Fallen Angels And Demons

Q

When God threw Lucifer and the fallen angels to earth, It seemed logical to think these fallen angels were the demons doing Satan’s bidding in the lives of mankind. I am being told that demons and fallen angels are not the same. I find nothing in my Bible that defines them as different or having different distinct attributes. Are they two different things?

 

A

First, Satan’s expulsion from heaven along with his angels takes place in Rev. 12:7-9 which won’t happen until the beginning of the Great Tribulation.

Second, while most scholars believe there’s a difference between demons and fallen angels, defining that difference is not a matter of general agreement.

Since demons seek physical embodiment, some people believe they used to be physical beings and are perhaps the wandering spirits of the Nephilim.
