Something interesting I have found in the
name Beelzebub…
He is called the “Lord of the
Flies”. I used to picture some sort of “Fly Lord”
something similar to a “Queen Bee”. Actually,
that is not the case, because flies don’t have any organized
army as such. The “Lord of the Flies” is the “dung
pile” that the flies worship.
“Gehenna” in Christ’s day was the
area outside of Jerusalem that would have been the sewer
dump. So the picture that Christ was using to
describe “hell” is the place where the “waste” is
gathered. If you understand that picture, you
should be able to see it here:
|
2Kgs
9:37
|
And the carcaseH5038
of Jezebel shall be as dungH1828
upon the face of the field in the portion of
Jezreel; [so] that they shall not say, This [is]
Jezebel.
|
I find this interesting… there is another
word in Hebrew that is also used of a carcase.
Hebrew Strong’s # 4658 = Carcase
Greek Strong’s # 4657 = Dung
BCV (Book Chapter Verse) # 5038 (CARASE)
|
Phil
3:8
|
Yea
doubtless, and I count all things [but] loss for
the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my
Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all
things, and do count them [but] dung,G4657
that I may win Christ,

Notice the connection to the IDOL.
Hebrew Strong’s # 4656 = Idol
Hebrew Strong’s # 6456 = Graven Image
|
Jer
50:38
|
A drought
[is] upon her waters; and they shall be dried up:
for it [is] the land of graven
images,H6456
and they are mad upon [their] idols.
|
Do you notice the 5038 in the verse
reference? It points to:
Hebrew Strong’s # 5038 = Carcase
In the Old Testament, God refers to Baal-zebub
as the “god of Ekron”.
|
2Kgs
1:3
|
But the angel
of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go
up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria,
and say unto them, [Is it] not because [there is]
not a God in Israel, [that] ye go to enquire of Baal–zebubH1176
the godH430
of Ekron?H6138
|
the godH430
of Ekron?H6138
= 430 + 6138 = 6568
Notice the number right next to it…
Hebrew Strong’s # 6569 = Dung (Heb:
Peresh)
Notice that the word in Hebrew sounds
like the English word “Perish”, and hence the strong
connection in:
|
John
3:16
|
For God so
loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,G622
but have everlasting life.
|
Perhaps the “trespass offering” from the
Philistines was an acknowledgment of their judgment against
their dung lord.
|
1Sam
6:17
|
And these
[are] the golden
emerods which the Philistines
returned [for] a trespass offering unto the LORD;
for Ashdod one, for Gaza one, for Askelon one, for
Gath one, for EkronH6138
one;

Notice the pairing in the Strong’s

Greek Strong’s # 954 = Beelzebub
Greek Strong’s # 4670 = Sodom
Look at the first place that Hebrew
Strong’s # 4670 is found.
BCV (Book Chapter Verse) # 954 (Beelzebub)

1Sam
5:4
|
And when they
arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon
[was] fallen upon his face to the ground before
the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and
both the palms of his hands [were] cut off upon
the thresholdH4670;
only [the stump of] Dagon was left to him.

Look at all the dimensions!
AMAZING!
