Early Church Fathers Thoughts, On The Fallen Angels, Demons, And Giants

Genesis 6:1-2, 4-13

Now, It Came To Pass, When Men (i.e. Mankind) Began To Multiply On The Face Of The Earth, And Daughters Were Born To Them, That The Sons Of GOD (i.e. Angels), SAW The Daughters Of Men (i.e. Mankind), That They WERE Beautiful; And They (These Angels) Took Wives, For Themselves, Of All, Whom They Chose.

There Were Giants (i.e. Nephilim OR Mighty Ones) On The Earth, In Those Days, And Also, Afterward, WHEN, The Sons Of GOD (These Fallen Angels), Came In (i.e. Had Sexual Relations), To The Daughters Of Men (i.e. Mankind), And They (The Daughters Of Men) Bore CHILDREN, To Them (These Fallen Angels). Those (These Giants), WERE The Mighty Men, Who WERE Of Old, Men Of Renown.

THEN, THE LORD (GOD Almighty), SAW That The Wickedness Of Man, WAS Great In The Earth, And THAT, Every Intent Of The Thoughts Of His Heart, WAS Only Evil, Continually! AND THE LORD (GOD Almighty) Was Sorry That HE (GOD Almighty) Had Made Man On The Earth, And HE (GOD Almighty) Was Grieved In HIS Heart!

SO, THE LORD (GOD Almighty) Said, “I (GOD Almighty) Will DESTROY Man, Whom I (GOD Almighty) Have CREATED, From The Face Of The Earth, Both Man, And Beast, Creeping Thing, And Birds Of The Air, For I (GOD Almighty) Am Sorry That I Have MADE Them!”

BUT, Noah Found GRACE, IN THE EYES OF THE LORD (GOD Almighty)! This Is The Genealogy Of Noah. Noah Was A Just Man, Perfect, In His Generations. Noah Walked With GOD (GOD Almighty)! And Noah Begot Three Sons: Shem, Ham, And Japheth.

The Earth Also, Was Corrupt Before GOD (GOD Almighty), And The Earth Was Filled With Violence! SO, GOD (GOD Almighty) LOOKED Upon The Earth, And Indeed, IT Was Corrupt; For All Flesh Had Corrupted Their Way On The Earth! And GOD (GOD Almighty) Said To Noah, “The End Of All Flesh Has Come Before ME (GOD Almighty), For The Earth Is Filled With Violence, Through Them; And Behold, I (GOD Almighty) Will DESTROY Them, With The Earth!”

Genesis 10:6-20

The Sons Of Ham, WERE Cush, Mizraim, Put, And Canaan. The Sons Of Cush, WERE Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, And Sabtechah; And The Sons Of Raamah, WERE Sheba And Dedan. Cush Begot Nimrod; He (Nimrod) Began To Be A Mighty One On The Earth! He (Nimrod) Was A Mighty Hunter, Before THE LORD (GOD Almighty); Therefore, It Is Said, “Like Nimrod, The Mighty Hunter, Before THE LORD (GOD Almighty)!” And The Beginning Of His (Nimrod’s) Kingdom Was Babel, Erech, Accad, And Calneh, In The Land Of Shinar. From THAT Land, He (Nimrod) Went To Assyria, And Built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, And Resen, Between Nineveh And Calah (THAT IS, The Principal City).

Mizraim Begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, Pathrusim, And Casluhim (From Whom, Came The Philistines, And Caphtorim).

Canaan Begot Sidon, His Firstborn, And Heth; The Jebusite, The Amorite, And The Girgashite; The Hivite, The Arkite, And The Sinite; The Arvadite, The Zemarite, And The Hamathite. Afterward, The Families Of The Canaanites Were Dispersed. And The Border Of The Canaanites, Was From Sidon, As YOU Go Toward Gerar, As Far As Gaza; THEN, As YOU Go Toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, And Zeboiim, As Far As Lasha. THESE, WERE The Sons Of Ham, According To Their Families, According To Their Languages, In Their Lands, AND In Their Nations.

