• Fallen Angels: In biblical tradition, demons are often identified as fallen angels—spiritual beings who rebelled against God and were cast out of heaven. The most well-known example is Satan, who, along with other angels, was expelled from God’s presence for their defiance (Revelation 12:9).

• Agents of Temptation: Throughout scripture, demons are depicted as beings that tempt, deceive, and lead people away from God. Their primary goal is to undermine God’s kingdom by ensnaring humans in sin and rebellion. The New Testament frequently shows Jesus casting out demons that possess and torment individuals (Mark 5:9; Luke 4:33-35).

• Powers of Darkness: The Bible refers to demons as part of the "powers and principalities" that rule over the dark spiritual realm (Ephesians 6:12). They are seen as influencing human governments, societies, and individuals to perpetuate evil and suffering in the world.

• Biblical Record: The Old and New Testaments consistently speak of demons as real spiritual beings that are actively engaged in the world. Their interactions with humanity are most clearly seen in the Gospels, where Jesus confronts and exorcises demons, demonstrating His authority over them (Matthew 8:16; Luke 11:14).

• Jewish Tradition: Jewish texts, including the Talmud and other writings, also acknowledge the existence of demons. These beings were often seen as agents of illness, misfortune, and temptation. Jewish exorcism practices were well-known, and the power to cast out demons was viewed as a sign of divine authority.

• Christian Theology: In Christian tradition, demons are recognized as spiritual adversaries to God’s will. Many Church Fathers, including Augustine and Aquinas, wrote extensively about demons, their nature, and their influence on the physical and spiritual realms. They are often viewed as being in direct opposition to the angels who serve God.

• Josephus' Histories: The Jewish historian Josephus wrote about demon possession and exorcism in first-century Judea. He recounted how certain individuals were believed to have the power to cast out demons through rituals and invocations of God’s name. Josephus' work provides historical context for the widespread belief in demons during the time of Christ and early Christianity.
