Meaning of the name Baal-Perazim

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    Online research: Why did David name the place Baal-perazim? 1 Chronical 14:11 [N] [H] Baal having RENTS, BURSTS, or DESTRUCTIONS, the scene of a victory gained by David over the Philistines ( 2 Samuel 5:20 ; 1 Chronicles 14:11 ). Called Mount Perazim ( Isaiah 28:21 ). It was near the valley of Rephaim, west of Jerusalem. Identified with the modern Jebel Aly.

    The verb בעל (ba’al) means to exercise dominion over; to own, control or be lord over. The ubiquitous noun בעל (ba’al) means lord, master and even husband, and its feminine counterpart בעלה (ba’ala) means mistress or landlady.

    Meta. The understanding that Baal (trust in the outer things of sense) is at the head of all divisions, separations, and disruptions in consciousness (lord of breaches, place of dispersions, lord of destructions). When love (David) unified with I AM (Jehovah) comes to this place of comprehension, the Philistines (lawless, rebellious thoughts and beliefs of the sense consciousness in man) are defeated.

    Baal is a Canaanite and Phoenician deity and the son of the chief god El. In artistic depictions and archeological finds, Baal took the shape of a bull or ram and had associations with fertility. This god also, apparently according to Canaanite lore, defeated El and had associations with the sun and thunder .

    My comment: 11 Sam II Samuel 22:1 from our Lesson… The LORD thundered from heaven. Truth shouts All-mightily… so that error’s voice is drowned out and cannot be heard/known.
