Allah not only means “curse” in Hebrew, it is also synonymous with Baal. Biblical and historical evidence shows that the Moabites worshiped Baal. Pre-Islamic and Muslim sources show that the Meccans took over the idol Hubal from the Moabites and that Allah and Hubal are actually identical. Thus, whether the Meccans are Ishmaelites or not, the evidence is still strong and sufficient to conclude that Muhammads Allah is actually Hubal, the Baal of the Moabites and thus not the God of the Bible. Muhammad incorporated the characteristics and names of various other gods into his new monotheistic message about Allah, but he apparently started the construction of Allah with Hubal, the chief god of the Meccans. In the Bible Baal is called Satan. Baal Zebub (Hebrew בעל זבוב) occurs in 2 Kings 1:2–6 as the name of the Philistine god of Ekron. “But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God in Israel, [that] ye go to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?” KJV 1611 Ba‘al Zəbûb is variously understood to mean lord of flies, or lord of the (heavenly) dwelling. Originally the name of a Philistine god, Baal, meaning Lord in Ugaritic, was used in conjunction with a descriptive name of a specific god. Jewish scholars have interpreted the title of Lord of Flies as the Hebrew way of calling Baal a pile of dung, and comparing Baal followers to flies. The Septuagint renders the name as Baalzebub (βααλζεβούβ) and as Baal muian (βααλ μυιαν, Baal of flies). Beelzebub, also Beelzebul, is also identified in the New Testament as Satan, the prince of the demons. In Arabic the name is retained as Ba‘al dhubaab / zubaab (بعل الذباب), literally Lord of the Flies. Biblical scholar Thomas Kelly Cheyne suggested that it might be a derogatory corruption of Ba‘al Zəbûl, Lord of the High Place (i.e., Heaven) or High Lord. The word Beelzebub in rabbinical texts is a mockery of the Baal religion, which ancient Hebrews considered to be idol (or, false god) worship. Bismallah, which is In the name of Allah in Arabic, literally spells out 666 in Greek, this is what the Apostle John saw in his visions detailed in the book of Revelation.
