Diabolus enim et alii daemones

DEMONS

Greek daimon and daimonion, Latin daemonium.

In Scripture and in Catholic theology this word has come to mean much the same as devil and denotes one of the evil spirits or fallen angels. And in fact in some places in the New Testament where the Vulgate, in agreement with the Greek, has daemonium, our vernacular versions read devil. The precise distinction between the two terms in ecclesiastical usage may be seen in the phrase used in the decree of the Fourth Lateran Council: “Diabolus enim et alii daemones” (The devil and the other demons), i.e. all are demons, and the chief of the demons is called the devil. This distinction is observed in the Vulgate New Testament, where diabolus represents the Greek diabolos and in almost every instance refers to Satan himself, while his subordinate angels are described, in accordance with the Greek, as daemones or daemonia. This must not be taken, however, to indicate a difference of nature; for Satan is clearly included among the daemones in James 2:19 and in Luke 11:15-18.

But though the word demon is now practically restricted to this sinister sense, it was otherwise with the earlier usage of the Greek writers. The word, which is apparently derived from daio “to divide” or “apportion”, originally meant a divine being; it was occasionally applied to the higher gods and goddesses, but was more generally used to denote spiritual beings of a lower order coming between gods and men. For the most part these were beneficent beings, and their office was somewhat analogous to that of the angels in Christian theology. Thus the adjective eydaimon “happy”, properly meant one who was guided and guarded by a good demon. Some of these Greek demons, however, were evil and malignant. Hence we have the counterpart to eudamonia “happiness”, in kakodaimonia which denoted misfortune, or in its more original meaning, being under the possession of an evil demon. In the Greek of the New Testament and in the language of the early Fathers, the word was already restricted to the sinister sense, which was natural enough, now that even the higher gods of the Greeks had come to be regarded as devils.

We have a curious instance of the confusion caused by the ambiguity and variations in the meaning of the word, in the case of the celebrated “Daemon” of Socrates. This has been understood in a bad sense by some Christian writers who have made it a matter of reproach that the great Greek philosopher was accompanied and prompted by a demon. But, as Cardinal Manning clearly shows in his paper on the subject, the word here has a very different meaning. He points to the fact that both Plato and Xenophon use the form daimonion, which Cicero rightly renders as divinum aliguid, “something divine”. And after a close examination of the account of the matter given by Socrates himself in the reports transmitted by his disciples, he concludes that the promptings of the “Daemon” were the dictates of conscience, which is the voice of God.

Sons of Perdition; Lords of Fire

The origins of the belief of demons among the ancient societies of the world have been shrouded in mystery and it is uncertain just exactly where the concept started, though a good start would be with the Persian and Assyrian empires… some of the most ancient civilizations that we are aware of today.

Nearly every culture that has been recorded in the history of mankind has had some form or variation of demonic belief. Today the most widely recognized aspects of demonology are derived from Judaic, Christian and Catholic sources. Many archaic stereotypes presented within these religions, as well as the prolific historical inaccuracies long associated with fictional print and media, persist in spite of evidence to the contrary.

Most people today imagine short horns, leathery bat-like wings, long pointy tails and menacing pitchforks to be the common accepted image of demons in general, and Satan in specific. However, this is a far cry from how demons were presented in the past.

Initially, in many of the most ancient cultures of the past, demons were seen as having the capacity for both good and evil. The origin of the word demon, in fact, may have come from Indo-European sources and simply meant ‘Celestial Body’.

There has often been confusion when regarding Devils and Demons in many Orthodox traditions. A Devil is an entity who usually fights a goodly and divine authority for control of existence. Many such battles will be settled in an ‘End of Time’ scenario where the forces of good vanquish the forces of evil.

Demons are much like Angels in that they are lesser beings who are usually under the authority of the prevailing Devil. They are always malevolent in nature, and seek to torment humans with their dark and wicked ways. The means by which they wreak havoc are threefold:

#1: In spiritual form they whisper evil thoughts into a person’s mind, trying to corrupt them to do wrong.

#2: In spiritual form they restlessly wander the earth and torment others with their mere appearance.

#3: They actually possess someone and control their actions, usually causing them to harm others, or at the very least, themselves. This is called ‘Possession’, and even today it wreaks fear in many just by even mentioning it.

Another thing that is usually representative of demons in nearly every culture; they are usually grotesque in appearance, and more than likely half animal at least.

Perhaps one of the greater influences in restoring interest in demons and their study in the mid-20th century was Anton LaVey, the author of the Satanic Bible and the founder of the Church of Satan. LaVey believed that Christianity was a repressed religion, and the true power of Satanic belief was the lack of limits imposed on the believer. LaVey believed that man ought to have the supreme choice over his life, not a God, or any god.

It may be observed that a similar change and deterioration of meaning has taken place in the Iranian languages in the case of the word daeva. Etymologically this is identical with the Sanskrit deva, by which it is rendered in Neriosengh’s version of the Avesta. But whereas the devas of Indian theology are good and beneficent gods, the daevas of the Avesta are hateful spirits of evil. (See also DEMONOLOGY.)