Joshua 3:9-10

SO, Joshua Said, To The Children Of Israel, “Come Here, And Hear THE WORDS Of THE LORD, YOUR GOD (GOD Almighty)!” And Joshua Said, “BY THIS, YOU Shall KNOW, That THE LIVING GOD (GOD Almighty) IS Among YOU, And THAT, HE (GOD Almighty) Will, Without Fail, DRIVE OUT From Before YOU (The Children Of Israel), The Canaanites, And The Hittites, And The Hivites, And The Perizzites, And The Girgashites, And The Amorites, And The Jebusites!”

Clement Of Rome (35-101)

The Clementine Homilies

Chapter XII. — Metamorphoses Of The (Fallen) Angels

"For Of The Spirits Who Inhabit The Heaven, The Angels, Who Dwell In The Lowest Region, Being Grieved, At The Ingratitude Of Men (i.e. Mankind), To GOD, Asked That They (These Angels) Might Come Into The Life Of Men (i.e. Mankind), That, Really, Becoming Men, By More Intercourse (i.e. Interaction), They (These Angels) Might Convict Those (i.e. Mankind), Who Had Acted Ungratefully, Towards HIM (GOD), And Might Subject Everyone To Adequate Punishment. When, Therefore, Their Petition Was Granted (By GOD), They (These Angels) Metamorphosed Themselves, Into Every Nature; For, Being Of A More Godlike Substance, They (These Angels) Are Able, Easily, To Assume Any Form. So They (These Angels) Became Precious Stones, And Goodly Pearl, And The Most Beauteous Purple, And Choice Gold, And All Matter That Is Held In Most Esteem. And They (These Angels) Fell Into The Hands Of Some (i.e. Mankind), And Into The Bosoms Of Others, And Suffered Themselves (These Angels), To Be Stolen By Them (i.e. Mankind). They (These Angels) Also, Changed Themselves, Into Beasts, And Reptiles, And Fishes, And Birds, And Into Whatsoever They (These Angels) Pleased.”

Chapter XIII. — The Fall Of The Angels

"BUT When, Having Assumed These Forms, They (These Angels) Convicted, As Covetous, Those (i.e. Mankind), Who Stole Them (These Angels), And Changed Themselves, Into The Nature Of Men, In Order That, Living Holily, And Showing The Possibility Of So Living, They (These Angels) Might Subject The Ungrateful (i.e. Mankind), To Punishment, Yet, Having Become, In All Respects, Men, They (These Angels) Also, Partook Of Human Lust, And Being Brought Under Its (Human Lust) Subjection, They (These Fallen Angels) Fell Into Cohabitation With Women (i.e. Mankind); And Being Involved (Sexually) With Them, And Sunk In Defilement, And Altogether Emptied Of Their First Power, Were Unable To Turn Back, To The First Purity Of Their Proper Nature, Their Members (i.e. Bodily Form) Turned Away From Their Fiery Substance, For The Fire Itself, Being Extinguished, By The Weight Of Lust, [And Changed] Into Flesh (i.e. Human Flesh, The Natural Body), They (These Fallen Angels) Trode, The Impious Path, Downward. For They (These Fallen Angels), Themselves, Being Fettered With The Bonds Of Flesh, Were Constrained And Strongly Bound; Wherefore They (These Fallen Angels) Have NO More Been Able To Ascend, Into The Heavens.”

Chapter XIV. — Their Discoveries.

