1. On the basis of speculation
• See preceding page, "The Supposed Origin of Demons"
2. On the basis of Scripture
a. God's creation : quantitatively
(1) John 1:3
"Through him all things were made; without Him nothing was
made that has been made."
(2) Colossians 1:16
"For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and
on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or
rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him."
b. God's creation : qualitatively
(1) Genesis 1:31
"God saw all that He had made, and it was very good. And
there was evening, and there was morning —the sixth day."
(2) Jude 6
"And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority
but abandoned their own home—these He has kept in
darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the
great Day."
c. God's creation : volitionally responsible
(1) Note again : Ezek. 28:11-19; Isa. 14:12-14
(2) Revelation 12:3-4
"Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red
dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on
his heads. 4 His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and
flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman
who was about to give birth, so that he might devour her
child the moment it was born."
