The World of Evil Spirits



Before God began the Creation in earnest, He created the spiritual world and many spiritual beings in it. And, to gain true children whom He could share love with forever, He also allowed for the world of evil spirits to exist for human cultivation.



The World of Evil Spirits Was Allowed after Lucifer's Rebellion

In the spiritual world, God created spiritual beings: angels and cherubim. They were organized very well in a strict order so that they would perfectly carry out the commands of God. Their number was infinite. Among angels, three female archangels that served God the Trinity were given human nature by God. One of them was Lucifer, and she served God. She gave praises to God with beautiful voice and various instruments, and she pleased God with sweetness of her words. She was greatly loved by God and enjoyed great authority and honor.

As untold time passed by, Lucifer's human nature aroused arrogance in her and she desired to become like God. She gathered spiritual beings and rose up in rebellion against God. The dragons that had encircled the throne of God, a third of the angels, and a great number of cherubim joined the rebellion. However, it failed and they were all put into the abyss.

On the first night of the Creation, after God separated the light from the darkness, He released Lucifer, the dragons, and some of the fallen angels from the abyss.

On the second day, after God created the expanse, He allowed a space for them, and there Lucifer set up her kingdom and organized the world of evil spirits.


Lucifer, the Head of Evil Spirits and the Roles and Order of Evil Spirits

Lucifer is the head of the world of evil spirits, and below her there are two groups, and they try to disturb and disrupt the ministry of God the Trinity.

Lucifer governs her kingdom through the two groups. One is the class that consists of dragons and their servants, and the other is the class that consists of Satan and the devil. Lucifer gives orders through these two classes. Here, Lucifer made the rank of dragons' servants higher than that of the devil. It was the promise she made with the dragons when she planned the rebellion in order to win the dragons over to her side.

Thus, the rank of the devil is the lowest in the world of evil spirits. Of course the rank of the demons is the lowest, but demons are originally different from the other evil spirits; so they don't stay in the second heaven but stay on the earth.



1) Lucifer, the Head of the World of Evil Spirits

The fallen Lucifer may do things by herself, but usually she leads the flow of the darkness from behind the scenes. Through the culture of the world, especially through music, she tries to control the hearts and minds of people. The people under her influence think and act as Lucifer intends for them to act without realizing it. Now, people's outer appearances, hair styles, and even makeup have become more and more provocative. This is a result of receiving Lucifer's influences.

In addition, as the secular culture rapidly spreads through TV and the Internet, people tend to be stained by sin more easily. Lucifer also instigates those people and let them stand against God. Lucifer uses all kinds of means to deceive people and make them worship her.

2) Dragons and their Servants

Lucifer also works through the dragons. Lucifer gives orders to the dragons and they in turn give orders to their servants. It is not, however, as though they receive every order from Lucifer at every moment. Lucifer had already planted her thought and mind into the dragons long ago.

For example, just as Lucifer desires to be worshiped, the dragons also have such desire. So, since most ancient times, the dragons instigated people to carve patterns and likenesses of dragons in many places and caused people to worship them.

The cherubim that followed their dragons during the rebellion became the dragons' servants. Their outward appearances changed from their original beautiful appearances to hideous beast-like images. As a reference, Leviticus 11 lists the animals that are detestable to God. It is these animals that have the shape and look of the fallen cherubim. Some diseases are caused by the work of the dragons' servants. When you pray for the healing of diseases, you can see sometimes a bunch of mice go out from the people's body. Sometimes animals with a shape of a swine go out.

Now, dragons also incite evil people through their servants to commit unusually cruel crimes such as human trafficking and murder. Depending upon which animal incites and influences the actions from among the servants of the dragons, the outcome of the evil may vary. It is because animals have different characteristics when it comes to atrocity, cunningness, uncleanness and filthiness.

3) Satan and Devil

Satan has the capabilities of Lucifer, so it causes harm to people by inciting and instigating evil thoughts and influencing mindsets, and it also brings diseases on people. Satan continually spreads its corrupted mindsets and capabilities into the air. It is similar to airwaves, so Satan instills the abilities of the darkness through the mental process of people whose 'reception frequency' is set to receive its signal. Here, the untruth and the attributes of the flesh in a person act as the receiving antenna.

The devil makes people put untruthful thoughts into action (1 John 3:8). The devil also plays the role of bringing trials and afflictions for the price of the sin they commit. The devil does not work directly inside of people. People come to have the thoughts of untruth by the work of Satan, and when their sinful attributes are stirred up in their hearts, the devil begins working. The devil agitates the sinful attributes and this eventually causes them to commit the deeds of untruth (Galatians 5:19-21). By the work of the devil, they may commit horrible crimes that should never be committed by a human being.

As Ephesians 6:10-13 reads, to stand firm against the schemes of the devil, we should be strong in the Lord and put on the full armor of God.
