Demon (Daemon)
With respect to the word "Demon…"
The Greek form, rendered "devil" in the Authorized Version
of the New Testament. Daemons are spoken of as spiritual beings (Matt.
8:16; 10:1; 12:43-45) at enmity with God, and as having a certain power
over man (James 2:19; Rev. 16:14). They recognize our Lord as the Son of
God (Matt. 8:20; Luke 4:41). They belong to the number of those angels
that "kept not their first estate," "unclean
spirits," "fallen angels," the angels of the devil (Matt.
25:41; Rev. 12:7-9). They are the "principalities and powers"
against which we must "wrestle" (Eph. 6:12).
