The Origins of Lilith | Adam's First Wife? 

I’ve read somewhere before that Lilith was married to Asmodeus. Is this just another variation and if so how did it originate. Thank you for all that you do. 👌🍻

In the bible, isn't it the Abrahamic god who levels a curse of difficult childbirth on Eve and all her female descendants? Why blame demons when Lord Jealous already did such a great job?

Notes from an alternate Timeline: Eve bit the apple, granting her omniscience, and saw the *fracture* in God's creation: Lili had fled, the Work was impure! And so, by offering Adam a bite, Eve proved the flaw to God: when God arrived to ask what Adam had done, Adam *blames his own free will upon temptation* ... how could God give Adam omniscience, from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as well as omnipotence, from the Tree of Eternal Life, if Adam would allow himself to be controlled by others? Even the Serpent realized that risk of impure godhood, saying "We must stop him from becoming LIKE US." That was what Eve saw, and proved. Lili fled; she was not preferring the wilderness or her role in it. It was a failed parentage on the part of God; look to the old Phoenician story of Persephone. Samael is the same groom as Dis. The wheel of time returns to Yom Kippur, when vows are renewed; the Age of Pisces was the renewal of vows, when Lili could break her wedding to Samael, Persephone could break her wedding to Dis. Persephone, until that Age, was ONLY allowed to reach the surface due to a *bargain* : that she sacrifice her son, the Three-Faced God Bacchus, in his child-form, iacus. When the angel Gabriel came to pour the lily of the Holy Spirit into Mary, the angel *told* Mary that her child would be named 'iesu' - which was the name for that Three-Faced child of Persephone, iacu. Persephone's son was sacrificed for the last time, on the Yom Kippur of the Wheel of TIme, to liberate the world from the bloody child-sacrifice of the Eleusinian Mystery.

Good one!

Yes, absolutely legendary.

You should watch the video with British Museum curator Irving Finkel talking about mesopotamian ghosts: Mesopotamian ghostbusting with Irving Finkel.

@@kellydalstok8900 I already saw that😁 it's great!

It's like the demonology version of "why don't the incels just date each other"

That was only one way, another way is to call on Pazuzu, the demon from the exorcist, to drive them away.

The idea of doing such things isn't really new many peo0le believed/believe that naming you child after a entity or demon will grant protection from the namesake

You can be sure every "Lilith" is named so by their mothers, not by their fathers.... And that conjecture in itself is telling of what these people and sexes are like.

Lilith isn’t a baby killer in other mythology

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@justbreathe_isnt Lilith purely Jewish?

That sounds fascinating! Is this short story translated somewhere on the internet? I couldn't find it.

Some people believe that even those who are named after Lilith, that have evil intentions.

I'm willing to bet a lot of it is Frasier fans going, oh that's a pretty name, google says it means night!

​@@morgenstern7865wouldnt their faith protect them? Then why worry?

@@youtubestudiosucks978 there was an old aramaic phrase about it. I don't remember the actual phrase but it basically meant first *special* sin. Apparently if you start a sin trend you would be cursed by the throne. Started with Lucifer(casting from heaven), followed by Lilith(all her children killed by 3 angels mentioned in the video and unable to have children), Cain(walk the earth till the end of earth and not belong anywhere, not loved properly) etc. I couldnt find any sources to the claims of being named after but I was told their names are also cursed, allegedly if you are named after them you will be like them. I mean this belief exists in many cultures even outside bible or torah influence. Being named after somebody makes you become like them overtime. Some sort of fate or destiny.

Same Here! Interesting re-interpretation of biblical themes in this anime.

Me too

Supernatural for me 🤙🏻

gotta hand it to the shows creators for translating their knowledge of this

Me too!

I wondered if the use of Lilith as the strong, smart female psychologist in that show helped to push the name back to popularity.

@@KarlWitsman I wonder the same thing. I really wish SSA published more birth names for a given year than just the top 1000. I'm sure there were bumps in the mid 80's & 90's from the character. I would imagine more so in the 90s because she became a more dimensional character then even though she appeared more frequently in cheer's

Just curious are your religious at all or atheist?

@@BeauxLo I'm of the heathen variety

@@KarlWitsmanLilith Faire.

There is some confusion with succubi/incubi here. I don't see any sexual congress mentioned, just attacks on both grown-ups and especially children. Demons were personifications of disease in most of history and in most religions - not tempters to unchristian behaviour. Most children died before reaching adulthood.

Which I believe is the same story behind Jesus lol "Yeah.... I got impregnated by uhhhh.. GOD!"

I wondered if it was an early explanation of STI's/STD's, particularly as it causes harm to infants and mothers during childbirth

@@hyperfixatedd Except you're forgetting that Jesus was a very real person who performed very real miracles in front of countless witnesses. Christianity didn't spread like wildfire across the planet cause of made up story time. It happened because Jesus proved himself in front of many and word spread. So you know. Maybe try to avoid saying blasphemous things if you care about your soul at all.

