Angels and Demons

Angels are messengers of God.  However, angels are not all powerful.  Jesus says in Matthew 24:36 that not even the angels in Heaven know what hour Jesus will return.  The angels too will be judged according to their deeds.  Angels are not gods and shall not be worshipped, for one of the Ten Commandments as written in both Exodus and Deuteronomy that there shall be no other gods before the Lord, for He is a Jealous God.

Demons, on the other hand, are fallen angels.  Some probably did not know that Satan was once an angel named Lucifer.  Here Isaiah describes Lucifer’s fall in chapter 14:12-17:
“How you are fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!  How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!  For you have said in your heart I will ascend into Heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;  I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest side of the north;  I will also ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.  Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depth of the Pit.  “Those who see you will gaze at you, and consider you saying: ‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities, who did not open the house of his prisoners?’”

Sadly, most people will not realize that before it is too late.  He too, will be cast into the Lake of Fire.  He is not as powerful as the Lord and never will be, no matter how deceitful he is.  In short, demons are followers of Satan who have no power over God, His Angels (read the book of Revelation) or believers.
