Are Demons Fallen Angels? - Demonology 101 - TOG EP 90

Are demons fallen angels? It's what we've been taught. But is it true, or has the Western Church embraced Christian mythology? I tackle this challenging topic in episode 90 of Tales of Glory! Have you ever wondered why deliverance ministries define demons in Ephesians 6:12 of spirits in heavenly places? And yet we also teach that demons are earthbound? There are other problems regarding demons in the New Testament. Why did demons and demonic possessions suddenly appear in the New Testament? To unravel this mystery, let's dive into some scripture, dissertations, and Ancient Near East documents.

Show Notes

Colossians 1:15-17 - I accidentally said Galatians in the podcast. It was Colossians!

The Preeminence of Christ

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Ephesians 6:12-13

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

Mark 1:21-28

Jesus Heals a Man with an Unclean Spirit

21 And they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he entered the synagogue and was teaching.
22 And they were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24 “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.”
25 But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!”
26 And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.”
28 And at once his fame spread everywhere throughout all the surrounding region of Galilee.

Matthew 12:43-44

Return of an Unclean Spirit

43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none.
44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order.

2 Peter 2:4 - angels in chains in the abyss - Watchers!

4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment;

Jude 6 - angels in chains in the abyss - Watchers!

6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day—
