Demons and Evil Spirits

Demons are supernatural beings from various religions, literature, and folklores. They are described as something not human and malevolent. Demon is considered an unclean spirit which may cause demonic possession and to get rid of the demon, they have to exorcise the demon. Demons are also known as a fallen angel.

Many people know Satan as a rival of God or opposite of God, but actually, Satan was once an angel. Satan means adversary, or enemy, so he is the enemy of God and all mankind, but his power is no match in front of God. He was known as Lucifer when he was an angel. It means light bearer or morning star. Lucifer was one of the most important angels. Even though he already had so much power in heaven, he wanted more power. He wanted to become God and have total power. Lucifer rebelled against God. In the end Michael who is an arc angel fought against him and he lost. He and his followers were sent down to hell.

The story of his fight in written in the Bible Revelation 12:7-9. Satan took all the angels who fought with him to hell and they are now called the demons. How Satan changed from a good angel to a bad angel is also described in Ezekiel 28: 11-9 and Isiah 14: 12-15. Nobody knows exactly when the fight took place. It probably took place between the creation of the Earth and the Tempting of Eve and Adam in the Garden of Eden. It was Satan in the form of a serpent, who tempted them and caused them to sin. Serpents are also described as an evil thing in the bible. Because of this Satan is sometimes called a serpent, or a dragon.

Satan and his followers the demons are trying to stop people from knowing God or stop people from believing God. He is known as many things like a dragon, someone who leads the world astray, the accuser, the lord of filth, and father of filth. Satan is so evil that he even tempted Jesus, the son of God.

The Demons are the follower of Satan and they enjoy giving pain, misery, and suffering to people. There are stories about Demons in the Bible too. There is this television series called Supernatural and it is all about evil spirits and demons. Even in the story, the demons posses the innocent people to do bad things. Even there the main characters get rid of the demons by exorcising them and the demons are sent back to hell unable to come back to earth for some time.

I think demons are really scary, but I’m always fascinated by the story of demons and evil spirits. Even though they are evil and bad, I find the story in the Bible about demons and in television stories interesting. Still, no matter what happens, I will always believe in God and serve him until I die.
