Born too early to explore the stars, born too late to explore the seas, but born just right to watch another hochelaga video.

Demonology as a realm of study is honestly really interesting

This might be useful, here's the timestamp in case you forgot your ABCs. 1:36 Asmodeus 2:18 Belial 3:17 Chemosh 4:06 Dagon 4:41 Exorcism 5:31 Fallen Angel 6:16 Grimoire 6:59 Hades 7:32 Ipos 8:02 Jezebel 8:54 Kokkabiel 9:31 Lilith 10:19 Mastema 11:08 Nephilim 11:49 Ornias 12:32 Pseudo-Christos 13:17 Qeteb 14:07 Ruach Elohim Ra'ah 14:59 Satan 16:04 Titivilus 16:57 Unclean Spirits 17:24 Vampire 18:20 Witches 18:59 Xezbeth 19:40 Yamm 20:27 Zedek/Melki-Zedek *swims away with Yamm and Dagon*

“Maybe demons aren’t so evil after all” sounds like something a demon would say

He's back with biblically banger content

It always amazes me how much of the apocrypha actually made it into mainstream christian belief

I always liked Marchosias, a male demon who appears as a winged she wolf, never lies, and one of several demons that sincerely try to do good things and earn redemption for past evil actions

Diving into demons of the bible becomes a huge rabbit hole of religious myth hunting and learning massive loads about the beliefs Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all appropriated. I love this so much. Thank you for making this.

I absolutely love the production value and overall excellent quality of the videos you make. It's some of the best stuff on KZfaq.

I absolutely love the Yōkai from japanese folklore. Strange apparitions - which is the literal translation of the word Yōkai - that haunt people in all sorts of weird ways. Like the akaname (aka filth lickers), who slurp up dirty bath water. Or the Tōfu-kozō, children serrving you tofu that groes moldy while you eat it. Or myy favorite, the Ashiarai yashiki, which is a giant foot covered in dirt and blood that randomly shows up in your house demanding to be washed in a booming voice.

The witty humour and general quality of these videos are unparalleled!!

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that the "Burney Relief" at 9:54 which you show while talking about Lilith is actually *probably* a portrayal of the goddess Inanna/Ishtar or possibly the goddess Ereshkigal. The several horned crown, and the rod and rings she is holding are symbols of a powerful goddess of high status and would never have been used to portray an evil demon in Mesopotamia.

Lovely video! Here’s one thing about Dagon though, (or Dagan, as he was called by the phoenicians): he actually wasn’t (probably) depicted as a merman. This is a case of folk etymology from the Middle Ages, that tries to explain a mysterious passage of the Bible: it is the same incident you mentioned about the Ark of the covenant, when "Dagon had fallen face downward on the ground before the Ark of the Lord, and the head of Dagon and both his hands were lying cut off upon the threshold; _only Dagon was left on him_ ". Many have tried to explain this last _Dagon_ as his fish part, since in ancient Hebrew "dag" means fish. This theory was encouraged by archeological findings in the Near East, depicting merman gods, like Ea, Enki or Oannes, however, none directly attributed to the phoenician god Dagan. The Septuagint, the ancient greek translation of the Old Testament, actually translates that passage as "ῥάχις Δαγων", Dagon’s back. The writer Philo of Byblos, who had some phoenician sources available, saw Dagan as a fertility god and understood his name as meaning "grain". Which makes some sense, since the few surviving myths of Dagan seem to be related to those of the hurrian fertility god Kumarbi.

9:40 wasn’t she considered the actual first woman, and not Eve? But she was cast out? 16:30 I love how basically people created demons to blame their mistakes on

1:36: Asmodeus 2:18: Belial (Beliya'al) 3:17: Chemosh 4:06: Dagon 4:41: *Exorcism* (Legion; For we are Many) 5:32: *Fallen Angels* (Watchers) 6:17: *Grimoire* (Lesser Key of Solomon) 6:37: Gaap 7:00: Hades 7:32: Ipos 8:01: Jezebel (Ba Al) 8:56: Kokkabiel 9:32: Lilith (Lilitu) 10:19: Mastema 11:08: Nephilim 11:49: Ornias 12:32: *Pseudo-Christos* (The Antichrist, the Beast) 13:18: Qeteb, Deber 14:07: Ruach Elohim Ra’ah 14:59: Satan (Lucifer; The Devil) 16:04: Titivillius 16:57: *Unclean Spirits* (Demons we Think) 17:25: *Vampires* (Alukah) 18:20: *Witches* 18:19: Xezbeth (Al Khadab) 19:41: Yamm (Leviathan) 20:27: Melki/Zedek

