Where do Evil Spirits Come From?

People assume that the demons in the gospels are fallen angels, but all the traditions, including the biblical ones, associate the demons with the spirits of the giants born of the transgression of the Sons of God in Genesis 6. Check this out!

[@southernknight9983]

@@earlysda Yes. it is Biblical. The Nephilim are the giant offspring of the angels who had sex with human women. If you can read between the lines, you can figure out that Eve had sex with either Helel(Lucifer) or Samael and begat Cain and Able. Which is where human blood lines were infected with evil traits. This explains a whole lot on why things have been done the way that they have been. Only later did Eve give birth to Seth, which noted that Seth had the likeness of Adam. Apparently Cain and Able did not have such a likeness to Adam. This and the Book of Enoch explain leaps and bounds and gives us the why, where most of the Bible is like WTH is going on and makes no sense at all. This knowledge resolves most if not all of those questions. Godspeed!

Not a loss, people. Paul said “to live is Christ, to die is gain”. He’s glorified as we speak. And if we were able to ask Heiser, “would you like to comeback and continue your ministry?”. I have a feeling that Heiser would say something like, “guys and gals, don’t you know I’m glorified? How can you want me to comeback into a perishable body….while I’m enjoying all the promises of God?” “And by the way…..I’m no genius! As Paul said, I was the chief of sinners.

[@KenAmmi-Shalom]

@@Aethelhart A grain of Dead Sea salt ;o) To bottom line it: He taught post-flood Nephilim so that's not a biblical doctrine, he just picked up one line from an "evil report" from centuries post-flood by unreliable guys whom God rebuked and ran with it. He taught that demons, "unclean spirits," are the spirits of dead Nephilim but did so via a merely linguistics based argument by picking up folklore from centuries, if not millennia, after the Torah and ran with it.

[@albertvasquez4678]

To anyone who may read this with an open mind, in the original language of the old testament the word hell never appears. Tartarus or sheol do, and both of these words translated means grave/pit. Now read over all the verses in the OT with the word hell and replace it with grave/pit and you will see how it perfectly fits every verse. NOT ONCE is a place of eternal torment mentioned in the old testament manuscripts.

[@NoahHornberger]

All this means is they lacked sufficient revelation of the facts of eternal torment

[@albertvasquez4678]

@@NoahHornberger not necessarily, John 3:16 pretty much spells it out. The wages of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. Everyone was so caught up with wanting to believe this doctrine that they never stopped to ask a simple question. If eternal life is a gift, then how is it possible that everyone has it? But don't get me wrong, I once suffered this state of mind as well. Believing everything I was told because I trusted the people who told me.

[@collybever]

@@albertvasquez4678 But John's gospel is not universalist, as he taught even in John 3.17-21, just beyond John 3.16. When Jesus refers to Gehenna, I heard that was an existing idea, as this valley was a waste area, constantly burning, and deceased criminals and also animals got dumped there. So it was already, iirc, being used by the rabbis as an image of unending punishment. Not pleasant at all, but then just make sure you don't go there, and strive to reach out for others, even if only some of us are good at evangelism, we can all pray.

[@nerumsargon3573]

Shoel is hell in hebrew it is in the old testament.

[@collybever]

Interesting possibility, and seems that they held some of these ideas back then. If one has encountered demonic phenomena, and studied such, it does leave one with the conundrum of where these corrupt spirit beings, that oppress in various ways, and pursue their lusts through us, if they can find entry, came from. One issue though with this view with some support from Bible passages, is that mankind seems to be small in number in primitive (stone age, bronze age) times, so there could not be many of these things, begot by some kind of illicit mix, whereas it would seem there are a lot more of them.

Error and separation still exist today regarding Genesis. All of God's creation was GooD and manifested by/from the Light of God. God's will was for them to Matthew fruit of Good/Evil.

[@KenAmmi-Shalom]

I hate to pseudo-spam but see my book, "What Does the Bible Say About Demons? A Styled Demonology."

