| | Baal (demon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the ancient world of the Persian Empire, from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea, worship of inanimate idols of wood and metal was being rejected in favor of the one living God. | | | According to some authors Baal is a Duke, with sixty-six legions of demons under his command. | | | Early demonologists, unaware of Hadad or that "Baal" in the Bible referred to any number of local spirits, came to regard the term as referring to but one personage. |
