Monotheistic Deity: Jehovih is the sole deity in Oahspe’s cosmology, distinct from false gods (e.g., Anuhasaj, Baal) who deceive mortals.
Disorganized and Malevolent: They lack organization unless manipulated by false gods (e.g., Anuhasaj, Baal), who use drujas to enslave other spirits or inspire mortals to worship idols (Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter XLV).
Interaction with Mortals: Drujas influence mortals by obsessing them (influencing thoughts or actions) or inspiring false worship, as seen in regions like Arabin’ya where Baal worship gains traction (Book of Eskra, Chapter IV).
Followers of False Gods: Druks are primary followers of false gods like Baal, Ashtaroth, and Anuhasaj, contributing to idolatry and spiritual bondage (Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter LII).
As a “Son of Jehovih,” Eskra holds immense authority, tasked with managing the spiritual and material realms during a period marked by the rise of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, alongside the persistent influence of false gods like Baal, Ashtaroth, and Looeamong.
Eskra’s primary mission is to oversee the transition of Earth’s spiritual landscape as false gods, particularly Looeamong (Kriste), Baal, and Ashtaroth, establish major religions (Christianity, later Islam) while Faithist principles continue to be upheld by true prophets (Book of Eskra, Chapter III; Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter LII).
Eskra works through angels to inspire prophets like Elijah (returned as Nu-ghan to lift a curse) and others, who counter Baal worship and restore Faithist teachings (Book of Eskra, Chapter IV).
Elijah and Moses: Eskra supports the return of Moses as Elijah (Nu-ghan), who lifts a curse and counters Baal worship in Israel (~9th century BCE) (Book of Eskra, Chapter IV).
Baal and Ashtaroth inspire the Assyrian (722 BCE) and Babylonian (587 BCE) captivities of the Israelites, weakening Faithist communities (Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter LII).
Looeamong uses Persians and Greeks (~539–490 BCE) to defeat Baal and other false gods, consolidating his power (Book of Eskra, Chapter XLV).
His role is to teach the monotheistic worship of Jehovih, referred to as Ormazd in this context, and to establish spiritual communities that counter the false religions propagated by Anuhasaj and his confederates (e.g., Dyaus, Baal).
In a dramatic confrontation, Osire and his Etherean hosts invade Hored, arresting Anuhasaj and his sub-Gods (e.g., Osiris, Baal, and Ashtaroth) for their rebellion against Jehovih.

The result was that the Israelites served the gods of the Canaanites, especially Baalim and the Asheroth (Asherah poles, linked to Ashtaroth) (Judges 3:7).
They quickly turn to idolatry: they serve Baalim and Ashtaroth, make and worship idols of wood and stone (Judges 2:11–13; 3:7; 10:6).

Intermarriage and idolatry: Both note intermarriage with Canaanites leading to Baal/Ashtaroth worship and weakening of original doctrines (Judges 3:5–7 aligns with the 131 years post-Exodus description).
False spirits and causes: Oahspe attributes war/anarchy to false gods like Looeamong or Baal's spirits; Bible links it to human sin, idolatry, and divine judgment without named false spirits.
The people had made a golden idol (to Baal and another figure) during his long absence (possibly a year).
In the time of Moses, the people of Arabin’ya worshiped many Gods and Lords, whose high heavenly Captain was Osiris. Four chief Gods were under him; they were: Baal, Ashtaroth, Dagon and Ashdod.
And when he came down , they had made the golden statue to Baal and Durue (phonetic), breaking most of the Commandments already.
D : Why did the people make the golden statue to Baal?
Bon: Lists Anuhasaj (De’yus), Baal, Dagon, Ennochissa, Kabalactes, Looeamong.

Their religion included deities such as Baal, Astarte, and Melqart, distinct from Greek mythology.
Early human societies focused on survival, relying on fertility, storm, and agricultural deities like Baal and Asherah.
