The Baal page keeps pointing to a second name.
Wikipedia lists more titles for the same god: "Rimon/Rimmon, Pidar, Rapiu, Baal-Zephon, or often simply Baʿal (Lord)".
The Baal Cycle on its clay tablets dates to roughly 1400 to 1200 BCE.
In it Hadad is called Baal, and the stories are about him.
My video notes on The Baal Cycle, from the Disciple Dojo series, use the same picture.
The Mount Zaphon page says: "It is the sacred peak of Baal (Hadad).
Most researchers identify it with Jebel al-Aqra." The same page quotes the order for his palace, from tablet 4 of the Baal Cycle:
Mauro Biglino points at it in his article "Yahweh versus Baal: the war between the gods of the Bible".
He writes: "Baal is also called the ‘knight of the clouds’, an epithet which in the Bible is also applied to Yahweh." Biglino does not name Hadad in that article.
He is talking about Baal.
In my Editorial Insertion of Yahweh page I noted that "This psalm praises Yahweh using language strikingly similar to Canaanite hymns to Baal, the storm god.
Some scholars argue it was originally a Baal hymn adapted to Yahweh worship." The Esoterica video on Baal makes the same point and then adds: "The similarities between Baal and Yahweh, both storm gods, created theological competition in the region."
The Esoterica quote on my Baal page has him travel the other way, from Mesopotamia west to Canaan.
Wikipedia also records that John Day thinks Jezebel's Baal, whom Elijah fought, "was possibly Baʿal Shamem (Lord of the Heavens), a title most often applied to Hadad".
In his article he says "Elijah does not say that Baal does not exist." I think that fits a Hadad cult too, because a rival is only a rival if he is real.
Baal means "lord".
Many gods were called Baal, and Hadad was one of them.
Wikipedia says Hadad was often called simply Baal, "however, the latter title was also used for other gods".
Biglino says the same thing from another direction: "Baal did not originate as a proper name.
It originated as an epithet." He adds that "The Bible mentions many Baals: Baal Berith, Baal Hammon, Baal Peor, Baal Zebub, Baal Zefon and others besides."
So I read "Baal" in the Bible with care.
For the Baal who gets full treatment on this site, go to Baal.
They use Baal.
The Family of Taygeta, a Pleiadian channeling group, ties Baal to Enlil instead.
Yahweh-Jehovah was basically a fictional character made by combining aspects of Enki and Enlil, but primary Enki as he was made to be an adversary of Baal, the storm god, who is Enlil.
My Baal page explains their route: they tie Enlil to "Bel" (Akkadian for "lord"), and then claim that "Bel" turned into "Baal".
This is a different line from the one Wikipedia draws, where Baal is Hadad's title.
It has Baal as a heavenly Lord who ruled mortals for three thousand years.
In the Book of Wars, Baal takes the floor at a gathering of the Gods:
After him spake Baal, whose heavenly kingdom was over Heleste and the south end of Jaffeth to the sea, a young Lord of great promise.
Such was the end of the earthly dominion of Baal, who had ruled over mortals for evil, for upward of three thousand years.
My false gods in Oahspe page sums him up as a Lord who "inspires violent worship in Canaan and Greece (as Baal or Zeus)".
Baal
The Baal Cycle
Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
Jeremiah repeats it in 19:5, where the fires are "for burnt offerings unto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind".
There the speaker puts the burning of children on another power, Baal.
They dance a dance called ‘Bel-lohck-na-pie,'” with horns on their heads, like those used in Europe as symbolical of Bel, or Baal.
Here we have, too, the four quarters of Atlantis, divided by its four rivers, as we shall see a little farther on, represented in a dance, where the dancers arrange themselves according to the four cardinal points of the compass; the dancers are painted to represent the black and red races, while “the first and only man” represents the white race; and the name of the dance is a reminiscence of Baal, the ancient god of the races derived from Atlantis.
In Thebes, six thousand Kriste'yan warriors were massacred by the armies of the emperor Maximum, inspired by Baal.
Four chief Gods were under him; they were: Baal, Ashtaroth, Dagon and Ashdod.
Baal
The same section tells how, in the 397th year, "the Gods Baal and Ashtaroth triumphed, through their familiar spirits", and moved the Israelites to anoint Saul as king (Book of Saphah: The Basis of the Ezra Bible 26).
