Satan and Demons


















Angels and Demons. All demons are angels; but not all angels are demons.


Humans' conceptual image of Satan is literally a fake. No, he isn't physically frightening. In fact, Satan is an extremely charming angel that he became so conceited to the point that he thought very high of himself.

That was when he became ugly - inside! (on the second thought, the use of "he" is actually a big question - as angels do not have sexes)

Say goodbye to nightmares that feature demons with horns and tails (and that stupid fork!). They are only fruits of the imagination which were probably used to illustrate how dreadful these fallen angels had turned out to be. If you examine the Scriptures, there isn't any information that match these characteristics. Demons continue to exist with similar appearances as righteous angels (Wait, are they not angels too?). Exactly, demons are angels who chose to follow Satan's path in rebellion against Jehovah. They were totally swept away from heaven and thus inhabited earth together with human beings. They still have supernatural powers. And who knows if they probably have categories too? - just like the archangel, seraphs, and the cherubs.

Lesson learned: do not judge a creature based on outward appearances.
