I truly believe that the Bible shows that there are no FALLEN ANGELS in the Old Testament. Please allow me to explain why, using the Bible.
I believe that the Statement made by Jesus where he said he beheld Satan Falling Like Lightening From heaven - this was a prophecy of a future event. OR a past event where Satan had entered the earth. BUT - I do not believe Satan and his Angels have fallen from heaven in the Bible - or yet have been thrown out of heaven - I mean, not yet..
the Bible clearly shows that the spiritual forces of evil even today and at the time when the New testament was written - they were and are today - located / dwelling / located and residing here on earth and their POWERS also are active today - in The Celestials / heavenlies.
Eph 6:12 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 The Celestials / heavenlies = επουρανιοις
This Greek word in The Celestials / heavenlies = is the Greek word = επουρανιοις.
The spiritual wickedness are even today - in - The Celestials / heavenlies = επουρανιοις
Also located, where the Angels - who are themselves “ Spirits “ are also located - today the principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world, the powers of spiritual wickedness and the POWERS OF GOOD are CURRENTLY / NOW in - The Celestials / heavenlies = επουρανιοις
What does this mean - spiritual wickedness in The Celestials / heavenlies = επουρανιοις ? When the New Testament was written, the authors believed that Satan and his Angels were not kicked out of heaven but were on earth and also held power in the Celestials / heavenlies
Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him in his own right in the The Celestials / heavenlies = επουρανιοις
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in The Celestials / heavenlies = επουρανιοις in Christ Jesus:
Eph 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in The Celestials / heavenlies = επουρανιοις might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in The Celestials / heavenlies = επουρανιοις in Christ:
Don’t you agree - that the powers of spiritual wickedness in The Celestials / heavenlies = επουρανιοις …- this is also where The Anointing and Spirit Of God and the Powers of his Angels also are located. Does this seem very clear in God’s word. ?
From the very beginning we see in - Rev 1: Verse - 1
That the Book Of Revelation is - The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, TO SHEW unto his servants THINGS WHICH MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Verse - :3 Blessed he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein:
FOR THIS TIME AT HAND.
From the very beginning, in Revelation, we see clearly that the entire Book is dedicated to - SHEWING unto his servants
THE THINGS WHICH MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS; = the future.
In fact, my friends, there is not a single event or happening revealed in Revelation that mentions, brings up or reveals a single event from the past.
Every single last event in the Book is solely and entirely { only } about the Present and the Future only.
Also, very important - we notice the Greek word : πλανων - meaning deceived “
Rev 20:10 And the devil that “ deceived = πλανων “ them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Again this same Greek word is used in
Rev 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceived = πλανων “ the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
This is what is very, very important, notice what The Holy Spirit is saying here - it is saying that “ Satan, which had deceived the whole / entire world - was cast out into the earth, and his ANGELS were cast out with him.
From the very beginning, in Revelation, we see clearly that the entire Book is dedicated to - SHEWING unto his servants
THE THINGS WHICH MUST SHORTLY COME TO PASS; = the future.
Nothing from the past is revealed, transpiring or ongoing in the Book Of Revelation.
What The Holy Spirit is saying here, in the original manuscripts - it is saying that “ SATAN, WHICH HAD DECEIVED THE WHOLE / ENTIRE WORLD - WAS CAST OUT INTO THE EARTH, AND HIS ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM.
We are not talking about Satan or a Cherub falling out of the heavens or being CAST OUT of heaven because he rebelled against God by misguiding and tricking two confused sinners named Adam and Eve in a little tiny miniature secluded garden. Nor are we find anywhere in the manuscripts that angels were cast out for lusting after women and having relations with them.
Satan and his Angels are CAST OUT _ ONLY _ AFTER THEY HAD - deceived the whole entire world. The manuscripts are very clear.
The passages in Revelation are very chronological, very event- ly laid out step by step, event by event, exactly as God will do.
Chapter - 1. ” Jesus commands John to Write a book and sent the book to the churches.
Saying - Write in a book what you have seen, WHAT IS NOW and what WILL TAKE PLACE LATER” - not the past events and past timeline of his creation.
Rev 4:1 - in the manuscripts - continues to clarify and distinguish that this has absolutely nothing to do with the past. Saying Come up hither, and I WILL SHEW THEE THINGS WHICH MUST BE HEREAFTER.
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
If we read the book from the beginning, relying upon the original manuscripts the Bible bears these facts out clearly. - Satan and His Angels are thrown out of heaven / FALLEN - only after they HAD succeeded in DECEIVING THE WHOLE / ENTIRE WORLD - then - WAS CAST OUT INTO THE EARTH, AND HIS ANGELS WERE CAST OUT WITH HIM.
