Where Do Bad Angels Come From?

 Creations of God –

• riginally good angels

 The devil or “Satan”

was once the archangel Lucifer (meaning “Light Bearer”)

 He was so beautiful and

powerful that he thought he could rival God

To Hell with the Devil

 He rebelled against God in the “war

in heaven” (Rev 12:7)

 A third of the angels sided with him

and became the demons (Rev 12:4)

 They were defeated and cast out of

heaven (Rev 12:8-9)

 Satan is currently “chained” and

eventually will be thrown into hell

• n the last day (Rev 20:1-3, 10)

 But in the meantime. . .

Satan Is Alive and Well

 The devil and demons are real (Matt 8:28, etc., etc.)  Some exorcisms are legitimate yet today (Mark 16:17)  The devil is cleaver and more likely to tempt us with

an attractive image than a repulsive one (Gen 3)

 The Bible says that the devil disguises himself as an

angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14)

 Some claim they don’t believe in the

devil and yet fall right into his hands (e.g., WICCA, “white magic,” etc.)

more powerful than the devil (I John 4:4)