"For After The Intercourse, Being Asked To Show, What They (These Fallen Angels) Were Before, And Being NO Longer Able To Do So, On Account Of Their Being Unable To Do Aught Else, After Their Defilement, Yet, Wishing To Please Their Mistresses, Instead Of Themselves, They (These Fallen Angels) Showed The Bowels Of The Earth; I Mean, The Choice Metals, Gold, Brass, Silver, Iron, And The Like, With All The Most Precious Stones. And Along With These Charmed Stones, They (These Fallen Angels) Delivered The Arts Of The Things, Pertaining To Each, And Imparted The Discovery Of Magic, And Taught Astronomy, And The Powers Of Roots, And Whatever Was Impossible, To Be Found Out, By The Human Mind; Also, The Melting Of Gold And Silver, And The Like, And The Various Dyeing Of Garments. And All Things, In Short, Which Are For The Adornment And Delight Of Women, Are The Discoveries Of These Demons (These Fallen Angels), Bound In Flesh.”

Chapter XV. — The Giants.

''BUT, From Their Unhallowed Intercourse (With Mankind, i.e. Human Women), Spurious Men Sprang, Much Greater In Stature, Than [Ordinary] Men (i.e. Mankind), Whom They (i.e. Mankind) Afterwards, Called Giants: NOT Those Dragon-Footed Giants, Who Waged War Against GOD, As Those Blasphemous Myths Of The Greeks Do Sing, BUT, Wild In Manners, And Greater Than Men, In Size, Inasmuch As They (These Giants) Were Sprung Of (These Fallen) Angels; Yet, Less Than Angels, As They (These Giants) Were Born Of Women (i.e. Mankind). Therefore GOD, KNOWING, That They (These Giants) Were Barbarized To Brutality, And That, The World Was NOT Sufficient, To Satisfy Them (For IT Was Created, According To The Proportion Of Men, And Human Use), That They (These Giants) Might NOT, Through Want Of Food, Turn, Contrary To Nature, To The Eating Of Animals, And Yet, Seem To Be Blameless, As Having Ventured Upon This, Through Necessity, The Almighty GOD Rained Manna, Upon Them (These Giants), Suited To Their Various Tastes; And They (These Giants) Enjoyed All That They Would. BUT They (These Giants), On Account Of Their Bastard Nature, NOT Being Pleased With Purity Of Food, Longed Only, After The Taste Of Blood. Wherefore, They (These Giants) First Tasted Flesh.”

Chapter XVI. — Cannibalism.

"And The Men (i.e. Mankind), Who Were With Them (These Giants) There, For The First Time, Were Eager To Do The Like. But When Irrational Animals Fell Short, These Bastard Men (These Giants), Tasted Also, Human Flesh (i.e. Mankind, Cannibalism). For It Was NOT A Long Step, To The Consumption Of Flesh, Like Their Own (i.e. Cannibalism), Having First Tasted It, In Other Forms.”

Chapter XVII. — The Flood.

"But By The Shedding Of Much Blood, The Pure Air, Being Defiled With Impure Vapor, And Sickening Those Who Breathed It, Rendered Them Liable To Diseases, So That Thenceforth, Men Died Prematurely. But The Earth, Being, By These Means, Greatly Defiled, These First, Teemed With Poison-Darting, And Deadly Creatures. All Things, Therefore, Going From Bad To Worse, On Account Of These Brutal Demons, GOD Wished To Cast Them Away, Like An Evil Leaven, Lest, Each Generation From A Wicked Seed, Being Like To That Before It, And Equally Impious, Should Empty The World To Come Of Saved Men. And For THIS Purpose, Having Warned A Certain Righteous Man (Noah), With His Three Sons, Together With Their Wives, And Their Children, To Save Themselves In An ARK, HE (GOD) Sent A Deluge Of Water, That All Being Destroyed, The Purified World Might Be Handed Over To Him (Noah), Who Was Saved In THE ARK, In Order To A Second Beginning Of Life. And Thus, It Came To Pass.”

Chapter XVIII. — The Law To The Survivors.

