>>22706066>Satansome have seen the name "Satan" as having been derived from "Saturn."
Etymologically, this cannot be accepted since the name Satan is merely the English transcription of the Semitic "Shaitan". There are other indications, however that the entity known as Satan owes its origin to the planetary god in question.
The Gospel of Bartholomew names this "adversary of men" as Beliar (the same as Belial), which is merely a different rendering of Bel, whose identity as Saturn has been recognized by ancient as well as modern authorities.
The Gospel of Matthew, on the other hand, identifies him with Beelzebub (or Beelzebul), which should be more correctly rendered
"Ba'al Zebub".
Later still, the early Christian Fathers continued to regard Ba'al Zephon as Satan. And yet Ba' al Zephon translates as Lord of the North, which is a very appropriate title for the Saturnian planetary god situated in Earth's north celestial pole.
the Israelite EL, a common form of the Near Eastern Saturnian deity, is often referred to as "Ba'al".
Even Yahweh, identified as a Saturnian deity, was equated with Ba'al.
The Prophet Hosea himself referred to Yahweh as the Ba'al of Israel.
It therefore becomes evident that Satanic and divine power were ambiguously regarded as having been one and the same.
This ambiguity continues to be evidenced by the Gypsy name for "God, " which is "devel".
This is traceable to early Indo European nomenclature.
Thus, as it ended up in Hinduism, the word deva stood for "God."
But according to Persian (or Iranian) tradition , deva stood for "fiend" or "devil."
a Kurdish tribe known as the Yezidis worship Shaitan as a god. To them , Shaitan represents the real force of divine power. All this has been brought out here in order to stress the disparity of the planetary god Saturn who continued to be remembered both as the Lord of Light and the Star of Evil.