@@bestieswithtesties sure buddy

@@Jahzilla.right?!!

Too late 😊

Yes, as well as the idea of women retaining their femininity whilst taking no s*

Well yeah pretty much. There was just a medieval fanfiction about the liliths. So it's cool

Still most of these beliefs and superstitions predates the hebrew bible as he himself said, and the ideas came from mesopotamia. Still we have to understand that not all terms mean proper names but are just terms or even metaphors, which people would have understood because they were familiar with the terms because of language similarity. The part of lilith being used as a term for a night creature is a good example of this.

Either you're too young to know, or so old you've forgotten the partner of your first wet dream. If dreams are "superstition" then dogs (dreaming creatures) are true believers.

@@differous01 dogs ARE the true believers.

@@cipmaster1 The Israelite tradition also far pre-dates the Hebrew bible.

​@@differous01I think she visited me a couple of nights ago. Oh what a party. 😂😂😂 Pax

Yes, I kept thinking of the Frasier "Lilith" all through the video. I am guessing it is no accident that the writers picked that name for that character. She is a strong forceful modern competent woman on the one hand and yet has (for Frasier at least) a succubus-like component.

Oh, shoot! I'm embarrassed! Nanny G was Frasier's first wife. Lilith was number two.

Not a very flattering metaphor, lol. Frasier’s Lilith was pure toxicity, which means she earned her namesake.

​@@bluesdealeri beg to differ.

"I'm Doctor Frasier Crane, and I'm listening." 😄

this reminds me of the chinese who believe that a man cannot rest in peace if he died unmarried so they perform ghost marriages. some even resorted to stealing dead female bodies to do the ritual.

@@EnkiduShamesh Lol!🤣😂👍

You sound like eve

'to become a demon about it' sounds so funny for some reason

Some also come from fantasy fiction, and don't forget D&D original creatures like Beholders and Owlbears.

I remember the sexy Succubus in the original Monster Manual

I cover that in the final act. An interesting 'rebrand' of the figure!

server of chicken soup lol

What's really interesting is that feminism can be directly linked to birthrates falling below replacement in every advanced economy, and heading that direction everywhere else in the world too. So it's barely even a rebranding. Still a "threat" to motherhood, just preemptively now.

Just because woman are no longer forced to be breeding machines that is not why the population is falling so severely. It's simply because with climate change, war, recession egg it is no longer feasible to have kids

@@JCPRuckusno, feminism is stronger because of the falling birth rates. Economic progress leads to less Kids which gives women more time to fight for their rights! Feminism isn’t a threat to motherhood, only forced motherhood

Remarkably insightful!

Middle schooler comment

@@mohmj6815 sorry, some of made it past the 4th grade nitwit

I'd say it kind of is fan fiction all the way down : p

​@@mohmj6815well then, the middle schooler is more clever than so many adults

This just isn't true. Baphomet isn't Babylonian and is probably a mispelling of Mohammad while Pazuzu is more an enemy of my enemy deal. Even then Pazuzu only became a Christian villain in a modern Hollywood film and had no presence in post-Christian context before then. Pazuzu is outright evil in some Babylonian exorcism texts unlike his Egyptian equivilant Bes who is more benevolent. Mathew 12:22-28 seems to reference a similar practice to using Pazuzu against Lamashtu but it talks about Baalzebub who isn't Babylonian so is probably a local equivilant to Pazuzu but not the same character anymore than Bes is the same. Evil female spirits from Christian cultures like Hags and Succubi are generally based on pagan spirits that were malevolent in the original pagan context like Lamia. Christians even reversed some of the demonisation done in the Bible by re-using the Queen of Heaven title desparaged by the prophets for the Virgin Mary. Even Ishtar is a villain on ocaison, pretty much all pagan deities mix positive and negative traits. Even the evil version of Venus in the Tannhauser legend is just emphasising elements of the character that are negative and destructive in pagan sources and never became the sole portrayal of Venus in Christian Europe. The Christian demon Asteroth is less a demonised Ishtar and more a original male demonic character re-using a name that wasn't understood any more.

@@AC-dk4fp You seem to be conflating Christian with Catholic. Catholics have not _reversed some of the demonization_ of the "Queen of Heaven" title used by Jeremiah; they worship the Virgin Mary in the same manner as _pagans_ worshipped *S T R* (Ishtar, Astarte, Ashtoreth, Ashtaroth, Easter, Et cetera) because they are all one and the same. *S T R* is the name of the female deity/demon, the vowels are nonexistent/interchangeable.

​@@John.Flower.Productionsno, we do not worship the Virgin Mary. We honor her as the Queen of All Saints and ask for her prayers and intercession with God.