The Legion story most likely reflects the ancient belief that knowing something, or someone's, "true name" gives you power over them (like when your mum uses your full name and you know you're really in trouble this time). I am unsure if this is a universal belief or confined to the ancient Middle East, but one of the earliest appearances of this idea is in Egyptian mythology, where Isis tricks Ra into giving up his true name so she can cure his snake bite, turning allowing Isis to turn herself into a Lady God Empress of the Universe.... only with fewer space marines. Either way, it is likely that figuring out the demon's name was standard practice in Jesus' time as well.

Love the biblically themed videos, keep 'em coming!

I am reminded of this verse... 'I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create evil; I, the Lord, do all these things.' Isaiah 45:7

I learn a lot from this channel. I am an agnostic myself but these stories and information just really gets my mind going

i don't always sit through a video undistracted, but your content is SO entertaining to watch! very cool and educational plus funny at times, thank you so much

I really love how you look over biblical writings and mythology with such a historic lens! It gives a lot of context as to how the religion developed.

I love your videos! I am pretty certain the word 'demon' itself derives from the Greek word which just means 'spirit'! You always have quality material. Thanks for sharing it!

Great video! You should make a series where you fully retell some of the biblical books or stories and enrich the videos with all the etymology and context and with just your great knowledge!

I love how you wrap up the discussion with your observations on the data about the Old and the New Testament demons. Thank you for this, it kept my attention for 23 solid minutes! 😊

11:04 before demons got 'demonized' weren't they essentially just spirits of various alignment, walking and acting as agents between realms of mortals and gods?

This is easily one of my favorite channels, thank you!

Your content is always so well made ans well researched! Thank you for filling the content hole of weird stuff for us people who love learnin about these things

Always get excited when you release a video! Thanks for the research and everything you do for the channel. Keep it up

it speaks volumes that angels are intangible, but demons are easy to conceptualize

I'm always really delighted when a new video from you is released! Loved every minute of it

I just found this channel and it’s INCREDIBLE!!! I obviously am not alone in my thinking considering it looks as if you went from 100,000 to over 700,000 in about a year so kudos to you my friend!! Thank you so much for such great content and videos….

i love learning biblical lores and stories so this video was really fun to watch! i subbed :)

I remember a scene from Ghost rider(2007), where the antogonist got boosted and calls himself "Legion" and he says "For we are many" in a menacing voice. Just pointing out reference :)

Your videos are amazing Hochelaga. They never cease to teach and entertain and amaze me

Your videos keep getting better and more interesting. Excellent work!

This cahnnel is so good, i cant help but to drop everything and watch each new video as soon as it drops. Thank you so much

This is fascinating. I'm glad you uploaded. I love all the effort you put into your research and production. I could binge your videos all day!

Neat stuff, i really like how you dive in time and explain some of the religion anachronisms.

Excellent video, glad you're on here making entertaining and informative content!

This truly is my favourite KZfaq channel. I hope you hear that a lot, you surely deserve it.

Love your editing style and the image you find, it feels like opening a book and stumbling upon the images and just getting entranced by them. it makes your video quite interesting

As someone who has watched an anime called “Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun,” I have an entirely different version of what these demons look like in comparison to their canon counterparts😂

much anticipated return, great vid!

Your enthusiasm is such a beam of light

This is a fantastic video, I absolutely love the style of content

Quality content. Thank you

I cannot fault your productions in any kind sir; I wish you all the best is making many, many more... they are most enjoyable and informative

That's the best video on the topic I've been able to find. Thank you!

1:30 When you say you are 'demonsplaining' you are inadvertently insinuating that you are a demon. Love your videos anyway man, please don't possess me.

I’m not a demon… I’m just misunderstood

I always enjoy the content you put out, every video that you come up with just captivates me

Your editing is out of this world🙏✨

Hochelaga really doesn't miss! This was another great video that is perfect for a supernatural investigator like myself 😄😄

Lol i was wholly expecting you to say Beezlebub or Baal for the letter B 😂😂 good stuff!! I always enjoy your channel and can’t wait to see what project you’re working on!