Of the false Gods and Goddesses thus delivered and brought before God, in Paradise, for judgment, the chiefs of them were: Ashtaroth, Dagon, Ashdod, Yotemas, Sathias, Goluth, Plutoya, Itis, Hamgad, Moak, Hoar, Baal, Ennochissa, Kabalactes, Gabriel and Looeamong.
The 1882 Oahspe glossary lists "ashdod" among words that became synonyms: "Brahma, budha, christ, kriste, baal ashtaroth, dagon, vishnu, ashdod, knowledge, wisdom" and others.
Later fate: Ashdod is delivered out of the hells with Ashtaroth, Dagon, Baal and others, and brought before God in Paradise for judgment, near the time of kosmon (Book of Es 16–17).
Baal
In God's Book of Eskra (Chapter 17): A war in heaven is foretold between Baal, Ashtaroth, Dagon, and Haughak.
Like Baal, Dagon, and Ashtaroth, Haughak represents a spirit entity or angel-king who maintains kingdoms, inspires oracles, and seeks mortal followers, contributing to the spiritual "darkness" and division among the Faithists.
The familiar spirits now inspired Saul to change the words of the commandments to the LORD YOUR GOD, as a conciliatory stratagem to please the nations and tribes of people who worshiped Baal, Dagon, Ashtaroth, Haughak, and other Gods and Lords of the lower heavens.
Theological company matches perfectly — Hauron is repeatedly mentioned alongside Baal, Astarte/Ashtaroth, Anat, and Resheph in Ugaritic texts, Egyptian records, and Phoenician inscriptions.
A lesser but persistent deity who was never as dominant as Baal or Dagon, exactly the kind of “supporting false god” Oahspe describes operating in the lower heavens alongside the bigger names.
In Oahspe’s framework, Haughak would simply be the heavenly name or title of the false god/angel who inspired (or possessed) the mortal worship of Hauron on Earth, just as Baal, Dagon, and Ashtaroth are the heavenly counterparts of their earthly cults.
He wages wars against rivals (e.g., using Persians and Greeks ~539–490 BCE to defeat Baal and Ashtaroth, casting them into hell).
Oahspe tells the contest as a tournament between the priests of Baal and Jehovih, decided by the angel Jerub, who ends with rain on Mount Carmel:
Elijah said: Summon thou thy priests, and thy high priests, who have power through Baal and Ashtaroth and Dagon, and they and their Gods shall try in a tournament against Jehovih.
Ahab caused the tournament to take place, and when the priests and high priests of Baal had spread the sacrifice they repeated their invocations for a miracle to prove the power of Baal and the other Gods; but lo and behold, Jerub, the etherean angel, with ten thousand spirits to assist him, prevented any sign or miracle being accomplished by the familiar spirits of Baal and Ashtaroth.
Elijah tells King Ahab to gather Israel and the prophets of Baal:
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table.
Elijah confronts King Ahab and challenges the prophets of Baal.
The prophets of Baal prepare a sacrifice but get no fire.
He aids in defeating rivals like Baal and Ashtaroth, securing Looeamong's dominance.
"I made thee what thou art; and by mine own hand helped thee to cast out Baal and Ashtaroth"
He fights loyally to defeat remaining false gods like Baal and Ashtaroth, securing Looeamong's earthly and heavenly dominance.
Oahspe portrays him as savage after tasting victory (e.g., pursuing Ashtaroth and Baal), favoring blood purification over peace, and enriching his heavenly palace with enslaved angels while denying Jehovih.
He wages wars against rivals (e.g., using Persians and Greeks ~539–490 BCE to defeat Baal and Ashtaroth, casting them into hell).
Ashtaroth appears as a powerful false goddess in Oahspe, allied with Baal after the main confederacy of Anuhasaj, Osiris, Te-in, and Sudga.
She is collaborative when beneficial but turns ruthless in rivalry, especially against Baal.
She works with Baal to subjugate stubborn regions by inciting mutual destruction among mortals, then clashes with him in triangular wars involving other gods like Dagon (Book of Eskra, Chapter XX).
Her defeat, alongside Baal's, marks the decline of lingering false gods, aiding shifts toward new doctrines under Looeamong (later tied to Christian developments).
