We're going to *begin a series* on the subject of *Satan & demons*.
Some times people say *why teach on the Devil*?
Aren't we glorifying the Devil by teach on him?
I don't want to give the Devil any glory, but I fell that *if we don't teach on him* & his actives, *we will be ignorant of what he is doing* & we *won't* be able to *stop him*.
*I.*
*/2 COR 2:11/*
*A.*
Paul is saying that *we are not ignorant of Satan's devices*.
*1.*
The *only way* for us *not to be ignorant* is to be *taught*.
*B.*
Paul also *says something else of importance* in this V.
*1.*
He's letting us know that *if we are ignorant of Satan's devices, he could get an advantage over us*.
*2.*
Paul uses the word “*Devices*” here in referring to Satan's devices.
*a.*
If you go to the *Greek* and look up the word “*Devices*” it means “*a mental perception, thought; an evil purpose; that which thinks, the mind, thoughts or purposes*.”
*i.*
In other words his “*Plans*.”
*b.*
I like how the *NIV* put it, (*/11/*) “*/For we are not unaware of his schemes/*.”
*C.*
*It's important* that we do *learn about Satan*.
*We don't want to be overcome* by him.
*II.*
Right now *I want to look at the questions*, */Who are demons & where did they come from/*?
*A.*
*Some* have *thought* that they are */fallen angels/*.
*1.*
There are a *few reasons* why *I disagree* with that.
*a.*
*/1st/* of all we know that *demons desire a body to live in*.
*i.*
Both (*/MATT 12:43/*) & (*/LUKE/**/ 11:24/*) say, “*/When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man/*...”
*ii.*
*Demons desire a body to live in*.
*c.*
*Angels never had* a *physical body*.
*Why* would they *desire one*?
*b.*
*Fallen angels* are *very powerful* beings.
*Why* would they want to *limit* themselves *to a physical body*?
*2.*
The */2nd/* *reason* why I feel that *fallen angels are not demons* are *because of* */2PET 2:4/**.*
*(Turn there)*
*a.*
*Where did God send them*?
*It says* He sent them to *hell*.
*i.*
*Every translation* that I looked up it either *says* “God sent them to *hell or Tartarus*,” which is the *same thing as hell*.
*ii.*
It *literally means* that the *fallen angels* were *thrust down to Tartarus*, t*o hold captive in Tartarus*.
*b.*
But that *can't mean all* of them because we know that *Satan is not in hell yet*.
*i.*
More than likely *most are in hell* now, but *not all*.
*ii.*
Look at */Ephesians 6:12/*
*iii.*
I believe that “*/Spiritual wickedness in high places/*” is *referring to fallen angels*.
*III.*
*Some have said* that demons *are the spirits of those that have died without the Lord*.
*A.*
There is *no support* of that *in the Word* of God.
*1.*
The *Bible does say* for those that are *Christians* (*/2 Corinthians 5:8/*) “*/Absent from the body, present with the Lord/*.”
*2.*
In (*/LUKE 16/*) We see a *rich man* that *died*.
right *after* his *death* it says that *he lifted up his eyes in hell*.
*a.*
We also see *the man that died on the cross* next to Jesus
*i.*
Jesus said, “*/Today you shall be with me in paradise/*.”
(*/LUKE/**/ 23:43/*)
*IV.*
But there is a */3rd/* *theory* and that is “*/A preadamic race/*.”
(A race of beings that existed long before Adam.)
*A.*
*I fell* that this is the *only one that can not be disputed*, but even still there is *not a lot of information* in the Word about it.
*Just a few glimpses*.
*1.*
*Before we begin*, let's look at */1COR 15:45/*
*a.*
This tells us that the */1st man was Adam/*.
*b.* *If there were being on this Earth that existed before Adam* they were *not men & women*.
They were something else.
*Adam** was the 1st man*.
*B.*
Let's *start at the beginning* to find out *how this theory came about*.
*1.*
*/GEN 1:1-2/*
*a.*
In (*/V 2/*) the word “*/was/*” could be *translated* “*/became/*.”
(Read with became)
*2.*
In this same passage (*/GEN 1:2a/*).
The words “*/Without form & void/*” are the *Hebrew words* “*/Tohu & Bohu/*.”
*a.*
The word “*/Tohu/*” *translated* “*/Without form/*” *means* “*/formlessness, confusion, emptiness, formlessness, nothingness, empty space, wasteland, wilderness, vain/*.”
*b.*
& The word “*/Bohu/*” *translated* “*/Void/*” *means* “*/emptiness, void, waste, & ruin/*.”
*i.*
*God does not make anything in confusion*, *worthless*, a *waste*, a *wilderness*, or *empty*.
*a.*
I believe that when *God created* this *Earth*, He created it *to be inhabited*.
*ii.*
*Something* most have *happened between* (*/GEN 1:1 & GEN 1:2/*)
*iii.*
It must have been a */great deal of time/* that took place between these to Vs.
