## Resource

Virtually all the theology books out there tell us: demons are fallen angels. This is the prevailing theory offered by most scholars, pastors and theologians today. In GotQuestions.org 's article titled “What Does the Bible Say about Demons?” The first four words are these: “Demons are fallen angels…” And I love that website, but this is an area where I would disagree with them. But I bring that article up because that represents the conventional wisdom in modern times in the Western world. And it’s also what I believed most of my life. That when Satan rebelled against God, he took a third of the angels with him, and that these angels are the demons who make up his kingdom today- the same demons that Jesus was constantly casting out of people when He walked the earth 2,000 years ago. The only problem is: the bible never says that. And that’s not what the ancient peoples believed. Don’t get me wrong: there is a Satan. There were indeed fallen angels. However, the ancient people- including the writers of the Bible- believed demons came from somewhere else. In fact, by the end of today’s episode, you’ll see that Jesus Himself used an expression that tells us exactly where the demons came from- and we can prove from His own words that they are NOT fallen angels. So why do people in modern times see things differently? I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why this contemporary theory is NOT in the Bible. Turn to Genesis 6, and let’s get weird.