"Since, Therefore, The Souls Of The Deceased Giants, Were Greater Than Human Souls, Inasmuch As They Also, Excelled Their Bodies, They, As Being A New Race, Were Called Also, By A New Name (Demons). And To Those (The Souls Of Giants, i.e. Demons), Who Survived In The World, A Law Was Prescribed Of GOD, Through An Angel, How They (The Souls Of Giants, i.e. Demons) Should Live. For Being Bastards In Race, Of The Fire Of Angels And The Blood Of Women, And Therefore, Liable To Desire, A Certain Race Of Their Own, They (The Souls Of Giants, i.e. Demons) Were Anticipated (THROUGH The Foreknowledge Of GOD Almighty), By A Certain Righteous Law. For A Certain Angel Was Sent To Them (The Souls Of Giants, i.e. Demons), By GOD, Declaring To Them, HIS Will, And Saying: “

Chapter XIX. — The Law To The Giants OR Demons.

"’These Things, Seem Good, To The All-Seeing GOD, That YOU (Demons) Lord It Over NO Man (i.e. Mankind); That YOU (Demons) Trouble NO One, Unless, Anyone (i.e. Mankind) Of His Own Accord, Subject Himself, To YOU (Demons), Worshipping YOU (Demons), And Sacrificing, And Pouring Libations, And Partaking Of Your Table, OR Accomplishing Aught Else, That They (i.e. Mankind) Ought NOT, OR Shedding Blood, OR Tasting Dead Flesh, OR Filling Themselves, With That Which Is Torn Of Beasts, OR That Which Is Cut, OR That Which Is Strangled, OR Aught Else, That Is Unclean. But Those (i.e. Mankind), Who Betake Themselves, To MY LAW, YOU (Demons) NOT ONLY Shall NOT Touch, BUT Shall Also, Do Honor To, And Shall Flee From, Their Presence. For Whatsoever Shall Please Them, Being Just, Respecting YOU, That YOU Shall Be Constrained To Suffer.”

“But, If Any Of Those (i.e. Mankind), Who Worship ME (GOD), Go Astray, Either Committing Adultery, OR Practicing Magic, OR Living Impurely, OR Doing Any Other Of The Things, Which Are NOT Well-Pleasing To ME (GOD), Then, They (i.e. Mankind) Will Have To Suffer Something, At Your Hands, OR Those Of Others, According To MY Order. But Upon Them (i.e. Mankind), When They Repent, I (GOD), Judging Of Their Repentance, Whether It Be Worthy Of Pardon OR Not, Shall Give Sentence. These Things, Therefore, Ye Ought To Remember, And To Do, Well Knowing, That NOT Even Your Thoughts, Shall Be Able To Be Concealed, From HIM (GOD).'”

Chapter XX. — Willing Captives.

"But YOU Are Still Ignorant Of THIS Law, That Everyone (i.e. Mankind), Who Worships Demons, OR Sacrifices To Them, OR Partakes With Them Of Their Table, Shall Become Subject To Them (Demons), And Receive All Punishment From Them, As Being Under Wicked Lords. And YOU (i.e. Mankind), Who, On Account Of Ignorance Of THIS Law, Have Been Corrupted Beside Their Altars, And Have Been Satiated With Food, Offered To Them, Have Come Under Their Power, And Do NOT Know, How YOU Have Been, In Every Way, Injured, In Respect Of Your Bodies. But YOU (i.e. Mankind) Ought To Know, That The Demons Have NO Power Over Anyone, Unless, First, He Be Their Table-Companion; Since NOT Even Their Chief (Satan), Can Do Anything, Contrary To The Law, Imposed Upon Them, By GOD, Wherefore He (Satan) Has NO Power Over Anyone, Who Does NOT Worship Him (Satan).”