Baphomet is not a Biblical demon. I don't think Ishtar appears in the Bible but her Phoenician variant, Astarte/Ashtoreth, does, I forgot which book though

@@manmoy4104 *S T R* is the name of the female deity/demon, the vowels are nonexistent/interchangeable.

Trey The Explainer also has a good video on this, and a few other biblical characters

Esoterica has a few videos on her. It's a wild ride. If you want to go deeper

The Esoterica videos are very very good.

Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

L plot

@@shelbyspeaks3287sounds brutally cringe

​@@ethanhunt5243there's nothing more cringe than a purity ball with creepy fathers invested in their daughters virginity 🤢🤮

Seen it. Liked it

Yes, it was an episode of the “Into the Dark” series on Hulu.

There's an even more obscure tale of the first Eve. God made a first version of Eve (post Lilith) from Adam's rib while Adam was fully awake and witnessed the creation. Adam was so disgusted with seeing this Eve's innards being formed that he wouldn't have anything to do with her. God made a second version of Eve, only this time Adam was put to sleep during her creation. Apparently third time is a charm because this was Adam's final wife. What happened to Eve 1.0 is a mystery. If you look at this through the lens of orthodox Christian theology, Lilith and Eve 1.0 (and the Virgin Mary if you are Catholic) were the only humans that did not bear the stain of original sin (Lilith being a human until she uttered the ineffable name of God). I've got to see _Evangelion._

They did used Lilith in Vampire the Masquerade. She is the one who teached Cain how to use his vampiric powers. Also some vampires think she is their progenitor instead of Cain.

About WoD, another story is she's the mother of witches and teaches the Magi how to alter reality. 😊

Evangelion has a twist on this, the progenitor of the beings called Angels is named Adam, while the progenitor of humanity (or lilim) is called Lilith. Meanwhile mecha robot Evangelions (Eva) were created from Adam.

Eve is a stepford wife while Lilith is the original first borne.

Goes against God's word because her husband doesn't let her be on top and sleeps with and has the children of a literal demon. Lol sympathetic come on now...

Amharic is a Semitic language too. I wouldn't be surprised if there's an etymological link.

@@strangelaw6384 Remember how some translations of lilith were "night creature" or something like that and also its almost universally an entity associated with the night given thats when the dirty deeds happen.

I was looking to make a similar comment. Also that she was Adam's first wife. This was where I first heard of her but as a child I had no idea of her back story.

Exactly why people see her as an incorrectly villain-ized figure thus becoming a feminist icon for some now.

That's a good bit of the issue, surely. I also wouldn't be surprised if there weren't also a supernatural side to it. A number of people who seek exorcisms suffer merely from psychological issues and perhaps epilepsy. Then there are people who are truly possessed. You discount this truth at your own peril. There's more to this universe than can be explained by the theory of some cosmic explosion.

​@@lucfierslightHow can you be sure it's incorrect? You, in exercising that luciferian intellect, never left room for the possibility that there's a purely negative origin point for this "myth?" Something in no way related to the misunderstood illumination of man's once darkened understanding but something that is inconceivably sly and has nothing but a venomous contempt for human kind? Something real enough and evil enough to place a clawed hand over the mouth and nose of the infant in it's crib?

I think she's real because she has had enough spiritual energy cast toward her

I highly recommend you read Lilith, if you haven't already. George MacDonald was a fascinating thinker and a very influential writer. Some of his stuff can be a little dense (and it definitely has a hard monarchist bent), but worth reading.

Oh, I would be shocked if it wasn’t deliberate on their part. It was one of the wittiest character name choices of all time.

I remember first watching Frasier with my mother as a kid and she busted out laughing at the name of Lilith and told me the story of Lilith - as understood by Jewish tradition; pretty sure it was deliberate.

That was my first thought.

Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments).

You went in the 90s and whenever curious about the title until now? I think I envy you. I was in the library, in the 90s, trying to figure it out.

@@Saffron-sugar I envy you having the time to drop go to the library and research every single thing that you're curious about, and also the time to make left handed compliments to total strangers.

I despise humans. They're evil, vile demons. I care for the pure in heart and soul only. Humanity as a whole made their choices. And as a result, those who did evil will be repaid for the evil they did. Eye for an eye.

Watching two videos about Evangelion and this popped up

But abi means dad or daddy.

Thats a cool view

I think it's more likely that the phrase comes from Middle English "lulley by" which means "a song to lull away" due to the fact that that Middle English writings literally use "Lulley by" to mean lullaby. Also, I feel like 'abi' would mean something like 'father' not goodbye: compare to modern Hebrew 'avi' or Aramaic 'abba' (where we get the word abbot).

@@jared_bowden Yup, "abi" means dad or daddy. Hebrew doesn't even have a "goodbye". We use shalom as a greeting and a farewell. Lullaby absolutely comes from Middle English.

@@SewardWriter or is that Abba
