According to 1 Enoch 7.2, the Watchers become "enamoured" with human women [14] and have intercourse with them. The offspring of these unions, and the knowledge they were giving, corrupt human beings and the earth (1 Enoch 10.11–12). [14] Eminent among these angels are Samyaza and Azazel. Like many other fallen angels mentioned in 1 Enoch 8.1–9, Azazel introduces men to "forbidden arts", and it is Azazel who is rebuked by Enoch himself for illicit instruction, as stated in 1 Enoch 13.1. [15] According to 1 Enoch 10.6, God sends the archangel Raphael to chain Azazel in the desert Dudael as punishment. Further, Azazel is blamed for the corruption of earth:

Catechism of the Catholic Church, "The Fall of the Angels" (391–395)". Vatican.va. Archived from the original on 4 September 2012 . Retrieved 3 July 2012. Such earthly fallen angels were used as a possible origin of fairies in Irish and Scandinavian folk-tales. Depending on the place they fell, they will remain as spirits of the specific element, but are usually benevolent and harmless. [92] If such fairies were identified with the Biblical fallen angels, their salvation after Judgement Day was usually denied, since the fallen angels could not return to heaven. [93] Later Protestant thinkers increasingly dismissed belief in fairies and neutral angels as part of either fairy-tales or a delusion cast by Satan. [94] Protestantism [ edit ] Fallen angels in Hell ( c. 1841), by John Martin The Fallen Angel (1847), by Alexandre Cabanel, depicting Lucifer Azrael: which means "Help of God." For the Islamic culture it is the angel of death, but for the Christian and Hebrew tradition it is in charge of receiving in heaven the prayers sent by human beings. Dumah: we find him in Jewish literature. He is considered as the angel of death, with a thousand eyes, who carries in his hands a burning sword and represents destruction.Harut and Marut are a pair of angels mentioned in Surah 2:102 teaching magic. Although the reason behind their stay on earth is not mentioned in the Quran, the following narration became canonized in Islamic tradition. [124] The Quran exegete Tabari attributed this story to Ibn Masud and Ibn Abbas [125] and is also attested by Ahmad ibn Hanbal. [126] Briefly summarized, the angels complain about the mischievousness of mankind and make a request to destroy them. Consequently, God offers a test to determine whether or not the angels would do better than humans for long: the angels are endowed with human-like urges and Satan has power over them. The angels choose two (or in some accounts three) among themselves. However, on Earth, these angels entertain and act upon sexual desires and become guilty of idol worship, whereupon they even kill an innocent witness of their actions. For their deeds, they are not allowed to ascend to heaven again. [127] Probably the names Harut and Marut are of Zoroastrian origin and derived from two Amesha Spentas called Haurvatat and Ameretat. [128] Although the Quran gave these fallen angels Iranian names, mufassirs recognized them as from the Book of Watchers. In accordance with 3 Enoch, al-Kalbi (737 AD – 819 AD) named three angels descending to earth, and he even gave them their Enochian names. He explained that one of them returned to heaven and the other two changed their names to Harut and Marut. [129] However, like in the story of Iblis, the story of Harut and Marut does not contain any trace of angelic revolt. Rather, the stories about fallen angels are related to a rivalry between humans and angels. [130] As the Quran affirms, Harut and Marut are sent by God and, unlike the Watchers, they only instruct humans to witchcraft by God's permission, [131] just as Iblis can just tempt humans by God's permission. [132] Literature [ edit ] Lucifer being expelled from Heaven, depicting the "Fall of Lucifer". Illustration by Gustave Doré for John Milton's Paradise Lost (1866) When you make the conscious choice to work with your angels, they give you signs like numbers and feathers to let you know you are on the right path or to guide you. They offer you subtle signs, hints, and messages to show the way and let you know they are with you. These signs are usually repetitive, out of the ordinary, personally meaningful co-incidents, abnormal or unexpected.They also give us signs of impending danger or warnings when we need to pay better attention to what is going on around us. The spiritual beings belonging to the angelic world are divided into angels and fallen angels, here are a few names of those who consider themselves both angels and demons. Some of the names of fallen angels are: Seraphim have six wings. Two are used for covering their faces, two for covering their feet, and two for flight. The Quran mentions the fall of Iblis in several Surahs. Surah Al-Anbiya states that angels claiming divine honors were to be punished with hell. [103] Further, Surah 2:102 implies that a pair of fallen angels introduces magic to humanity. However, the latter angels did not accompany Iblis. Fallen angels work in entirely different ways in the Quran and Tafsir. [104] According to the Isma'ilism work Umm al-Kitab, Azazil boasts about himself being superior to God until he is thrown into lower celestial spheres and ends up on earth. [105] Iblis is often described as being chained in the lowest pit of hell ( Sijjin) by various scholars, including Fakhr al-Din al-Razi (1150–1210) [106] and commands, according to Al-Tha'alibis (961–1038) Qisas Al-Anbiya, his host of rebel angels ( shayāṭīn) and the fiercest jinn ( ifrit) from there. [107] In a Shia narrative from Ja'far al-Sadiq (700 or 702–765), Idris (Enoch) meets an angel, which the wrath of God falls upon, and his wings and hair are cut off; after Idris prays for him to God, his wings and hair are restored. In return they become friends and at his request the angel takes Idris to the heavens to meet the angel of death. [108] In Shia traditions, a cherub called Futrus was cast out from heaven and fell to the earth in the form a snake. [109]

Fallen Angels As Demons

Lucifer: whose name, ironically, means "Bearer of light" is the captain of the fallen angels. He is said to be the most beautiful angel and was expelled from heaven for his arrogance, as we saw earlier. I don’t know why there would be one prince and multiple kings. It’s possible that princes outrank kings in the celestial hierarchy—or maybe this Prince of Persia was a prize fighter on the battlefield and the kings of Persia were the strategic brain trust. We could speculate on this all day. 7. Rulers, powers, etc. But these incorrect teachings about fallen angels, demons, devils, Satan, Lucifer and the like have evolved over time into the fearful beliefs many believe, today. And, the original, freeing messages became lost. By comparing ancient manuscripts primarily found within the Old and New Testaments, a misunderstanding of the original ideas (originally parables) spawned all sorts of instruction about devils. Other ancient writings, such as 1 Enoch and Jubilees, have also been used to fill in the holes of these supposed biblical lessons.