Justin Martyr (100-165)

The Second Apology Of Justin Martyr

Chapter Five

GOD, Having Made All The Universe, And Having Put In Subjection, Earthly Things, Unto Men (i.e. Mankind), And Arranging The Heavenly Elements, For The Growing Of Crops, And The Changing Seasons, Even Marshalled, A Divine Law For These, Which Likewise, It Appears, HE (GOD) Had Made, For The Sake Of Men (i.e. Mankind), Committed The Care Of Men And Of All Things Under Heaven, TO Angels, Whom HE (GOD) Appointed Over Them. BUT, The (Fallen) Angels Transgressed THIS Appointment, And Were Captivated, By Love Of Women, And Begot Children, Who Are Those, That Are Called Demons.

And Besides The Rest, They (The Fallen Angels) Enslaved The Human Race (i.e. Mankind), TO Themselves, Partly, By Magic Writings, And Partly, By The Fears And The Punishments, They (The Fallen Angels) Brought Upon Them (i.e. Mankind), And Partly, By The Teachings, Regarding Sacrifices, Incense, And Libations, Which They (The Fallen Angels) Had Come, TO Need, After Being Enslaved, TO The Passion Of Desires. And Among Men (i.e. Mankind), They (The Fallen Angels) Sowed Murders, Wars, Adulteries, Unrestraint, And All Evil.

From Which, The Poets And Mythologists, NOT Knowing, That It Was The (Fallen) Angels And Those Demons, Who Had Been Begotten, By Them (The Fallen Angels), That Did These Things, TO Men And Women, And Cities, And Nations, About Which They (i.e. Mankind) Wrote, Attributed Them, TO Zeus, Himself, And TO Those, Who Were Accounted To Be, His Very Offspring, And TO The Offspring Of Those, Who Were Called His Brothers, Neptune And Pluto, And TO The Children Again Of These, Their Offspring. For Whatever Name, Each Of The (Fallen) Angels Had Given, TO Himself, And His Children, By That Name, They (i.e. Mankind) Called Them (The Fallen Angels).

Irenaeus (130-202)

A Discourse In Demonstration Of The Apostolic Preaching

18. And For A Very Long While, Wickedness Extended And Spread, And Reached And Laid Hold Upon The Whole Race Of Mankind, Until A Very Small Seed Of Righteousness Remained Among Them, And Illicit Unions Took Place Upon The Earth, Since (Fallen) Angels Were United With The Daughters Of The Race Of Mankind; And They Bore To Them (These Fallen Angels), Sons, Who, For Their Exceeding Greatness, Were Called Giants. And The (Fallen) Angels Brought As Presents To Their Wives, Teachings Of Wickedness, In That, They (These Fallen Angels) Brought Them, The Virtues Of Roots And Herbs, Dyeing In Colors, And Cosmetics, The Discovery Of Rare Substances, Love-Potions, Aversions, Amours, Concupiscence, Constraints Of Love, Spells Of Bewitchment, And All Sorcery And Idolatry, Hateful To GOD; By The Entry Of Which Things Into The World, Evil Extended And Spread, While Righteousness Was Diminished And Enfeebled.

20. Now Of These (Noah’s Three Sons), One Fell Under A Curse, And The Two (Others), Inherited A Blessing, By Reason Of Their Works. For The Younger Of Them,
Who Was Called Ham, Having Mocked His Father, And Having Been Condemned Of The Sin Of Impiety, Because Of His Outrage And Unrighteousness Against His Father (Noah), Received A CURSE; And All The Posterity (Children) That Came Of Him, He Involved In THE CURSE; Whence It Came About, That His Whole Race, After Him, Were Accursed, And In Sins, They Increased And Multiplied. But Shem And Japheth, His Brothers, Because Of Their Piety Towards Their Father (Noah), Obtained A BLESSING. Now, THE CURSE Of Ham, Wherewith His Father, Noah, Cursed Him, IS THIS:

Cursed Be Ham, The Child; A Servant Shall He Be Unto His Brethren. THIS Having Come Upon His Race, He (Ham) Begat Many Descendants Upon The Earth, (Even) For Fourteen Generations, Growing Up, In A Wild Condition; And THEN, His Race Was CUT OFF, BY GOD, Being Delivered Up To Judgment. For The Canaanites, And Hittites, And Peresites, And Hivites, And Amorites, And Jebusites, And Gergasites, And Sodomites, The Arabians Also, And The Dwellers In Phoenicia, All The Egyptians, And The Libyans, Are Of The Posterity Of Ham, Who Have Fallen Under THE CURSE; For THE CURSE Is Of Long Duration, Over The Ungodly.

