The reason for the large and over explained page for demonology has many reasons.
A few of the large ones are that society has become more interested in the “darker” part of its existence so many
more things are wrote and shared more in demonic subjects. Next is the fact that demons are here on the earth, this is their
domain after the exile from Heaven. They are more prevalent to mankind and have more interest in destroying what God has made
so for this reason they have more influence and direct contact with the creatures under Heaven than angelic beings do. Demons
also show themselves more often to scare and create havoc here on earth and the angelic interference is more subtle when combating
this act. So in the short answer we see demons more often than angels and demons have a larger stake in the downfall of man
thus attempt this in greater degrees than angelic beings will. Demons torment the living and do this by possession, causing
disgraces, causing diseases, showing themselves to scare, or invoking visions to persuade people into sin or to scare. With
this said the following page is the work of CAPT Founder Chris in regards to demonology.
Demonic
history is more prevalent in the world because after the exile from Heaven, they came to earth to lead man away from God and
to establish themselves as God's on earth. During the B.C. Eras this was done fairly well. Ancient Egyptians had many
“God's” for many things all with the head of an animal of one type or another. They studied magic and occult
subjects with vigor and based a whole society on those select few who did the researching and telling of the findings. This
practice is still continued to today so below is the findings I have come up with that seem to be true though out the time
periods.

These
angels who had “fallen” were 200 in number according to the book and descended to Jared on Mt. Hermon. The main

Book
of Enoch 8-11 “8) And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called evil spirits upon
the earth, and the earth shall be their dwelling. 9) Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born
from men [and] from the holy watchers is their beginning and primal origin [they shall be evil spirits on earth and evil spirits
shall they be called]. 10) As for the spirit of Heaven in Heaven shall be their dwelling, as for the spirits of earth which
were born upon the earth, and earth shall be their dwelling. 11) And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy,
attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth and cause trouble; they take no food [but nevertheless hunger] and thirst
and cause offenses, and these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women because they have proceeded
from them.
The giants height was 3,000 ells. One ell = 1 cubit. One cubit =
18 inches so 3,000 ells = 4,500 feet or .85 miles tall.
While most
people have heard the term fallen angel, few know where
it comes from, because it cannot be found in the Bible directly. The origin of the term lies in the Hebrew word for giants in this verse: |
|
Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that,
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bear children to them, the same became mighty men which were
of old, men of renown.
| |
The Hebrew word translated as
giants here is nephilim, a plural, which itself derives from the
root word Naphal, which means to fall. The apocryphal Book
of Enoch explains that a group of rebellious angels "left their first estate" (heaven, or the sky) and came down
(fell) to Earth to marry human women and have children with them. Jude makes mention of these angels in the New Testament:
|
|
And the angels which
kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the
judgment of the great day.
|
|
In some Christian traditions, a fallen
angel is an angel that has been exiled or banished
from Heaven. |
