    <h1>Asmodeus

    The name of the demon mentioned in the Book of Tobias (iii, 8). The name is most probably derived from the Hebrew root meaning "to destroy": so that the being would correspond to the demon called Abaddon, the Destroyer in the Apocalypse 9:11. The Book of Tobias relates that the virgin Sara, the kinswoman of Tobias, had been given successively to seven husbands; but they had all been slain on the night of the nuptials, before the consummation of the marriage. From this fact, a superstition had arisen that the demon loved the maiden and slew her husbands through jealousy. In the Greek text of Tobias, it is stated that the younger Tobias himself was moved by this superstition. The inspired text in no way approves the superstition. God allowed the demon to slay these men because they entered marriage with unholy motives.

    Rev 9:10-12

    .....And they had tails like to scorpions: and there were stings in their tails. And their power was to hurt men, five months. And they had over them 11 a king, the angel of the bottomless pit (whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek Apollyon, in LatinExterminans). 12 One woe is past: and behold there come yet two woes more hereafter.

    ASMODEUS,

    Name of the prince of demons. The meaning of the name and the identity of the two forms here given are still in dispute.

     

    In the Book of Tobit.

     

    Asmodeus first appears in the Book of Tobit.......

     

    Testament of Solomon.

     

    Akin to this representation in Tobit is the description of Asmodeus in the Testament of Solomon, a pseudepigraphic work, the original portions of which date from the first century. Asmodeus answered King Solomon's question concerning his name and functions as follows:Test. of Solomon, transl. in "Jewish Quarterly Review," xi. 20.

     

    "I am called Asmodeus among mortals, and my business is to plot against the newly wedded, so that they may not know one another. And I sever them utterly by many calamities; and I waste away the beauty of virgins and estrange their hearts. . . . I transport men into fits of madness and desire when they have wives of their own, so that they leave them and go off by night and day to others that belong to other men; with the result that they commit sin and fall into murderous deeds."

    Asmodeus or Asmodai (Hebrew: אשמדאי‎ Ashmedai) (see below for other variations) is a king of demons mostly known from the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit.[1] The demon is also mentioned in some Talmudic legends, for instance, in the story of the construction of the Temple of Solomon. He was supposed by some Renaissance Christians to be the King of the Nine Hells. Asmodeus also is referred to as one of the seven princes of hell.

    Daeva (Old Pers., daiva; Middle Pers., dēv: 'shining one'). One of a group of gods in Ancient Persia (cf. DEVA) who were denounced by Zoroaster as demonic and as gods of war and strife.

     

     

    Yeah, that name and that term have been around for ....erm....forever.

     

    I kinda doubt it was an accident.

    I would go for the higher resolution 1920x1200 over the 1080p models. More pixels are better, especially on a big 27 incher.

     

    My new monitor has a IPS panel in it, and after using one, I will never, ever, for never ever buy a TN panel again. Well, but the 120hz monitors that has built in 3D support interests me.

    in What's Up?

    Cool, thanks.

     

    She was pretty excited. Every kid going into 5th grade in Michigan got a booklet I believe last year. It listed all kinds of places to go and questions to learn the answer to at each place. She worked at it, and we spent a lot of time on it, and she LOVED it.

    Fun learning is always the best.

    Our daughter won 1 of 10 grand prizes for Michigan's passport to adventure. She toured a bunch of places in Michigan (like the state capital, the zoo, supreme court building, etc) and answered some questions regarding each. Then she was chosen as 1 of the 10. Her prize was a new ipod touch! Nice!
