Many Bible verses speak of demons, and most people are puzzled by the presence of demons in our world. Some assume that demons have existed since the creation of the world. Others, including Catholic exorcists, claim that fallen angels were transformed into demons after their fall. Several non-canonical books indicate that the nature of these angels was changed and they became satans or devils, i.e. those who hate all humans and Almighty God's creation, who love to oppose the Godhead, and who take it upon themselves to spread lies and destroy mankind. Their leader is Lucifer the Archdevil.

• And the Rebel meditating these things would not render obedience to God, and of his own free will he asserted his independence and separated himself from God. But he was swept away out of heaven and fell, and the fall of himself and of all his company from heaven took place on the  Sixth Day, at the second hour of the day. And the apparel of their glorious state was stripped off them. And his name was called "Sâtânâ" because he turned aside [from the right way], and "Shêdâ" because he was cast out, and "Daiwâ" because he lost the apparel of his glory. And behold, from that time until the present day, he and all his hosts have been stripped of their apparel, and they go naked and have horrible faces. |The Book of the The Cave of Treasures -  The Revolt of Satan and the Battle in Heaven|

• And a Cherub smote him, and broke his wings and his ribs, and having rendered him helpless he cast Satanael down from Heaven upon the earth. Then he became the Arch-Devil and the leader of those who were cast out of heaven with him, and who henceforth were devils. |From Budge, Coptic Martyrdoms, page 484].

To clear up misconceptions, it would be good to know that there has never been any indication that fallen angels, in any shape and form, prefer to live inside human bodies. They are beings directly created by ELOHIM, and despite their fall they have nevertheless retained the ability to transform and take on their own human form without our knowledge.

• Hebrews 13:2 "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it."

By virtue of this ability, those who have seen fallen angels (devils) often described them as creatures of extreme supernatural beauty.

​

Demons, on the other hand, are evil spirits, and are generally considered to be of a lower rank, subordinate to devils. And unlike devils, they don't transform.

Before discussing their origins, it would be useful to describe demons.

​

They are spirits without bodies (disembodied spirits) who can enter human bodies, animals, plants or objects and possess them as hosts. They are unclean, wicked, clinging and needy.

• Matthew 12:43-45 "When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ On its return, it finds the house vacant, swept clean, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there; and the final plight of that man is worse than the first. So will it be with this wicked generation.”

They torment. They are able to physically control and bully the person they have possessed.

• Matthew 15:22 "Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely."

• Luke 9:42 "Even while the boy was approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground in a convulsion."

They are capable of causing disease, disability and mental illness.

• Matthew 9:32-33 "As they were leaving, a demon-possessed man who was mute was brought to Jesus. And when the demon had been driven out, the man began to speak"

• Matthew 12:22 "Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed the man so that he could speak and see"

• Luke 13:11 "and a woman there had been disabled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was hunched over and could not stand up straight"

They can perform miracles.

• Revelations 16:14 "These are demonic spirits that perform signs and go out to all the kings of the earth, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God the Almighty."

They talk.

• Luke 4:34-35 "“Ha! What do You want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are— the Holy One of God!” But Jesus rebuked the demon. “Be silent!” He said. “Come out of him!” At this, the demon threw the man down before them all and came out without harming him."

• Luke 4:41 "Demons also came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” But He rebuked the demons and would not allow them to speak, because they knew He was the Christ."

• Luke 8:31 "And the demons kept begging Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss."

• Matthew 8:31 "So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

They have no ability to reproduce organically. As reported in many traditions around the world, demons have either male (incubus) or female (succubus) energies and can lure humans into non-consensual sexual relations, in order to collect spoiled human semen that enables them to multiply. 

Each demon has a single area of expertise. The demon of anger is only an expert in anger, the demon of laziness is only an expert in laziness, and so on and so forth. Meaning a single individual can be possessed by a multitude of demons specializing in their areas of expertise, keeping that person in a vicious cycle of ailments, disorders, vices and detractions.

They cannot possess people who have been marked or sealed by the Holy Spirit, but they will try to cause havoc in that person's immediate entourage.

​

They cannot stand to hear Psalms and praises to YAHWEH.