Tertullian (155-240)

Apology, Chapter XXII

We Are Instructed, Moreover, By Our Sacred Books, How From Certain Angels, Who Fell Of Their Own Free-Will, There Sprang A More Wicked Demon-Brood, Condemned Of GOD, Along With The Authors Of Their Race, And That Chief (Satan), We Have Referred To. It Will For The Present, Be Enough, However, That Some Account Is Given Of Their Work. Their Great Business Is The Ruin Of Mankind. So, From The Very First, Spiritual Wickedness, Sought Our Destruction.

So, Too, By An Influence, Equally Obscure, Demons (The Offspring) And (These Fallen) Angels, Breathe Into The Soul, And Rouse Up Its Corruptions, With Furious Passions, And Vile Excesses; OR With Cruel Lusts Accompanied By Various Errors, Of Which The Worst, Is That By Which These Deities Are Commended, To The Favor Of Deceived And Deluded Human Beings, That They (i.e. Mankind) May Get Their Proper Food Of Flesh-Fumes And Blood, When That Is Offered Up To Idol-Images. What Is Daintier Food To The Spirit Of Evil, Than Turning Men's Minds Away From THE TRUE GOD, By The Illusions Of A False Divination?

And Here I Explain, How These Illusions Are Managed. Every Spirit (i.e. Demons) Is Possessed Of Wings. This Is A Common Property Of Both Angels And Demons. So They (Demons) Are Everywhere In A Single Moment; The Whole World, Is As One Place To Them (Demons); All That Is Done Over The Whole Extent Of It, It Is As Easy For Them To Know, As To Report. Their Swiftness Of Motion, Is Taken For Divinity, Because Their Nature Is Unknown. Thus, They (Demons) Would Have Themselves Thought, Sometimes, The Authors Of The Things, Which They Announce; And Sometimes, NO Doubt, The Bad Things Are Their Doing, NEVER THE GOOD. THE PURPOSES Of GOD, Too, They (Demons) Took Up Of Old, From The Lips Of The Prophets (Of GOD), Even As They Spoke Them; And They (Demons) Gather Them, Still, From Their Works, When They (Demons) Hear Them Read Aloud. Thus Getting, Too, From THIS Source (The Holy Bible, AND Specifically, The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), Some Intimations Of The Future, They (Demons) Set Themselves Up, As Rivals Of THE TRUE GOD, While They (Demons) Steal HIS Divinations.

From Dwelling In The Air, And Their Nearness To The Stars, And Their Commerce With The Clouds, They (Demons) Have Means Of Knowing, The Preparatory Processes Going On, In These Upper Regions, And Thus, Can Give Promise Of The Rains, Which They (Demons) Already Feel. Very Kind Too, NO Doubt, They (Demons) Are, In Regard To The Healing Of Diseases. For, First Of All, They (Demons) Make You Ill; THEN, To Get A Miracle Out Of It, They (Demons) Command The Application Of Remedies, Either Altogether New, OR Contrary, To Those In Use, And Straightway, Withdrawing Hurtful Influence, They (Demons) Are Supposed To Have Wrought A Cure. What Need, Then, To Speak Of Their Other Artifices, OR Yet, Further Of The Deceptive Power, Which They (Demons) Have, As Spirits.

Lucius Lactanius (250-325)

Divine Institutes, Book II, Of The Origin Of Error

Book II. Of The Origin Of Error.

Chapter XV. Of The Corruption Of Angels, And The Two Kinds Of Demons.

