Rather ironic as it is said demons were angels at one time
Demons are angels. They are angels who reject Gods will
This is Part one and Part two of an excellent piece written by David Jeremiah.....

Here is something related to this that you may find interesting in the Genesis 1 account of creation…
The creation story is detailed in this chapter as God created all the elements we know on planet Earth over the course of 6 days. Since God created ‘light’ itself on Day 1 and with that, the concepts of day and night, this means that Day 1 was established at the same time as the structure was created for the concept of ‘days to even exist’. But I digress….
For each of the 6 days when distinctive elements of God’s creation were brought into being, Genesis 1 says “and God saw that it was good” although on Day 6 when ‘man’ was created this is described as “VERY good.”….. but there is one exception and that is Day 2 for which the concluding statement of the other days (“and God saw that it was good”)…..is not there. Why is that?
On Day 2, God created the firmament (verses 6-8) which seems to indicate that the rough form of earth created on Day 1 was originally covered or surrounded in some form of water (see verse 2). Verses 6 to 8 seem to indicate that ‘water’ was separated into liquid and gaseous states and the atmosphere of what we call ‘air’ was created… one can read many things into the text, and it would be stupid to be dogmatic in a position about this but verses 6-8 in conjunction with other verses in Scripture seems to indicate what this means.
So why was the creation of our atmosphere not considered to be good? It seems that the answer to this lies in other verses found in scripture…
- Job 1 is a very interesting chapter that amongst other things, contains a discussion between God and Satan. Here are verses 6 and 7… “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. 7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.”
- 1 Peter 5:8 says this… “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:”
- And Ephesians 6:12 says this… “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.”
So…. Why is the creation of the atmosphere that we live and breathe in not described by God as ‘being good’? I think scripture makes it clear that this is where Satan and the rest of the fallen angels (demons) were put into when God cast them out of heaven, and this is where they reside (Revelation 12:7-9. How can it be considered good when this is the abode of Satan and his host of demons?