[@AidenRKrone]

Like many Christians, I grew up thinking that demons are one-third of angels who rebelled with Lucifer and were cast out of Heaven. (One-third of the angels remained loyal to God, and the other one-third were the angels who voluntarily left Heaven to mate with human females.) In reality, there's little biblical evidence for this idea. Heiser's theory that demons are actually the disembodied spirits of Nephilim/giants makes much more sense. Knowing that this idea is rooted in Second Temple Jewish thinking adds to its credibility. There's just one thing I have a question about: if demons are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim, why did their souls not be sent to Gehenna/Sheol along with other wicked souls? Is it because only pure human souls can be sent to Hell, which means that unclean spirits, being a mixture of humans and angels, are cursed to roam the Earth?

[@anjalE30]

Reprobates do not have souls They were not created by God Which is why they were destroyed The evil spirits are what u call SHADOWS X RAYS

[@anjalE30]

The Accuser, Satan name is NOT Lucifer It is GADREEL And he has not been cast out of heaven,...yet He is cast out in Revelation 12 Which is a time that has not yet come So many misunderstand Satan Because he has confused the minds of man as such So you will always underestimate his rank and the Power that he trulu holds Therefore in battling against him, You will ALWAYS LOSE

I want to know what causes created beings to fall into sin. What is it about us that gives rise to sin? And why didn't God create us without that? It probably has something to do with what we do to ourselves. It's probably because we have the ability to distort our own thinking and distort our own desires/purpose, etc. I just can't help but have this feeling that I wish so bad so sin ever took place. But God has a plan and he is infinitely wise. So there has to be a good reason in his eyes for it all. And that probably has to do with the fact that God's justice, in both mercy and in wrath, will be displayed to us all and to himself for all time. Perhaps the whole point of being a created being is for God himself to reveal the holy and infinite dimensions of his character.

[@stevenrivard9246]

Heiser is massively overrated. We know for a fact from the new testament that rebel heavenly host spirits can possess or influence humans that rebel against God. So what is more likely? 1. God allows evil spirits to take on human flesh... making the distinction between millions of human rapists throughout human history, and evil spirit imposters literally impossible? (And the incarnation of Jesus as nothing reserved for Him alone, but something that is accessible to any heavenly host spirit that wishes to do evil?) OR... 2. The "sons of God" in Genesis 6 are merely the first examples in the bible of evil spirits who posses/influence humans negatively, who have already chosen to rebel against God, and refuse to repent? (Like HUMAN warriors, who were referred to as "mighty MEN of old," who had much success winning and/or leading battles to steal other groups land and women... pridefully collecting whatever they wanted.... Then handing these men over to evil spirits who want to do evil things to human women through the possession of evil men) For anyone who thinks that scenario 1 is MORE LIKELY than scenario 2, I want you to ask yourself these questions tonight... • How would you know if the next stranger waitress you meet at restaurant wasn't secretly an evil spirit who manifested in the flesh, simply to poison you because you are a Christian? • Why doesn't evil spirits manifest on a regular basis to push someone down the steps for fun, or freak out people at crucial moments in their lives? • Why don't evil spirits manifest in the flesh at crucial moments in history to sabotage things in their favor? Nothing like that ever happens because Heiser is wrong. The reason why satan had to enter a rebel Judas to betray Jesus is because evil spirits can not incarnate... Only God can come in the flesh. And if you think that you can prove the ability of heavenly spiritual beings to manifest physically by giving examples of "good" angels in the bible appearing physically.... then please give me even 1 example of that. I bet that every single example you give, could simply be a human messenger that God sent (Probably God had a loyal ministering spirit to posses/influence a human believer for a specific purpose).

[@stevenrivard9246]

@user-md4gy2pr1y You made a claim that Heiser is right, but gave no evidence.

