Where Do Demons Come From?

Revelations 12:9, “So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.”

The Holy Bible does not specifically state where demons originated from. However, the scriptures do record two possible instances for their origin. The first comes in Revelations 12:9. The fallen angels hypothesis suggest, those Angels that rebelled with Satan become demons or seducing spirits like Lucifer himself. Brought down to deceive the world before Adam (the Pre-Adamite Race). This is very possible due to the fact the Serpent in the Garden of Eden was coerced by Satan into tempting Adam and Eve into sin, before the world was re-created by YAH in Gen 1:3.

The next possible explanation is the Nephilim theory. Those who were the offspring of man and angelic procreation in Genesis 6:4, “There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.” Though the majority of these beings were destroyed during Noah’s flood. The disembodied spirits, which are not of man or angel were never sent to Sheol. As they are not part of YAH’s original creation and not redeemable. Therefore they roam about, until the final judgement.

Upon studying the scriptures I believe that demons originated from both sources, Fallen Angels and the Nephilim. Both are demonic forces working with Satan to bring about the destruction of mankind. Though their origins may seem a little convoluted, it is important to know that they are here, affecting our world. Know that in Christ you have the power over them!

James 4:7-8, “Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded,” Shalom…

There’s Power In Saying YAH’s Name, Not His Title…

With being in a personal relationship with YAH, we as Believers should always utilize the true name of God. Over time and with different translations of the Bible the holy name of YAH, was edited to reflect the language and culture therein. With this, God’s true name YAH (Psalm 68:4) has somewhat been lost to us. The scripture however request that we call upon his name when in prayer or in our time of need.

Exodus 3:15 reads, “Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.” Lord is the English substitute for YAH. Even though it is meant in a high regard, this title is not the same as YAH.

Referring to YAH by His title, is the same as calling a male friend man or a female as simply woman. It’s not personal and carries the same meaning for every other human being. Imagine when your boss or others in high regard may have said “No, call me by my first name.” The relationship between the two means so much. The same is for YAH, who has called us into a personal relationship (Acts 17:27).

The Holy Bible states in Psalm 145:18, “The Lord (YAH) is near to all who call upon Him,To all who call upon Him in truth.” The name YAH in our belief in Jesus Christ invokes the Holy Spirit to minister on our behalf. Guiding us into truth, edification, and strengthening our Faith. We have a Father that has given us a specific name to call him by, and when spoken to He will listen.

Not only is YAH the true name of the Most High, but also specifies that the God we pray to is that of the Hebrew Israelites. I ask we all share in the joy that YAH has given us such power and joy, of calling on His personal name in time of need and also in joy! Shalom…