The confrontation between Elijah and the prophets of Baal reflects a period when Baal worship was widespread in Israel.
The narrative assumes that Baal and Yahweh were rival deities, with the story emphasizing Yahweh's supremacy.
This reflects a time when Baal was conflated with Yahweh, necessitating a separation.
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 Book of the Laws of YHWH included undisguised narratives of elohim, Elyon the Captain, Shaddai the Destroyer, CH-CH the Dragon, Asherah, Baal, Dagon, the moloch child-sacrifices, and the whole kaleidoscopic memory of the seba hassamayim.

Early Identity:Baal's precursor, known as Hadad (also Haddu or Rammanu in Akkadian), was initially a minor storm deity in Mesopotamian mythology.
Baal's Transformation:By 1800–1500 BCE, Hadad had evolved into Baal-Hadad, eventually known simply as Baal ("Lord"), signifying his dominance over nature and his emergence as a kingly god.
Discovery of Texts:The Baal Cycle was discovered in 1928 at the Bronze Age city of Ugarit.
The six clay tablets, dated to the 14th–13th centuries BCE, provide the most comprehensive account of Baal's mythology.
Conflict with Yam (Sea):Baal's primary adversary is Yam, the personification of the sea, representing chaos.
With the help of his sister Anat and the divine craftsman Kothar-wa-Khasis, Baal defeats Yam using magical weapons.
Establishment of Kingship:After defeating Yam, Baal constructs a palace on Mount Zaphon (modern Jebel Aqra), solidifying his role as king of the gods.
Conflict with Mot (Death):Baal battles Mot, the personification of death.
Though Baal is initially defeated and descends into the underworld, he is eventually revived, symbolizing the cyclical nature of fertility and the agricultural seasons.
The similarities between Baal and Yahweh, both storm gods, created theological competition in the region.
Biblical Narratives:The Hebrew Bible frequently references Baal, often in opposition to Yahweh.
For example, the Elijah narrative in 1 Kings 18 depicts a dramatic contest between Yahweh and Baal's prophets.
Cultural Assimilation:Elements of Baal's mythology were adapted into Yahweh worship.
For instance, Psalm 29, with its storm imagery, is believed by scholars to have originally been a hymn to Baal.
Transition to a Demon:During the rise of Christianity and in later Jewish apocalyptic literature, Baal was transformed into a demonic figure.
This demonization reflected a broader theological shift, positioning Yahweh as the supreme deity and relegating Baal to an adversarial role.
In Christian tradition, Baal became Beelzebub ("Lord of the Flies") and was described as a prince of demons.
Texts like the Testament of Solomon and the Goetia of the Lesser Key of Solomon portray Baal as a high-ranking demon, often commanding legions of lesser spirits.
Cultural Impact:Despite his demonization, Baal's mythology has influenced various religious and literary traditions.

Canaanite Mythology: The rivalry between the thunder god Baal and the sea god Yam parallels Zeus and Poseidon’s conflict.
And as the horns and ox-head of Baal show the esteem in which cattle were held among them, we may suppose that they had passed the stage in which the plough was drawn by men, as in Peru and Egypt in ancient times, and in Sweden during the Historical Period, and that it was drawn by oxen or horses.
The two small horns of Tai-Ko-Fokee and Moses are probably a reminiscence of Baal.
We find the horns of Baal represented in the remains of the Bronze Age of Europe.
Upon the head of their great god Baal they placed the horns of the bull; and these have descended in popular imagination to the spirit of evil of our day.

and the mighty Baal after her?
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.
Whilst Baal was worshipped, I gave unto Baal.
And Baal, God of the idolaters, heard and saw, and gloried in the course; and he hastened to the scene with millions of his angel slaves to inspire the Israelites to glory in the Lord and God, whom he assumed to be.
The which Ashtaroth saw; and, first time of all, after two thousand years friendship to Baal, she became jealous and filled with vengeful wrath.