When, Therefore, The Number Of Men Had Begun To Increase, GOD, In HIS Forethought (i.e. Foreknowledge), Lest, the devil (Satan), To Whom, From The Beginning, HE (GOD) Had Given Power Over The Earth, Should, By His Subtlety, Either Corrupt OR Destroy Men (i.e. Mankind), As He (the devil/Satan) Had Done At First, (GOD) Sent Angels, For The Protection And Improvement Of The Human Race (i.e. Mankind); And Inasmuch, As HE (GOD) Had Given These (Angels) A Free Will, HE (GOD) Enjoined Them, Above All Things, NOT To Defile Themselves, With Contamination From The Earth, And Thus, Lose The Dignity Of Their Heavenly Nature. HE (GOD) Plainly PROHIBITED Them (These Angels), From Doing THAT Which, HE (GOD) KNEW (i.e. The Foreknowledge Of GOD Almighty), That They (These Angels) Would Do, That They (These Angels) Might Entertain NO Hope Of Pardon.

Therefore, While They (These Angels) Abode Among Men (i.e. Mankind), That Most Deceitful Ruler Of The Earth (the devil/Satan), By His Very Association, Gradually Enticed Them (These Angels) To Vices, And Polluted Them, By (Sexual) Intercourse With Women. THEN, NOT Being Admitted Into Heaven, On Account Of The Sins, Into Which, They (These Fallen Angels) Had Plunged Themselves, They Fell To The Earth. Thus, From (These Fallen) Angels, the devil (Satan) Makes Them, To Become His Satellites And Attendants. BUT, They (i.e. The Offspring Of The Fallen Angels And Women), Who Were Born From These (Fallen Angels), Because They (The Offspring) Were Neither Angels NOR Men, BUT, Bearing A Kind Of Mixed Nature, Were NOT Admitted Into Hell, As Their Fathers (The Fallen Angels) Were NOT (Admitted) Into Heaven. Thus, There Came To Be Two Kinds Of Demons; One Of Heaven (The Fallen Angels), The Other Of The Earth (i.e. The Offspring Of The Fallen Angels And Women). The Latter (Demons) Are The Wicked Spirits, The Authors Of All The Evils Which Are Done, And The Same devil (Satan) Is Their Prince.

2 Peter 2:4

For IF GOD (GOD Almighty) Did NOT Spare The (Fallen) Angels, Who Sinned, BUT Cast THEM, Down To Hell, And Delivered THEM, Into Chains Of Darkness, To Be RESERVED, FOR JUDGMENT!

Jude 1:6-7

And The (Fallen) Angels, Who Did NOT Keep Their Proper Domain, BUT Left Their Own Abode (i.e. Heaven), HE (GOD Almighty) Has RESERVED, In EVERLASTING CHAINS Under Darkness, FOR THE JUDGMENT Of THE GREAT DAY; As Sodom And Gomorrah, And The Cities Around Them, In A Similar Manner, To These (Fallen Angels), Having Given Themselves Over, To Sexual Immorality, And Gone After Strange Flesh (i.e. Sexual Relations With Mankind), Are SET FORTH, As An Example, Suffering The Vengeance (i.e. Punishment) Of ETERNAL FIRE (The Lake Of Fire, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION)!

Jesus Christ ABIDES WITHIN Us, THROUGH The Holy Spirit; Therefore, Jesus Christ WALKS WITH Us, The Holy Spirit TEACHES Us, And Most Importantly, GOD Almighty WATCHES Over Us, Always!

Fellow Believers, Wherever YOU Are, Wherever YOU Go, Whatever YOU Do; Be It, In The Natural Physical World, OR In Cyber World; May OUR LORD Jesus Christ, Find YOU, Going About THE FATHER’S Business, Which IS, Sharing The Gospel Of Jesus Christ, As A Good And Faithful Servant! Amen.
