"House of Beelzebub" primarily refers to a biblical concept from Matthew 10:25, where Jesus warns disciples that if the "master of the house" (himself) is called Beelzebul (Satan/Lord of the Flies), then his followers will face worse slander, implying a powerful, evil dwelling or hierarchy. In modern media, it's the opulent mansion of the demon Beelzebub in shows like Hazbin Hotel, a place of immense demonic power, contrasting the biblical warning with a literal, extravagant "home" for a demon lord.


Biblical Context (Matthew 10:25)The Saying: "If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household?".
Meaning: Jesus tells his followers not to fear persecution, as they will be slandered just as he was, associated with Satan, the "lord of the flies" or "lord of the dwelling" (Beelzebul/Beelzebub).
Interpretation: It signifies that followers of a divine figure should expect extreme opposition from those who call the master evil, linking the "house" to demonic power.

Modern Pop Culture (e.g., Hazbin Hotel)Beelzebub's Mansion: A lavish, retro-themed palace with honeycomb patterns, gold, and tropical elements, representing the opulent and powerful "home" of a major demon.
