Respectfully...as far as I have been informed and learned by Biblical History, the origins and spiritual roots of the name Baal explicitly and clearly are connected to Nimrod, the first godless rebellion and ruler, a tyrant and despot, a founder of pagan Babylon, builder of a Babel tower ( The Old Testament, The Genesis, chapters 10. and 11.)...and after his death, his wife Semiramis proclaimed him as a "god of sun" - called Baal, according their pagan religious bleiefs and The Bible scriptures clearly explains that Baal always represents a satan through out the history of the pagan civilizations and religion, from the first pagan Babelonian empire to this very present roman-catholic pagan empire..so, if you are truly interested in exploring history I would like to recommend one very good book to find and read carefully ..it's "Babylon mystery religion" by Ralph Woodrow..but the most important source you should read is your Holy Bible...in there you will see and understand that there's no mistaken identity, but clearly explained about origins of Baal or other satanic symbolic representatives on earth. Upon those facts I was worried about your questionable understanding of the identity of Baal. Hope that my friendly approach was helpful and well-intentioned to you!
