The Origin of Demons: The Nephilim Mystery Revealed
Exploring the biblical truth behind the fall of the Watchers and the spirits that walk the earth today.
"We live in a world that feels solid, yet the Bible warns us of a reality far more complex—and far more dangerous—than what we can see. Most Bible students stop at the fall of Lucifer, but the scriptures point to a much darker and more specific origin for demons or entities responsible for hauntings and possessions today.
This is not just a story of fallen angels; it is the story of a forbidden union, a race of giants, and the 'terrestrial' spirits they left behind."
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." — Ephesians 6:12
The Two Classes Of Evil Spirits That Help Define The Origin Of Demons
"According to the Bible, evil began with the fall of Lucifer. We know there is a hierarchy of spirits, with Satan as the chief. However, there are two distinct classes of these beings:
- Fallen Angels: Powerful beings who occupy the atmosphere and stratosphere.
- Earthbound Demons: Spirits restricted to the earth, responsible for the hauntings and possessions we hear about in the modern world.
To find the identity of these earthbound spirits, we must look to a 'lost' book quoted by the Apostle Jude: The Book Of Enoch
The "Sons of God"
In Genesis 6, we read that the "Sons of God" (identified in Job 1:6 as angels) saw that the daughters of men were beautiful. They did not just observe; they took wives and "left their first estate." This was the beginning of a forbidden intersection between the celestial and the terrestrial.
The Book of Enoch
Enoch Chapter 7 reveals that 200 angels made a pact on Mount Hermon to commit a "grievous crime." They abandoned their celestial bodies to take on physical ones, "going after strange flesh"—a lure that would eventually lead to the corruption of the ancient world.
The Result: The Nephilim and Their Spirits
Why are demons earthbound? The Book of Enoch (Chapter 15) offers the answer: Because the Nephilim were born of both spirit and flesh, when their physical bodies died in the Flood, their spirits remained.
"Now the giants... shall be called upon earth evil spirits, and on earth shall be their habitation... because they were created from above."
"These hybrid spirits—the Nephilim—are the ones who seek to inhabit bodies today. They once had a physical form, and they desperately desire to have one again.
But there is hope. While these spirits are real, they are already defeated. Jesus died on the cross to take away our sin and provide authority over the powers of darkness. Through Him, the 'unseen world' holds no terror for the believer."