[@matthewarnold5531]

I actually like the work of Heiser, but do think he has missed the point of demons actually being three different types of beings as per the original meaning of the Greek work daimon... 1. Gods of the nations - the heavenly beings, fallen sons of God, who were assigned over the nations as per Deut 32. These aren't the fallen beings that were judged at the Flood of Genesis 6. 2. Intermediary spirits between the gods and humans. These would have included angels in the Hebrew Old Testament, but the word angel only came about as a result of Septuagint translators wanting to make a distinction between spirits from Yahweh, and the fallen spirits working for the other, fallen gods. 3. Spirits of the deceased humans that were not at peace with God upon physical death. These were the unclean spirits, unclean because of Levitical associations with death, as per Numbers and other books of the law. This is often overlooked because of a post Reformation approach to the afterlife, which sees everyone as either being in heaven or Hell. But that itself comes from a poor understanding of what these words meant to the original writers that used a variety of different words to describe such places: Sheol/Hades - the intermediary afterlife, where all, including Jesus, go for initial judgement to determine which region they go into for the start of their afterlife journey - whether it's staying in the place of judgement, or being carried by the angels across the chasm / River, into the region of hades known as paradise / 3rd heaven / Vale of Abraham. The spirits that haven't been made clean in Christ and carried over into the peace and rest of God in the paradise realm are those that remain unclean spirits that wander in dry and arid places seeking rest but cannot find it (Jesus speaks of these unclean spirits in the parable of the unclean spirit). They seek to be embodied by their own means, which includes possession of other, living, humans, to continue their lives without recourse to needing God. This is why the story of Legion makes so much sense when you read it in the context of the unclean spirits being deceased human warriors that have entered a man who was originally practising a mourning ritual that involved necromancy, and opened himself up to the infestation of vengeful spirits. It also explains why they sought to be embodied in pigs (they weren't deceased Jewish warriors - no Jew would be seen dead in a pig 😅). The pigs died due to the revenge of the human slain on the nearby Roman legion that marched on pork. See GhostsGhoulsAndGod.co.uk for more of these deep, contextual, biblical studies. Its very much based within the Heiser Deuteronomy 32 worldview, but takes the afterlife stuff further than Heiser managed to get to before he (sadly) entered it himself.

[@matthewarnold5531]

@Buddz69 you're talking about different testaments. Daimon and pneuma poneros (evil spirit) aren't necessarily the same thing. Daimones can be evil in nature, and can be non-human spirits, but evil spirits (pneuma poneros) are generally non-human spirits. To understand scripture properly, one needs to read it in context, through the eyes and language / culture / history / theology of the writer - rather than inserting our own meanings over the top.

[@earlysda]

2:11 When he said "All of the traditions you will find are again unanimous", any true-in-heart listener could ascertain that this man is not basing his words on biblical truth, but is just spouting worldly information. Angels cannot marry. So we can be certain that the Nephilim were what ancient followers of God always believed: that the righteous sons of Seth saw the wicked daughters of Cain and decided to marry them, giving rise to terrible giants.

[@StageWatcher]

How does a union between a godly man and an ungodly woman result in giants? How does a union between the sons of Seth and the daughters of Cain happen after the Flood, when the human bloodline had been bottlenecked through Noah? Jesus tells us that angels do not marry. That's not the same as saying they can't have intercourse. Humans demonstrate the distinction every day.

[@KenAmmi-Shalom]

That's a non sequitur since you focused on "All of the traditions you will find are again unanimous" but then ignored that point and merely asserted, "Angels cannot marry." Also, the original, traditional, and majority view among the earliest Jewish and Christians commentators, starting in BC days, was the “Angel view” as I proved in my book, “On the Genesis 6 Affair’s Sons of God: Angels or Not?: A Survey of Early Jewish and Christian Commentaries Including Notes on Giants and the Nephilim.” What makes you also merely assert, "righteous sons of Seth" (who were clearly not righteous) and "wicked daughters of Cain" and what makes you assert that there no female Sethites that married male Canites? As for, "giants": The key questions are: What’s the usage of the vague, generic, subjective, multi-usage and modern English word “giants” in English Bibles? What’s your usage of the vague, generic, subjective, multi -usage and modern English word “giants”? Do those two usages agree?