I will send a hundred million warring angels down to Babylon and Tyre and Yedmon and Luce, and inspire their mortal kings to make war on the westward cities, the strongholds of Baal.
On the other hand, Baal said: Because of my success, I know Ashtaroth will be jealous and full of anger; therefore, I will place a standing army between her heavens and mine; and if she but dare to molest me, I will send my millions against her heavens and despoil her utterly, that she may be cast in hell!
Her people are divided and broken up, and many of them have become worshipers of the false Gods, Baal and Ashtaroth.
And now was God's attention directed to the Hebrews, the Faithists of western Arabin'ya, where the God Baal had gained access and power; having affiliated with one, Dagon, a false God, located in those regions, who maintained six earthly oracle-houses and a small heavenly kingdom of his own.
But the great majority of them were worshipers of the Lord and God, believing the Great Spirit was only a large man in heaven, after the manner of Baal, or Dagon, or Ashtaroth, or any other God.
A war will presently result between Baal and Ashtaroth and Dagon and Haughak; and these Gods will not only war in heaven, but they will carry their battles down to mortals.
Take you heed, O Jerub, of the words of your*** God; and whilst Baal and Ashtaroth are in conflict and neglectful of the temples and oracles, possess you them.
Why, then, is it not well to worship Baal?
The Lord said: The three heavenly kingdoms, Haractu, Eta-shong and Hapsendi, of the Triunes, were independent, but allianced for offence and defence against the evil Gods, Baal, Dagon, Shulleth, Ashtaroth and others, whose angel subjects were kept in slavery, and for evil purposes.
A triangular was was going on in hada and on earth between the angel armies of Baal, Dagon and Ashtaroth, in which ten thousand million angels were engaged under them.
Ashtaroth, the most vengeful Goddess, had previously sent hundreds of millions of her warring angels down to the apostate Jews, to inspire them to wars and cruelties on one another, hoping, to exterminate them, lest they become Baal's subjects.
And yet other millions of warring angels had she sent to the Parsi'e'an cities, and to the Eguptian cities, Daskrath, Babylon and Gonassah and Tyre and Romaxain and to the kings and queens of many other great cities, to inspire them to send forth armies to destroy, not only the worshipers of Jehovih, but all people that worshiped Baal, or Dagon, or any other God.
Baal, on the other hand, had sent hundreds of millions of his warring angels down to the earth, to Heleste and the west regions, and to the Israelites as well, inspiring mortals to war against the east kingdoms, especially Babylon and Daskrath, two mighty cities in the dominions of the Goddess Ashtaroth.
And the cities of Hemia and Babylon and Nine'vah and Gassakad and Hannedan and Saluem should bow down no more to Baal and Ashtaroth, forever.
And, after Xerxes hath despoiled and conquered all the earth regions, Baal and all other Gods should be driven away from the oracles and temples.
But the inhabitants of the far-off stars quarreled because of an evil God, Baal.
Hear you* then the command of Ashtaroth, which is, that you* should go down to the earth, and obsess and inspire the Parsi'e'ans to march forth and destroy all other people on the earth, beginning first with the stronghold of Baal, in Argos, where he hath many sub-Gods under him, where the Argos'yans, not knowing him, call him, Zeus.
For when Baal is overcome and cast into hell, you**** should take his angel slaves, and possess them yourselves, according to your valorous deeds.
Baal, God of the Argos'yans [Greeks], called together two thousand million angel warriors, and after properly officering them, caused them to assemble in Bethhagas, a sub-kingdom of heaven over the Tillag mountains, to the north of Macedon, and he said unto them:
Hear you, then, the commandment of your God, Baal, ruler of heaven and earth: You should go down to the earth, to the Argos'yans, and obsess them, man, woman and child, and inspire them to terrible deeds of blood and havoc and death against the Parsi'e'ans who are coming against them.
