Interesting about #2 question. I have no idea but am keenly interested.
I have long felt that God could easily create infinite numbers more of angles for His side, were that His desire. He may have set up some 'game rules' for this reality which preclude that but I consider it His option. I don't think God would be the least bit threatened by satan's 1/3 angels if the other 2/3 were on vacation; in a deep sleep or just ceased to exist. God's Spoken Word and Holy Spirit are sufficient, each alone, imho.
In any case, satan's goose is cooked along with that of all his forces. They know it. They are on a vengeance trip. Satan may have deluded his forces that they might be able to overcome God. But satan knows his goose is cooked. The Bible is clear about that. imho.
I have long felt that God could easily create infinite numbers more of angles for His side, were that His desire. I'm sure He could too... but I don't think that's the way He works. He knew from the outset how many He would need, how many He would lose through rebellion... etc, etc. Another interesting thing to note is that pro-creation is something which is unique or limited to the physical realm. Angels are not given in marriage, they don't re-produce, they don't die. Even man is said to be in a non-procreative form in heaven. The only exception I'm aware of is where angels had relations with the daughters of men, producing the giants... but again, the physical realm was involved. So, the multitude of demons (which surely were not created by God for evil) must have originated in the physical realm through procreation. |
