![]() The other demons, and also the most famous ones, were born after the Rebellion in Paradise broke out and Michael and his army drove Lucifer's troops out of Heaven and launched them onto Planet Earth. ![]() However, some demons like Satan were probably created before the universe itself. They were created by the pre-existential entity, Ayin, after she created the Abrahamic Hell and was imprisoned by God Himself, who locked her in the deepest part of her newly created location. The first demons came sometime after the creation of the Universe. Nevertheless, they were generally described as ugly, chimerical and monstrous beings, however, sex demons such as incubi and succubi are described as being beautiful in order to accomplish their mission of seduction.Įnd of copied text, this end is probably temporary however, if this isn't the end of the article. With how many demons are in Hell, it most likely that either breed or are born in Hell's environment.ĭemons can take any desired appearance, even that of an "angel of light". Other scholars supported the idea that they could not procreate and that the number of demons was constant. Gregory of Nyssa, in the 4th century, believed in the existence of male and female demons and supported the idea that demons procreated with other demons and with human women. It is a rather a complicated system of hierarchies in Hell, but according to some calculations, the estimated the number of demons is 44,439,622, divided into 666 legions, each legion composed by 6,666 demons, and all of them ruled by 66 hellish dukes, princes, kings, etc. Every legion of demons contains 666 demons, all ready to strike out whenever needed. In Hell, demons are organized under their masters in legions. No account has been made about omnipresence, so it is as yet unclear if they can be in different places at the same time, but according to the tradition of the medieval witches' Sabbath, two conclusions can be reached: either the Devil can be in different places at the same time, or he sends an emissary in his name. Their power is limited to that which God allows, so they are not omnipotent. Demons are not omniscient, but each one has a specific knowledge. Unlike monsters however, most demons are seen as a spiritual threat rather than a physical one and can possess humans, cause poltergeist activity, drive people insane and much more.ĭemons are said to be malevolent angels, and have the same characteristics as their angelic counterparts: spiritual, immutable and immortal. Demons are similar to monsters in being frightening and against the natural order. However, there are also demons who reject their infernal heritage and instead choose to go to the human world to live in peace and sometimes even seeks to protect mankind from their own kind.ĭemons can also be seen as metaphors for natural disasters, affliction and cruelty, the most prominent of which are the " deadly sins" of Christian tradition: demons are also used to describe inner-fears and anxieties found in the minds of all people, which is where the common expression "face one's demons" comes from. It is seen that certain demons have disguised themselves as humans and gained an incredible amount of influence in the criminal underworld, the wealthy upper-class, and even close family members and business associates of powerful individuals. But the demons with strong will are capable of either shattering the control one has over them, or twist their wishes to bring him to the conjurers themselves. Despite this, demons can be summoned and even controlled. The reason why demons seems 'evil' to humans is that demons believe themselves as above humans making them no different to angels and gods with the same mindset.īecause of their inherent beyond-human physical and mystical abilities, most known demons view themselves as superior to humans, and as such wish to rule over them. Even though it may seem like it, demons are beyond the human conception of good and evil, instead they are creatures of chaos where the strongest rule. Demons are also widely known to be enemies of God, Jesus Christ and any one that is faithful to God. Traditionally, demons were considered either fallen angels, unclean spirits or degenerated lesser gods though the word now has evolved to refer to any malevolent spiritual entity. This needs to be fixed as soon as possible. The following text on this page was copied from other sources.