Now, it came to pass, that many years of war and destruction ensued; but Baal's hosts were too powerful for Ashtaroth.
And so Baal not only overcame her angel warriors on the earth, but in her heavenly capital also.
Looeamong, the Triune God, said: This is the end, number one; next should fall Baal; and him will I cast in hell also.
Because Looeamong pursued Ashtaroth in conjunction with Baal, and overthrew her and her kingdom, and cast them into hell, he became as a lion, savage at the taste of blood.
But he said: Nay, till I have Baal also cast into hell, I will not cease the carnage of mortal blood.
But Baal, the self-God of Heleste, called his mighty legions in heaven, and sent them down to the earth, redoubled, to inspire mortals to bloody deeds.
Baal said: Mine is an easy doctrine to understand.
All mortals that worship not Baal should be put to death.
I will have them know that Baal is the All Highest God of heaven and earth.
Baal now established two more heavenly kingdoms, one over Jerusalem, and one above the Apennine mountains, off from Roma.
In this emergency, Looeamong, the Triune God of the Holy Ghost, beheld, with fear and trembling, his formidable enemy, Baal.
Now behold, Baal, the most fiendish of all Gods, wage war against our holy doctrines in all the regions of my heavenly kingdoms and on my dominions of the earth also.
Insulting as was this proposal, Looeamong was obliged to accede to it, or to have his kingdom destroyed by Baal.
With these additional forces, Looeamong now renewed the assault on Baal on every side, even more violently in his heavenly places than on the earth.
And it came to pass, that Looeamong routed Baal from his heavenly kingdom, and from his sub-kingdoms also, but he did not capture him, or subdue him.
Baal still maintained an army of three thousand million angel warriors; and he established himself in the city of Roma and Hieadas, that is, Bizantium [Constantinople], but used most of his army as rambling marauders.
Thoth, his chief warrior angel, fighting against Baal, had said: Most Holy Triune, I must give mortals a name to fight for.
Yea, without leaving them, these faithful angels guarded them from all the warring hosts of angels, belonging to the armies of Baal and Ashtaroth, and to the Triune God, Looeamong, and his hosts.
First, the God, Baal, and after him, Thoth, inspired the kings and rulers, against these Faithists.
The craft and wisdom of Baal baffled Looeamong, in both his heavenly battles and his battles for mortals.
And even more desperately was Baal situated against him.
And, for the space of three hundred years, Looeamong gradually gained on Baal and his alliances, both on earth and in heaven.
Baal, however, still maintained himself in Roma, and as God of the Roman empire, but under many names.
In Thebes, six thousand Kriste'yan warriors were massacred by the armies of the emperor Maximum, inspired by Baal.
Through him will I drive Baal out of Roma.
And it came to pass in not many years, that Looeamong, through Gabriel, captured Baal and all the false Gods in all the regions far and near.
Such was the end of the earthly dominion of Baal, who had ruled over mortals for evil, for upward of three thousand years.
And the first ballot gave prominence to the following Gods: Jove, Jupiter, Salenus, Baal, Thor, Gade, Apollo, Juno, Aries, Taurus, Minerva, Rhets, Mithra, Theo, Fragapatti, Atys, Durga, Indra, Neptune, Vulcan, Kriste, Agni, Croesus, Pelides, Huit, Hermes, Thulis, Thammus, Eguptus, Iao, Aph, Saturn, Gitchens, Minos, Maximo, Hecla and Phernes.
And Looeamong had promised Gabriel that, when he overthrew Baal, and cast him in hell, he would give to Gabriel a great heavenly kingdom, with an earthly base.
Third, that I made you* what you are; and by mine own hand helped you* to cast out Baal and Ashtaroth, and all the Roman'yan and Argos'yan Gods.
And you didst promise Thoth, that when he overcame Dagon, Ashtaroth, Baal and other false Gods, you wouldst give to him a heavenly sub-kingdom, with a thousand million subjects.
