Evil Judaism Moabites Personification Satan Ugly Belphegor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century depicts the biblical demon of evil, Belphegor. The intricate details in this French print bring to life the ancient and sinister character worshipped by the Moabites, as mentioned in Numbers 25:3. Belphegor's appearance is truly striking; his ugliness personifies wickedness itself. His menacing expression and piercing eyes send shivers down one's spine, while his long beard adds an air of wisdom tainted by malevolence. This image serves as a chilling reminder of the power that evil can hold over humanity. The significance of this artwork extends beyond its aesthetic value. It offers insight into ancient beliefs and practices surrounding demonic entities within Judaism. Belphegor represents a dark force that tempted individuals towards immorality and away from their faith. As we gaze upon this haunting portrayal, it is impossible not to be captivated by its eerie allure. The artist masterfully captures both the physical attributes and spiritual essence of Belphegor, making him a formidable symbol for all that is wicked in our world. This wood engraving stands as a testament to human fascination with darkness throughout history—a reminder to remain vigilant against temptation and always strive for goodness in our lives.