Baal is mentioned in the Book of Wars Against Jehovih (e.g., Chapters LII, LV, and as a false god in the overall false gods' labors, Chapter I), where he operates under Osiris or as an independent false god in Heleste (Greece) and Arabin'ya (Middle East/Canaan), inspiring wars and idolatry.
Baal inspires Canaanite/Israelite conflicts, opposes Faithist prophets like Elijah (~900 BCE), and influences Assyrian/Babylonian events.
Cpenta-armij imprisons earlier false gods (Anuhasaj, Osiris, etc.), but Baal and Ashtaroth persist longer (Book of Wars Against Jehovih notes their fall is excepted in the main account).
Baal claims titles like Zeus in some contexts through alliances.
Baal emerges as a false god in Oahspe after the main confederacy of Anuhasaj (De'yus), Osiris, Te-in, and Sudga.
Baal gains prominence in Arabin'ya (Middle East, including Canaan) and Heleste (Greece), often working with Ashtaroth to subjugate mortals under Osiris or for his own power (~3,000 BCE onward in cycles).
Baal is cunning, violent, and opportunistic.
Baal establishes hadan heavens in Arabin'ya and Heleste, inspiring idolatry and Baal worship in Canaan, Phoenicia, and Greece (~3,000–900 BCE and later, Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter LII).
Baal sends warring angels to incite Assyrian (~800 BCE) and Babylonian (~600 BCE) invasions, weakening Israelite Faithists through captivities and divisions (Book of Eskra, Chapter XX).
Baal contributes to idolatry's spread, promoting sacrifices and wars.
Baal's reign persists longer than earlier false gods.
While Cpenta-armij imprisons Anuhasaj and allies (~2,400 BCE, Book of Cpenta-armij, Chapter III), Baal and Ashtaroth continue (noted as excepted in falls).
His end comes under Looeamong (a later Triune false god), whose warrior Thoth (Gabriel) defeats Baal through mortal agents like Constantine (~300–400 CE, Book of Eskra, Chapters XX, XLVII).
Baal is cast into hell with his slaves, ending his dominion and pagan influences in the region.
Baal's actions prolong idolatry in the Middle East and Mediterranean, challenging Faithist prophets and delaying Jehovih's pure worship.
His influence explains biblical-era conflicts (Canaanite Baal worship, wars with Israel).
Baal illustrates how false gods adapt and persist, requiring ongoing divine corrections in Oahspe's cosmic cycles to restore spiritual balance.
Thoth/Gabriel captures Baal and millions of warring angels, casts them into hell (Makavishtu in hada), walled with fire and gases.
This ends Baal's 3,000-year rule and pagan earthly dominion.
The Gods were: Anubi; Hikas, now called Te-in; Wotchissij, now called Sudga; Chele- mung, now called Osiris; Baal, Ashtaroth, Foe-be, Hes-loo, He-loo, Orion, Hebe and Valish.
Mount Zaphon (Mountain of Baal)
Some readers compare the goat riders with Baal, the Canaanite storm god known from the clay tablets of Ugarit in present day Syria.
Baal's main epithet is "Rider of the Clouds" (in Ugaritic texts, he rides clouds as a storm god, bringing rain and thunder).
The Lexham Bible Dictionary notes that the Ugaritic phrase rkb ʿrpt occurs 15 times in the Ugaritic texts and refers mainly to Baal as the bringer of rain, and often to Baal as a warrior.
In the battle with Yam, the sea, the craftsman god Kothar-wa-Khasis uses it to urge Baal on.
In European folklore the goat belonged to the Devil and the witches' sabbath, and Baal was cast as a false god in the Bible.
The Ugaritic texts themselves do not give Baal a goat mount.
The familiar spirits now inspired Saul to change the words of the commandments to the LORD YOUR GOD, as a conciliatory stratagem to please the nations and tribes of people who worshiped Baal, Dagon, Ashtaroth, Haughak, and other Gods and Lords of the lower heavens.
Asherah appears in ancient Hebrew texts alongside other powerful entities like Baal.
Ashira is referred to as the Queen of Heaven, mother of creation, and consort to the storm god Baal.
