Angels-BELIAR

Beliar, meaning “worthless,” is mentioned as the personification or
symbol of evil in various sources, including Deuteronomy, Judges, and
1 Samuel, as well as in the work of two modern writers, Thomas Mann
and Aldous Huxley. He is the angel of lawlessness in the apocryphal
the Martyrdom of Isaiah and Satan in the Gospel of Bartholomew.
Milton refers to Beliar as a “false-titled son of God,” whereas the
medieval Schoolmen (philosophers) assert that he was once part of
the order of angels and part of the order of virtues. In Francis Glasson’s
Greek Influence in Jewish Eschatology, however, Beliar is not regarded as an angel, rather he is compared with Ahriman, chief devil
in Persian mythology.
