"Beelzebub (Hebrew: בעל זבוב, Baʿal Zəvûv Arabic: بعل الذباب, Baal az-Zubab;, literally "Lord of the Flies"; Greek: Βεελζεβούλ, Velzevoúl; Latin: Beelzebūb), with numerous archaic variants, is a Semitic deity that was worshiped in the Philistine city of Ekron. In later Christian and Biblical sources, he is referred to as another name for Satan, and in demonology, is one of the seven princes of Hell.
Rabbinical literature commentary equates Baal Zebub of Ekron as lord of the "fly."
Beelzebub is commonly described as placed high in Hell's hierarchy; he was of the order of Seraphim, which in Hebrew means "fiery serpents". According to the stories of the 16th-century occultist Johann Weyer, Beelzebub led a successful revolt against Satan, is the chief lieutenant of Lucifer, the Emperor of Hell, and presides over the Order of the Fly." (excerpted from Wikipedia)
Because of their frivolous life, flies were used to signify sin throughout history. The capacity to command flies is the mark of the devil. (from NIH report on flies)
Beelzebub - Originally a Syrian god, Beelzebub is in II Kings 1:3, a god of Ekron in Philistia. In the cabala, he is chief of the 9 evil hierarchies of the underworld. In Matthew 10:25, Mark 3:22, and Luke 40:15, Beelzebub is chief of the demons, "prince of the devils" (as in Matthew 12:24), but he is to be distinguished from Satan (just as he is in all magic, medieval or otherwise). In the Gospel of Nicodemus, Christ, during his 3 days in Hell, gives Beelzebub dominion over the underworld in gratitude for permitting him (Christ), over Satan's objections, to take Adam and the other "saints in prison" to Heaven. A popular title of Beelzebub was "lord of the flies." Another of his titles was "lord of chaos," as given in the gnostic writings of Valentinus.
And from NYT June '09:
"White House staff members report that they and their boss have been routinely bothered by the bugs, (flies) and have seen the First Exterminator personally enforcing a no-fly zone in the West Wing.
White House officials say that strenuous debugging measures have been undertaken in recent weeks: Anti-insect lights have been installed in the National Security Council suite and the lower press office. Staff members have been issued fly swatters, and one, Brian Mosteller, stood at the ready during Mr. Obamas television interviews on Tuesday (a lot of good he did). Some staff members have requested chemical intervention but have been denied.
Its not clear why there has been so much buzz in the Obama White House...."
...from an (Israeli) blog called http://lasalettejourney.blogspot.co.il:
"Is there a spiritual component to the White House fly infestation? While some will no doubt dismiss the very idea (such people usually dismiss supernatural realities altogether), we should all reflect on the words of the world's leading exorcist, Father Gabriele Amorth, in his book An Exorcist: "..I have seen with my own eyes, that houses suddenly became infested with flies, flying ants, repulsive insects (such as scorpions or other unidentifiable pests), which just as suddenly and completely disappeared after we sprinkled holy water throughout the rooms or exorcized the place." (pp. 156, 157).
Just as Ba'al Zebub was allowed to test Israel's faithfulness to God, so too in our time the Prince of demons roams about seeking whom he may to devour. Is the White House fly infestation evidence of demonic presence and influence there?"

When the Obama’s first moved into the White House, BHO2’s MIL, Mrs.Robinson, was warned to discontinue her voodoo practices in the basement.
Such rituals involve animal sacrifices, and dead, putrefying flesh and blood attract flies if not promptly cleaned up.
Flies require moisture and nutrients for their offspring. The fact these flies keep appearing makes it apparent their breeding locale is unaffected by attempts to eradicate them.
I suggest those charged with eradication follow Mrs.Robinson into the basement.
I believe lt. There is no other reason for these bizarre happenlngs.
God sends us signs so we may identify evil and satan’s ways. Maybe those who said Obama was anti-christ might not have been nuts after all!
Come on, shibumi, you can do better than that! One of the worst photoshop fails ever. You can see the square insert.
Drudge STILL has the four assorted ‘flies on Obama’ pix posted...
Well you know what attracts flies the most, Sh@@. Maybe he should take a shower.
They smell the same.
Come on. You know muslims don't shower.
Yeah, I think your not far off,
Lots of creepy weird things about this administration, and not saying that the king of Babylon at the end is King of the USA, only that the antichrist whatever it is, first is a spirit at work in the world, and I believe later is embodied as as a personage out of the bottomless pit, and this ‘beast’ thing wont be revealed until the restrainer (Holy Spirit) is no longer restraining,
In Babylon, the Euphrates was the life blood of the land and ran through middle of the city, which made it strong and seemingly impossible to defeat being surrounded with huge walls and gates, the water level was diverted up river to lower it enough for the Medes and Persians to enter in secretly. In the USA, the dollar is the life blood of the land, the worlds reserve currency, and that wealth is being transferred, dried up, and it too has a river running through it that’s drying up, and that wealth is going to “the kings of the east”
Babylon was given 70 years to the very day to be the preeminent world power in the Earth and in relation to its treatment of Israel,
I discovered awhile back something I thought was interesting at least, that 70 years after the United States used the first Atomic bomb in war, on August 6th, 1945, (effectively receiving a great sword ) and then rose to be the ultimate national power on the Earth on that very day,
That it’s exactly 25200 days (70 years X 360 days) to the 9th of AV in August of 2014.
What does that mean? I don’t know, but if it means anything at all, it won’t be meant for good,
We couldn’t find a better person to be in the role of Belshazzar, or even Nimrod,
“Return, O LORD, how long? . . .”
Psalm 90
Maybe those who said Obama was anti-christ might not have been nuts after all!
People ask me that from time to time. My answer is always along the lines of “he is either the amateur he appears to be, in which case he will go down hard, or he is the Beast of revelation, in which case it will take overt involvement of God to bring him down. But I always thought it was probably the former.
After his re-election and the amazing delusion about him I see all around me, I’m inching toward the latter. This inches me further in that direction.
You and I are on the same page. In my case I base it on “this generation shall not pass away until all these things come to pass. In the bible it is clear that a generation is 70 years. And the first thing that happened (from my perspective) to be included in the generation is the return of Israel to the Jews in 1948, not to mention them taking posesion of the dead sea scrolls at the same time.
That put the maximum end date at around 2018.
People don’t realize just how fast the world changes these days and it is speeding up exponentially. I have no doubt the world will be a very different place by this time next year. And significantly more so a year after that.
We are living in VERY interesting times.
It couldnt be something as natural as a small animal such as a mouse dying somewhere out of sight being consumed by maggots that mature in a day or two in to flies?
Not to discount the demonic nature of Obama but flies are flies.
Flies are flies, but bear with me, no matter your religion.
Just some questions - but you may find them enlightening no matter what your answers. I am not trying to “lead” you.
Do you believe in good and evil?
Absolutely?
Do you believe that they are manifested on Earth?
Concretely?
How are they manifested?
Do you believe in historical lessons?
If we cannot say right away what a certain thing means or indicates, what lessons can we point to?
What symbols (signs) can we reference to find these lessons?
Why do signs - referents - exist?
Why do we fear snakes?
Why are flies of all things associated with evil?
Judge a tree by its fruit.
Judge a man by his deeds.
I dont need signs and portents to judge Obama as evil. His deeds speak for themselves.
Perhaps Obama is possessed by a demon perhaps not. I do not see flies as a definitive indicator of demonic presence. I have know plenty of good people that seem to attract flies. I think it may have something to do with lactose intolerance.
I call Obama evil because of his deeds. I need nothing else to judge him evil.
