The Deception of Satan in Paradise LostThe speeches of Moloch, Belial, Mammon and Beelzebub represent particular ways of seeing life. Milton took these views from I John 2:15 and 16 which says, “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father's love is not in him. For everything in the world...the lusts of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does, come not from the Father but from the world. » Coming into the world, these demons transferred their philosophies to the human race. This is why these views are still common in today's world, even though the battle of the supernatural is often overlooked. Even in Christian schools, the effect of these philosophies is visible. However, in Hell and in the world, they have proven to be a failure: the noble ideas of these plans will not work with the distinct realities that Hell and Earth represent. Only Beelzebub's idea seems to work, but this will prove false over time. In the Bible, Moloch was the god of the Ammonites who sacrificed their children to him, believing that he would then bring them power. They coveted power and resorted to extreme and evil measures to achieve it. In Paradise Lost, Moloch also covets power. After being cast into hell, he summons the demons to wage war in heaven once again. He believes (he probably deceived himself) that they can defeat God now because they are strong with fury - the fury that comes from having been cast out of glory. They acquired the new tortuous weapons of hell which, coupled with their wrath, would prove victorious over God. In the classroom, the two children in conversation groaned. “So…” he intoned to an annoyed guy, “Did you study for the test?” “Last night, yeah.” With more hesitation, “And you?” "Oh yeah, it's a piece of cake." A smile stretches across his face. "I heard you say that you didn't understand," he put his hand on her shoulder in a sort of comforting motion, "Everything will be fine." Another smile, and he walked towards another group of children. Both children rolled their eyes..
