We must understand God neither invented nor inspired evil it grew apart from Him.īehold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
Scripture does not elaborate much upon their origins, but something curious happened between the glorious goodness of Genesis chapter 1 and the appearance of a cunning serpent who would forever change the course of human history in Genesis chapter 3. They slinked onto the scene sometime after the world was created. When we study Scripture’s record of Creation, Genesis 1:31 reveals God’s opinion of His handiwork: “Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.” If angels are part of God’s “very good” Creation, then what are demons, and where did they come from? Who do they work for? How do they interact with humans? What does this have to do with me? What Are Demons?Ĭonsidering that the totality of Creation was “very good” and God’s nature is the very essence of goodness, we can logically conclude God did not create demons. We know that they were created early in the Creation week, likely on day two. They are real spirit beings with constraining limitations. In part one of this series, we learned that angels are God’s messengers who minister to God’s people.