It was obvious gauaging at the size of the trees, the level of the photographer's height, that this figure was at least 9' tall, fully concealed in armor but massively tall and muscular. His grandfather said he had never believed in ghosts until he saw that picture. The 16 year old me didn't understand it.. but believed it. I believe now, as a middle aged man , reflecting back on that story and picture... that it was a giant that Dr. Heiser speaks of.

Ok, I’m missing some info, obviously. So the Sons of God came down and created their own progeny: 1/2 fallen angel, 1/2 fallen human (Nephilim). God cooks their geese in the Flood. The Sons of God are sent down to the abyss. The spirits (of the dead Nephilim, demons) roam the earth. So those creatures found by the 12 spies when they made their reconnaissance mission to the promised land, are the result of a second incursion by another group of fallen Sons of God? Didn’t they learn their lesson of the Flood? Thanks guys for any info you may be willing to share or point me to. Soli Deo Gloria.

[@the.mr.nobody]

Some say second incursion. But some say the wives of Japeth and Ham carried the mixed DNA as all giants stem from the progeny of these two after the flood. Unknown. South American myths say some survived the flood by tunneling underground. Not sure.

[@phillipbrand4098]

The giants werent killed in the flood. According to 1 Enoch in the sentencing of the 200 watcher angels, they were forced to watch their offspring kill each other and then the watcher angels were imprisoned. That was around the time of Jared. In 1Enoch ch 12 it says the watchers taught enchantments, and cuttings of roots, then impregnation. So the giant offspring might have been a mixture of angel dna and the cutting of roots. In the book of Jasher it says that mankind also learned how to mix different species of animals together and thats what caused the flood. In Jubliees its says thay after the flood Canaan found the writting of the watcher in a cave. Its possible that the instructions for mixing dna and cutting of roots were part of the writtings that he found. In the conquest of the promise land with Joshua, they found gaint people and gaint grapes. Those instructions could have been from the writtings Canaan found. The human giants werent as big as the half angel giants so its probably just the cutting of roots and not angel dna mixing. These giants were probably normal humans that had been altered. The dna mixing could explain why whole towns had to be destroyed and God forbid the genetically mixing of beasts and plants. 1 ENOCH CHAPTER VII. 1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells: 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones. 1 Enoch 10:9 And the Lord said to Gabriel: “Proceed against the bastards, and the reprobates, and against the sons of the fornicators. And destroy the sons of the fornicators, and the sons of the Watchers, from amongst men. And send them out, and send them against one another, and let them destroy themselves in battle; for they will not have length of days. Book of Jasher, Chapter 4 18 And their judges and rulers went to the daughters of men and took their wives by force from their husbands according to their choice, and the sons of men in those days took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other, in order therewith to provoke the Lord; and God saw the whole earth and it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted its ways upon earth, all men and all animals. ‭‭Jub Chapter 8 • In the twenty-ninth jubilee, in the first week, in the beginning thereof Arpachshad took to himself a wife and her name was Rasu'eja, the daughter of Susan, the daughter of Elam, and she bare him a son in the third year in this week, and he called his name Kainam. • And the son grew, and his father taught him writing, and he went to seek for himself a place where he might seize for himself a city. • And he found a writing which former (generations) had carved on the rock, and he read what was thereon, and he transcribed it and sinned owing to it; for it contained the teaching of the Watchers in accordance with which they used to observe the omens of the sun and moon and stars in all the signs of heaven. • And he wrote it down and said nothing regarding it; for he was afraid to speak to Noah about it lest he should be angry with him on account of it. Numbers‬ ‭13:23‬ ‭NASB1995‬ [23] Then they came to the valley of Eshcol and from there cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two men, with some of the pomegranates and the figs. Leviticus‬ ‭19:19‬ ‭NASB1995‬ [19] ‘You are to keep My statutes. You shall not breed together two kinds of your cattle; you shall not sow your field with two kinds of seed, nor wear a garment upon you of two kinds of material mixed together.

