could not stand before them."
-Genesis 1:21
When the Leviathan is hungry, reports Rabbi Dimi in the name of Rabbi Johanan, he sends forth from his mouth a heat so great as to make all the waters of the deep boil, and if he would put his head into Paradise no living creature could endure the odor of him (ib.). His abode is the Mediterranean Sea; and the waters of the Jordan fall into his mouth (Bek. 55b; B. B. l.c.).
The body of the Leviathan, especially his eyes, possesses great illuminating power. This was the opinion of Rabbi Eliezer, who, in the course of a voyage in company with Rabbi Joshua, explained to the latter, when frightened by the sudden appearance of a brilliant light, that it probably proceeded from the eyes of the Leviathan. He referred his companion to the words of Job xli. 18: "By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning" (B. B. l.c.). However, in spite of his supernatural strength, the leviathan is afraid of a small worm called "kilbit", which clings to the gills of large fish and kills them (Shab. 77b)
"Such strength dwells in his neck that panic moves before him. The folds of his flesh close in on each other firmly and are immovably cast upon him. His heart is as hard as a rock, solid as a nether millstone. When he raises himself up the mighty are afraid and are beside themselves with panic.
"To hit him with a sword is useless; so is a spear, a dart or javelin. To him iron is as straw and copper as rotten wood. Arrows do not rout him, sling stones he treats as stubble. Clubs are counted by him as reeds and he mocks the rattle of javelins. His nether parts are like potsherds, they leave threshing sledge grooves in the mire.
"He makes the deep to boil like a pot, the sea like a vessel of ointment. Behind him he leaves a foaming wake and one wonders if the sea might be growing frost. On earth there is not his equal. A creature devoid of fear, he looks down on all that is highest. He is a king over all the sons of pride" (Job 41).