1. The ruined Babylon was near, and Jesus and the sage went through her gates and walked among her fallen palaces.2. They trod the streets where Israel once was held in base captivity.3. They saw where Judah's sons and daughters hung their harps upon the willows, and refused to sing.4. They saw where Daniel and the Hebrew children stood as living witnesses of faith.5. And Jesus lifted up his hand and said, Behold the grandeur of the works of man!6. The king of Babylon destroyed the temple of the Lord in old Jerusalem; he burned the holy city, bound in chains my people and my kin, and brought them here as slaves.7. But retribution comes; for whatsoever men shall do to other men the righteous Judge will do to them.8. The sun of Babylon has gone down; the songs of pleasure will be heard no more within her walls.9. And every kind of creeping thing and unclean bird will, in these ruins, find their homes.10. And in the temple Belus, Jesus and Ashbina stood in silent thought.11. Then Jesus spoke and said, Behold this monument of folly and of shame.12. Man tried to shake the very throne of God, and he assayed to build a tower to reach to heaven, when, lo, his very speech was snatched away, because in lofty words he boasted of his power.13. And on these heights the heathen Baal stood--the god wrought out by hands of man.14. Upon yon altar, birds, and beasts, and men, yea children have been burned in awful sacrifice to Baal.15. But now the gory priests are dead; the very rocks have shuddered and have fallen down; the place is desolate.16. Now, in the plains of Shinar Jesus tarried yet for seven days, and, with Ashbina, meditated long upon the needs of men, and how the sages could best serve the coming age.17. Then Jesus went his way, and after many days he crossed the Jordan to his native land.
Ugaritic tablets (14th century BCE) have Baal guided by a day-cloud and night-fire when he marches to battle.→ All pre-date any possible Israelite text by 1000–1500 years.
Nehemiah 9:12, 19 and Psalm 78:14 treat the cloud/fire as something YHVH “used to lead them” in the wilderness, but Psalm 105:39 suddenly says:> “He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night.”This is identical wording to Canaanite descriptions of Baal’s march.
Ax-El-Tan made those attempts to curb the activities of the sons of Belial and Beelzebub who rose to those positions as the warrior among the Atlanteans and turned to the use of destructive forces.
Mount Zaphon (Mountain of Baal)
This occurs in sections like the Book of Wars Against Jehovih (Chapter XLVII), where Osiris consults with other false gods such as Baal, Ashtaroth, and Egupt to establish these idols.
Later references appear in God's Book of Ben (Chapter VII), where it states that "Osiris and Isis shall go down" alongside other false deities like Anubi, Baal, Ashtaroth, and Thammus, indicating their eventual decline in influence.
"He did away with the idolatrous priests appointed by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the towns of Judah and on those around Jerusalem—those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations and to all the starry hosts."
Baal is a false god in Oahspe, rising after the initial confederacy of Anuhasaj.
He rules hadan heavens in Arabin'ya (Middle East) and Heleste (Greece), inspires violent worship in Canaan and Greece (as Baal or Zeus), incites wars and captivities against Faithists, opposes prophets like Elijah, and manipulates events like Assyrian and Babylonian invasions.
Baal represents persistent idolatry in the Middle East, challenging Jehovih's teachings until the rise of new religious orders.
See: Baal establishes hadan heavens in Middle East and Greece and Baal
Ashtaroth is a false goddess in Oahspe, allied with Baal in Arabin'ya and nearby regions (~3,000–900 BCE).
She uses seductive charm and deception to enslave spirits and mortals, promotes idolatry as a fertility deity, collaborates then wars with Baal, and inspires conflicts against Faithists.
He claims to be Kriste (All Knowledge), founds Christianity through his angel Thoth/Gabriel by inspiring Constantine and the Council of Nicea, manipulates wars to defeat rivals like Baal, and establishes doctrines of the Trinity and Holy Ghost.
Disruption of Faithism: False gods like Anuhasaj, Osiris, Baal, and Looeamong undermine Jehovih’s monotheistic worship, inspiring major religions (Hinduism, Christianity, Islam) that distort His truth (Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter XLVIII).
Oahspe: Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter I–L (Anuhasaj, Osiris, Te-in, Sudga, Baal, Ashtaroth, Kabalactes)
Oahspe: Book of Eskra, Chapter IV, XLV–XLVI (Baal, Looeamong, Gabriel)
False gods in Oahspe, Anuhasaj, Osiris, Te-in, Sudga, Baal, Ashtaroth, Kabalactes, Looeamong, and Gabriel, are rebellious angels who establish hadan heavens and inspire idolatry, opposing Jehovih’s worship.