A lot of people think Nimrod (Gen 10:7-10) may be where the giants came back in. It is strange that Nimrod is listed separately from Cush's other progeny. Also "mighty hunter" may be a clue. The LXX in 10:8 actually says "He was the first on earth to be a giant". In addition, Josephus referencing Nicolaus of Damascus, says some people escaped the flood. “There is a great mountain in Armenia, over Minyas, called Baris, upon which it is reported that many who fled at the time of the Deluge were saved; and that one who was carried in an ark came on shore upon the top of it; and that the remains of the timber were a great while preserved” (Ant 1.3.6 §§ 95). Josephus, a Pharisee, elsewhere, had no problem with the fact that people other than Noah and his family survived the flood “which was the reason why there was no greater number preserved, since there was no place to fly to” (Ant 1.3.5 §§ 89). Pseudo-Eupolemus (prior to 1st century BC) goes even further: “Eupolemus, in his work ‘On the Jews,’ states that the Assyrian city of Babylon was first founded by those who escaped the Flood. They were giants, and they built the tower well known in history. When the tower was destroyed by God’s power, these giants were scattered over the whole earth” (Praeparatio Evangelica 9.17.2-3. He names a giant who escaped the flood as Belos (Praeparatio Evangelica 9.17.8-9; 9.18.2. Also 1Enoch has most of the giants being killed in internecine war prior to the flood. The giants also appear in Bashan with Og Num 21:33; 32:33 and Deut 1:4 which makes sense because Bashan is near Mt. Hermon where the Watchers descended (1En 6:6).

I only desire to share a few thoughts, you can dismiss or take in and add to your collection. If you believe in the Bible, and Trust it is the word and direction from God, we can consider that Jesus descended to heaven at one point. At some point in the future Jesus will return as the Bible described for the second coming. Jesus has returned for other purposes, but these were not announced clearly in the Bible so many people have missed it. This is his world and he can go and return as he pleases. My simple point is, he is a individual person, with flesh and bone. Part of Godhood is understanding and the ability to be connected to all things. Scientists call this entanglement in quantum mechanics. This is how God can be everywhere. So you are right, it’s not a matter of Jesus leaving or returning, he always knows what’s going on, even if he physically is not present at any given moment.

Unclean spirits are as annoying toddlers. They aren't too bright and they do strange things. Once upon a time, before the Fall, they were as servants doing the little things and obedient to their angelic overlords. It was a smooth running operation. Via the Powers of the Airs the communication was productive. All was good. As unclean spirits they still remain in the loop and so they are all able to communicate to each other and to the Fallen. The Powers of the Airs, now unethical, aren't exclusive to these evil entities. This communications technology is available to all though it's kept secret. Witches and Satanists use the Powers of the Airs to their advantages. It's not magic. It is technology. It is extremely unlawful to use the Powers of the Airs for gain because it invites trouble and YHWH frowns on it. God has very good reasons for permitting the use of the Powers of the Airs and I agree. However, the Fallen have gone too far with this tool and it will soon be shut down.

That is what I used to think. But the problem is that you have to continue to play gymnastics when you read, Jude and 1 Peter 3.

Enoch :15 ,Ethiopic book,they are the spirits of the giants, Nephilim .

[@KenAmmi-Shalom]

1 Enoch is Bible contradicting folklore from centuries, if not millennia, after the Torah, see my book, “In Consideration of the Book(s) of Enoch.” That demons are the spirits of dead Nephilim is just folklore from centuries, if not millennia, after the Torah. For a biblical view, please see my article, “Demons Ex Machina: What are Demons?”

🙏 Enoch 15:8-9 8. And now, the giants, who are produced from the spirits and flesh, shall be called [evil spirits] upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. 9. Evil spirits have [proceeded] from their bodies; because they are born from men, ⌈⌈and⌉⌉ from the holy Watchers is their beginning and primal origin; ⌈they shall be [evil spirits on earth,] and⌉ [evil spirits] shall they [be called.]

The book of Enoch is a madeup book by rabbis just a few hundred years before Jesus was born. Beware!

@@KenAmmi-Shalom 🙏 Book of Enoch 1:9 [9] And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him ‭‭Jude 1:14-15 KJV‬‬ [14] And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, [15] to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
