We will try to clear up many of those questions with this lesson below so read on and be blessed.
Lesson Two Part One And Part Two:
"Demons and Angels Explained".
Lesson Two Part One [ Where did the Angels come from? ]
1: Angels were created by God before the creation of the earth as we know it today. They were there when God created the earth as confirmed by these following scriptures.
2: [ Colossians 1:16-17: ]
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
3: [ Psalm 148:2 & 5: ]
verse 2: Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Verse 5: Let them praise the name of the LORD: for he commanded, and they were created.
4: [ Job: 38:4 & 7: ]
Verse 4: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Verse 7: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ and all the sons of God (angels) shouted for joy?
Remember (Lesson One Part One) taught that Original Documents say that Genesis One verse 1: actually talks about the original creation of the earth and the heavens.
The information that was left out is that earth was originally created perfect for the angels who at that time were all good.
This is indicated in Isa. 45:18; For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, he created it not in vain,
He formed it to be inhabited: [Original documents say this is speaking about the actual creation before the re-creation of the earth and Adam as we know it today.] I am the LORD; and there is none else.
God did not create the heavens and the earth without form, void, and dark, it became that way as a result of Lucifer giving into his own pride and leading his fallen angels into Heaven in rebellion against God attempting to take over His throne and rule the universe. [2nd Pet. 3:5-7; Jer. 4:23-26]
5: The word angel means messenger.
They are messengers from God sent to people and at times they will appear in human form as in
[ Genesis 18:2 & 16 ]. Original documents say they can also take the form of animals as well.
6: God created various kinds and ranks of angels as follows.
Archangels: These are the highest rank in the Heavenly Host.
Cherubim: These are the guardian angels of God. Satan was one of them and was appointed as a guardian cherub as indicated in the following scriptures.
(Ezekiel 28:13, 14, 15)
verse 13: Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; ~~~~~~~~~ in the day that thou wast created.
Verse 14: Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
Verse 15: Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Seraphim: These are the ones nearest to God's throne who continually praise His Holiness as indicated in the following scriptures. (Isaiah 6:2,3,6)
Verse 2: Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
Verse 3: And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Verse 6: Then flew one of the seraphims unto me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
Original documents say that there were other types of angelic beings created but not mentioned in scriptures because there are too many, as scripture says they are innumerable.
To sum it all up let me say this, angels are not your loved ones who have passed away as we have proven by the scriptures.
People who believe this can also be deceived into believing they are communicating with them, appearing to them, and guiding them.
If this is happening to you, it is not your departed loved one but an angel posing as them. This can be done by good angels for a special purpose that God has sent them for or an evil fallen angel when satan sends them to deceive.
Lesson Two Part Two [ Where did the Demons come from? ]
1: Demons are disembodied spirit personalities that are in
need of a body to house them.
They are earthbound Unlike angels that can come and go.
It is hard for us to entertain the idea of a creature or
person without a body.
Nevertheless, even though demons have no bodies, they have
all the normally accepted marks of personality.
1. Will
2. Emotion
3. Intellect
4. Self-awareness
5. Ability to speak
[ Mark 16:13,17: ] And He (Jesus) said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. .. . And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils.
Jesus states very clearly those "that believe, in My name shall they cast out devils."
I sometimes wonder what today's born again believers think these words are saying. They are very clear! Part of our calling to witness includes casting out devils, also referred to in different translations as unclean spirits, evil spirits and demons.
I believe the most accurate description would be unclean spirits. In this discussion, however, I will use what I think is the most commonly used name today, demons.
Many believe demons are fallen angels. I will share where the Holy Spirit has taken me and the understanding I now have.
I do not like to concentrate on demons. But, I believe the ministry assignment Jesus has been preparing me for will most certainly involve the casting out of demons. I earnestly sought guidance from The Lord concerning their origin and the following is what I have come to understand.
Angels Called Sons of God in Old Testament.
Important to this whole discussion is taking in the knowledge and understanding that in the Old Testament angels were called sons of God and I have heard other teachers refer to this truth also So, lets look at Old Testament references.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Job 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
Job 38 verse 4, Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth.
Verse 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Genesis 6:1-2 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
The pure uncompromised literal reading of these verses tells us the sons of God are angels and some of these angels took daughters of men as wives and this was against God's rules and commands for angels.
(Important NOTE) Newer bible translations have changed the Hebrew translation of "sons of God" to read angels in the book of Job. In my opinion this change has added to confusion regarding text that hasn't been changed in the book of Genesis and still reads sons of God.
About two years ago I asked Jesus, "Are you willing to show me where demons came from?" Two days later, I knew the answer.
It came to me this way: if the sons of God who took the daughters of men as wives had children? I knew right then and there the answer. Then when I reread [Genesis 6], it was as if God had laid out the answer clearly before me.
And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. (This means that 120 years would pass and then God would destroy His creation.)
There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
The answer to the question where did demons come from:
They came from the children (and their descendants) of the unholy unions between sons of God (angels) and daughters of men.
Many of these offspring died during the worldwide flood in Noah's day, but since the practice rekindled for a while after the flood, some died after the flood.
When these children, born in these unholy abominable unions, died their evil disembodied spirits or soul (personality) had no place to go for God made no provision for these evil unclean spirits.
Our spirit with a soul will receive new incorruptible bodies at the resurrection, but these evil unclean spirits have no provision made for them.
They have no body to be housed in. These unclean spirits are earthbound and in a constant search for a body either human or animal that they can house themselves in.
I am completely convinced by The Holy Spirit that this is the origin of demons (unclean spirits) and it absolutely makes the most sense.
What Happened to these Sons of God (Angels)?
I would like to point out that The Lord has revealed to me by The Holy Spirit that these sons of God were not the fallen angels that fell with Satan.
It was revealed to me that for a period of time God literally sent angels to minister to and work with mankind and what actually happened to these sons of God (angels) that entered into these unholy abominable unions with the daughters of men is recorded in Jude.
[Jude 6] And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
These angels being kept in chains are the angels we, believers in Jesus Christ, will be called upon to judge as stated in [1 Corinthians 6:3] "Know ye not that we shall judge angels?"
Why Revealed To Me - God Only Knows.
Perhaps, the following are some plausible reasons:
1-Because Jesus was willing to show me
2-Because we are in the End Times
3-Because of a pure heart motive
4-Because of God's spoken assignment that includes "expose the work of Satan" and previous revelations.
5-Because of the simple belief in the literal truth of God's account of creation and the account of the worldwide flood.
6-Because of the belief that the Word of God is the authority and is the inerrant literal truth from the very 1st verse of Genesis through the last verse of Revelation.
