BAAL
B


Pagan gods.

Baal was the common name of the many local idols of the Canaanite nations. 'Baal' is frequently linked to a place name, identifying the idol as the local god of that area. The name means 'lord' or 'master'.
Israel encountered Baal worship as they crossed the Jordan and entered the Promised Land. God instructed Israel to destroy utterly both the idols and the Baal worshippers, but this they failed to do, and after the death of their leader Joshua, were frequently involved in Baal worship themselves.

"Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died… And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim: And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the Lord to anger. And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and Ashtaroth." (Judges 2:8-13, KJV).

Elijah the prophet challenged the priests of Baal in the name of Jehovah and they were totally discredited: "Elijah went before the people and said, 'How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.'" (1 Kings 18:21).
