We believe that God created a company of sinless spirit-beings called angels. The greatest of all the angels was Lucifer who sinned through pride, and was followed by a great company (1/3) of the angels in his fall. (Rev 12:4, 9; 1:20) These fallen angels then became demons some of which are active today in the execution of Satan’s unholy purposes on earth while others are reserved in chains under darkness. (Isa 14:12-17; Ezek 28:11-19; Jude 1:6; 2 Pet 2:4; 1 Pet 5:8)