Demons Are the Disembodied Spirits of the Nephilim (Giants) and the Gerbers (Mighty Men) prior to the flood.

They are not Devils.

Devils are fallen angels.

The angels who did not keep their proper domain are the Fallen Watchers and they are chained in Tartarus. Jude 6-7.

Demons are the disembodied spirits of the Giants (Nephilim) and the Gerbers (Mighty Men) prior to the flood. They are cursed to wander looking for dry places and contend with man. They are disembodied spirits and therefore are looking for and are incomplete without a body. They are cursed and not to be part of the resurrection.

“They are dead, they will not live;

They are deceased, they will not rise,

Therefore You have punished and destroyed them,

And made their memory to perish.”

Isaiah 26:14

The ‘Mighty Men of Renown’ are the Gibborim created by the Watchers when they left their heavenly abode and came down to the daughters of men as recorded in Genesis Chapter 6:4 of the Old Testament. They are half breeds, angelic hybrids, the Titans. The word in Greek titanos means grays.

When fallen angels shape-shift into a from of human being they may have intercourse but not without some aberrant genetic changes. The union of these beasts with humans produced children that were different in many ways. The first apparent difference was that they developed giantism. They were male giants or Nephilim. Og the King of Bashan had a bed that was 13 to 15 feet long; and Goliath was 6 cubits tall (9 feet). The second aberration was that they had six fingers and six toes. If a being is reported to be six cubits tall, have six toes, and six fingers, is that the mark of the beast (666)? Note: Marilyn Monroe had six toes. It is not untold for children to be born with six toes or six fingers. Doctors simply remove the extra fingers and toes. This is modern evidence of the intervention of the Fallen Watchers in their attempt to destroy the Seed of Adam through Eve. This is enmity between his seed and her (EVE) seed (Gen.3:15).

In addition to giantism, the Nephilim had powerful psychic abilities like out of body experiences, levitation, mind control, time travel, mind reading, remote viewing, the power of placing curses and diseases, the power of removing curses and diseases, and ways of knowing and predicting the future. They were cannibals and vampires! They were astrologers, homosexuals, lesbians, serial killers, and the mighty men of renown. They sacrificed human beings all over the planet in temples and pyramids. They drank our blood and slaughtered our babies. Human sacrifice was the order of the day. They had super powerful brains and they were extremely intelligent. They knew all the sciences, architecture, and engineering. In short, they had demonic powers. They used these powers to control and enslave mankind and this is how they built the great pyramids and great wonders around the pre-flood world.

The aberrant genetic tendencies of the Nephilim were unfortunately cloned into the D.N.A. of mankind and distributed around the earth in Genesis 10. According to the Bible, only Noah escaped this genetic intervention at the time prior to the flood. There are no records of these perverse tendencies prior to the intervention of the Watchers. There is no mention of demons prior to the days of Noah. These dormant genetic tendencies still surface today at times in different people as predicted in Genesis 6:4, “There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward.” These genetic mutations are the living evidence of the interaction of fallen angelic beings.

Even the ideology of reincarnation may be understood when a person understands the curse of the Nephilim. These familiar spirits move from one body to another, from one generation to the next generation, reporting intimate details of a past life. A previous life which may be revealed by divination or regressive hypno-therapy. This is also know as a generational curse. The original soul that inhabited that body is demonically supplanted with the wandering spirit of a Nephilim. Hebrews 9:27 says “And it is appointed for men to die once and then the judgment.” After the death of the individual their spirits passes from this life to the next and the familiar spirit or demonic spirit wanders on to another weak unsuspecting sinner proclaiming their prior occupancy.

The Watchers are a guardian class of angels that were assigned to watch over the earth and protect mankind from just this sort of thing happening. According to the Bible, the Book of Enoch, Jubilees, Jasher, and Testimony of the Twelve Patriarchs, they rebelled against God and attempted to enslave the whole world and provoke God. According to the Book of Jasher they not only tweaked with the D.N.A. of mankind but also with the animals. They may have produced such beasts as the Pegasus, Minotaur, the unicorn, and the dinosaurs.

There are some scholars that speculate that one day this will happen again to produce the antichrist. Fallen angels will make love to women and back breed until they have genetically produced a creature that is fully fallen angel and fully man. A bastard angelic incarnation. This may be an explanation for the reported cases of ‘alien’ abduction. If alien abductions are really happening then we know the source and the purpose. The source is fallen angels and the purpose is to breed the antichrist–Satan incarnate.

Jesus said, “But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24: 37. How were the days of Noah? They were violent and according to 2 Peter 2 these are the days that the angels fell and were judged. According to Jude 6 these are the days that the angels fell and some were chained in Tartarus.

“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them form fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heaven will be shaken.” Luke 21: 25-26.
