The Cry of
Agaliarept

((The Henchman of Hell) (Poetic Prose: Glory, betrayal and Revenge))

By Dennis L. Siluk, Ed.D.



Agaliarept, Demonic Henchman
from Earth’s Underworld



I


For a thousand years alone the King with Ten-wings, our Emperor Lucifer, had been chained in a hollow part of the earth, now released.
From all the continents and seas on earth, he had conquered each country
Nor was there any province or standing structure left he did not leave his mark on.
There was neither city nor hamlet uninterrupted by his force and velour in those far-off days.
He now summons the Lords and Dukes of the Netherworld unto him:
“Hearken, my henchmen, lords and dukes, unto me, the King have returned with grit and sin and woe.
Here now I come, King of the Air, and Earth, to overthrow God’s chosen once again.
I have only a little time to do what I must; avoid Christ, with all your might,
There is no way to beat him in a fight.
As wise men, I give you counsel. Show Him how man will shame him once again, and leave their abode, for folly. They will worship me as they did Zeus, Apollo, and Seth, Ra and Gilgamesh, and the Tiamat , that kind, and you and me. I will do as I did before and the world will no longer shun evil, but seek fortune that beleaguered them, and brought their downfall. Even the wisest of the Christians, men of chivalry, and the Jews, and Muslims did I show my cunning and skilful attackers how to overlord their fellow men, for self-interest. ”
None spoke a word, save the Arch Devil Belphegor, Demon King, alone from Agaliarept
Lucifer’s right hand, the henchman and General of a legend in Hell.

“Do not be dismayed.
But send unto me the arrogant and strong, the ones that show most promise, and of faithful service and friendship with God.
I will make them sin, and give them to God as gifts, like dead dogs and lions, and dirty camels, and ten-thousand hawks well slain.
With gold and silver and women, and glory, will I teach them betrayal; it shall be our load,
This is—moreover—the road you must travel,
Wherewith your pay is revenge, he has ruled earth long enough!
And unto the clergy it behooves me not to try and control our destiny, and change it to everlasting banishment on a sphere of our own, if we can show Him, man is not redeemable, and therefore, neither are we. If man shall turn once more from Christ, and his beliefs
To seek the greater heavenly truths, to take his truth as a hostage, perchance we can procure what he has judged wrong, to a lighter sentence, and thereby he perish from our existence, our sight, and leave the earth to us, and perhaps let humanity die once and for all, and walk away from us with what little honor and dignity, I shall allow him to have, like a beggar in his own land.”
And the entire underworld hurrahed at his speech!

Said Agaliarept, moreover:
“Now by my right hand,
And mighty fist (and with that he pounded on his chest) we shall beat the wind out of mankind,
Soon shall you see—my King—(Agaliarept on one knee looking up to Lucifer now, as the horde looks on) my legion the best of the lot in shoal—we shall lead astray man, and he will depart their first love, to be each a man among himself, to his own glory and satisfaction, he will have in his house his own chapel, be his own God, the day will come soon; this era will pass; no tiding will there be to God and his kindness, and they will be my hostages, and I will smite the heads of those who do not follow like a poison serpent. And men will be proud once again in himself, and outspoken. And God will let them die, so heaven we gain, and the beautiful and the bright, we will teach them bitter evil or force them to undergo such. If only you could send us the ancient Angelic Renegades, of the time of Enoch.”
Said the Ten-winged ancient Adversary: “Indeed, this all may come about as you say.”

Lucifer, the Adversary to God had finished his first council for the forenoon.
And thereafter, he summoned Azaz’el, and the other angelic renegades, of his array.
Amasras (once a great leader), who taught mankind incantations and Asder’el who taught mankind the course of the moon, along with Baraqiyal (astrology) there appeared.
And the high order of Demons that were known, appeared carrying The Book of the Black Serpent in hand, moreover, Vehu, Yeli, Sit, and they spoke Aramaic (the ancient language of Palestine)
Twenty beings of the most villainous he summoned, and he spoke:
“Wicked ones, unto the world I will send you, ye shall go down.
Your evil will and submission to your Emperor shall be declared and all those under you
And if through your evil counsel ye may achieve a peace within the world,
and if that part of the world worships me I will give you all you ask for, and as much as makes you pleased
And enough gold and silver.”

Then said the Devil men:
“Enough we have already, just to be here.” He closed the second counsel then.



V


Arch Devil Belphegor, said unto the Henchman, and all the devil men:
“My elite, ye must fare well.
And in your grips break the branches of hope for mankind—his spirit, and give no olive branch for friendship
Ye shall perform tricks, magic to bind the world,
That on you he has no mercy only Lucifer can give clemency if they do not worship him,
I shall follow my you my ambassadors of evil, with a thousand eyes faithful to Lucifer