Would love more in depth analysis of some of these demons! Awesome video!!

hochelaga, i must say that i will always double check your channel to make sure ur updating your vid , youre the best

A video about demons from hochelaga is exactly what I needed today

Im glad I get to be early to a hochelaga video, your stuff is always so interesting and entertaining. Thank you for making these videos and keep up the good work!

Gods, your content is so good. Well deserved milestone and hope you reach 1 million soon!

My new favorite channel! Keep up the uber high quality you have done oh so well. You rock

Also, the Apocrypha is only considered non canonical now. Most of those books were considered canonical and very popular during their times. Wasn’t until some people decided “Hmm we should be able to determine what is good enough for the Bible and what isn’t.” which seems super like… blasphemous? If that’s the right word. I used to be Christian and that fact bothered me even then

Love your channle man. You do great videos every time. And as a jewish hebrew speaking man i can say that the way you say hebrew words is almost perfect. Keep going

One of my favorite channels, great man!

Love these sorts of videos. You make great content

The Apocrypha can also be seen as kind of a Bible DLC.

really interesting video, your video on the biblical apocalypse got me into learning about Angels and Demons. would you think about covering the 72 Demons of Goetia from the book of Solomon?

I love your videos! They are so insightful

Having just watched your entire video I must say that it is in fact a masterpiece! 🌹🌹🧙‍♂️

I would looove to hear more about the demons in the lesser key of solomon! thank you for the videooo

Nice video. One correction: the name Jezebel, which in the Masoretic text appears as Izevel, was probably pronounced Izvul or Izebul in ancient Hebrew and has nothing to do with Baal. Zebul, like in the name of Zebulun, means a prince or a judge in ancient Hebrew/Phoenician.

Just found your channel, now I'm here to stay. Awesome stuff dawg, you're well on your way to 1 mil and beyond

I love the videos, will be watching for new ones as hopefully there will be, many blessings in all you do. Take care of you and stay safe.

the best part of Asmodius was when he said "IT'S ASMODIN' TIME" and asmoded all over those guys

10:00 Love that doodle. So weird to think how old iz is. Remonds you that the people who made these things were humans just like you and me.

Never seen this kind of content before, thanks for making this!

Excited for the upcoming videos :)

Dagon is a biblical demon??? Whaaaaaaat? My Call of Cthulhu sessions have suddenly gotten a lot stranger.

That moment where Shin Megami Tensei games made me know most of these demons beforehand lol Btw great video!

Awesome! By the way, the angelic music in the background is amazing!

Been waiting for this one

I love your myth content! There's any chance to talk about the Lesses Key of Solomon?

I remember a godfather of mine (who studied Theology and Philosophy) said that it is essential to know the demon's name because its name is its weakest point. That by knowing the demon's name you have the authority upon it.

I was waiting this video ❤️

Oh I couldn't have expected a more hype video, I'm glad I stayed patient !

Please do 72 spirits of solomon! I know that's a lot to cover, but maybe you can do a long hour video?

I have an interest in anything regarding Demonology, this was a great video! The format and visuals are entertaining as always!

I requested you for this video. Thank you so much. 🙏

Great video! Love the channel

I want video of Grimoire and Soloman's demonologies, those ideas are so cool with so dense informations and it's so sad that most people don't even talk about it viewing it as taboos

This might be a weird request but could you make a video covering Yaldabaoth? I believe it's an incredibly interesting topic which, from what I know, isn't really talked about a lot

I really enjoy your content,thank you

A few months ago while stalking your channel I was watching a 2 year old video I can’t remember which and you said you wanted to do a video about all religious demons and when I went looking for it among your newer videos I couldn’t find it. This is the shit ai’ve been waiting fot

the part on Lilith makes me think a video on the biblical references of evangelion would be awesome, though it can't be forced if you're not familiar with the material.

thank you for the baby name suggestions!!! we’re naming our little one jezebel junior 💞💞💞

Just found this Channel. Immediately subscribed.

thank you for this scrumptious bedtime story, you sound like you'd make a great storyteller

I'm something of an amateur demonologist, so seeing this video upload pop up in my notifications made me pretty happy.

It's almost like demons were created to take the fall when humans commit evil acts

I really love this channel ❤

Yeahhh, love these days when your videos come out!!!
