Belial, often associated with wickedness, is a figure found in various religious and literary texts. In the Bible, he is depicted as a symbol of lawlessness and moral corruption, representing the antithesis of righteousness. The term "Belial" has come to signify extreme wickedness and is sometimes used to describe individuals who embody these traits. In Christian theology, Belial is sometimes linked to Satan and is considered a demon or fallen angel. The name has been used in various works of literature, including John Milton's "Paradise Lost," where he represents the spirit of rebellion against divine authority. Belial's character serves as a cautionary symbol of the consequences of straying from moral paths.
