Satan's Angels

SATAN’S ANGELS of the Christian Bible

All Satan’s angels are made subject to Christ, (1st Peter 3:22). They are sinful and rebellious (Job 4:4:18; 2nd Peter 2:4; Jude 6-7; Revelation 12:7-9);evil (Psalms 78:49); to be punished (Matt. 24:41; Isaiah 24:21-23; 25:7; Jude 6-7); to be cast out of Heaven (Rev. 7-9); will fight against Christ at Armageddon (Rev. 12:7-9; 19:11-21; 20:1-3; Isaiah 24:21-23; 25:7); are organized into principalities and powers (Ephesians 1:21; 3:10; 6:10-17; Colossians 2:10). They deceive men (2nd Cor. 11:14); oppose saints (Romans 8:38); Ephesians 6:10-18). They fell originally with Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12-14; Ezekiel 28:11-17; Matt. 24:41; Rev. 12:7-12) and hell is prepared for them! (Matt. 24:41).There are those who are presently bound (Rev. 9-11,14; 11:7; 17:8; 2nd Peter 2:4; Jude 6-7). They are in another compartment of the underworld called “Tartarus”, locked up there for committing lustful procreation with the daughters of men, having left their own habitation (Genesis 6:1-8). The Book of Enoch talks about this scene” “And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful daughters and the angels, the children of Heaven, saw and lusted after them, and said, ‘Come, let us choose wives from among the children of men and beget us children. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives and began to go in unto them and defile themselves with them. And they became pregnant, and they bore giants turned against them and devoured mankind.” (The Book of Enoch, R.H. Charles Translation; P.34-35; SPCK) The result of this procreation was a race of Giants, or mighty men! They will remain there until the “Great White Throne” judgment, at which time, they will be thrown into “Gehenna”, which is the “lake of fire”, or the final hell where they will be tormented with Satan and all his demons, along with all the reprobates, (Rev. 19:20; 20:10,14,15; Matt.25:41). There are also those fallen angels who are still loose with Satan and will be cast down to the earth in the middle of Daniel’s 70th week in the future “Great Tribulation”, (Rev. 12:7-12; Ephesians 6:10-17).
