Al, El and L was the name of a Sumerian deity to whom Abraham paid Homage and in Hebrew the word came to mean God. There was also Adon and Jehovah, Adon was a solar god and Jehovah was a storm god. As time went by the three entities became intermingled through misunderstandings of Hebrew and the evolution of the language into the form used in the OT. Some of the roots are in there, particularly the Pentateuch and the Kabbalah, but most of the later books developed a "Hebrew Arrogance" as I call it as the prophets created a specialness for the Hebrew people that exluded various other people... including other Jewish cultures like Samaritans. An example is that the God of David and Solomon isn't Jehovah when you read their writings... it is Adon and it is from Adon we get the name Adonai, meaning Lord.The evil folk as you call them actually use a similar naming scheme because that is the language and everything was created by the Gods (Genesis uses a word more accurately translated as GODS, no GOD) so everything is of the Gods. Samael, Azazyel, etc. are Hebrew names... whereas names like Asmodeus or Lucifer (mistakenly believed to be Satan) are Roman and Mephistopheles or Astaroth are Coptic in origin. I think...Jason</blockquote>
