Humanity shares Planet Earth with angels, some of whom are invisible, evil enemies that we must resist to overcome sin. These sinning angels, referred to as demons, live on despite their rebellion, unlike humans who die as a result of sin. Angels were created before Adam and Eve, and there is no record of any angel dying, even from the war that broke out due to their defiance. Sinning angels, at least 6,000 years old, continue to exist, with no indication in Scripture of new angels being created. Though their movements are restricted to the earth unless called before God, they remain free to deceive and harass mankind to some extent. The penalty for their sins has not been fully carried out beyond a measure of constraint, leaving open the question of whether further judgment awaits. These sinning angels express fear of destruction and torment, acknowledging a set future time for their reckoning, yet they continue to live like prisoners with no hope of parole. Scripture indicates that the wages of sin, if not repented of, is death, and an angel, as a living being with the liberty to make moral choices, is also a soul subject to this principle. God's justice is fair, using the same standard for all, whether man or angel, with each judged individually. As God purges sin and unrepentant sinners from existence, sinning angels are not excused; their sinful works are to be burned up along with all contamination on earth. Prophecies of the New Heaven and New Earth describe a righteousness so pure that no sin, not even in memory, will remain. The unrepentant, lying, and murderous demons will not endure; they will be burned up in the Lake of Fire, ensuring that nothing will mar the pure moral and spiritual environment of God's Kingdom.

God created the angels through Jesus Christ, as established in the beginning of time. Initially, they were present at the original creation of the earth, rejoicing as the morning stars and sons of God. Among them was Lucifer, created perfect in his ways until iniquity was found in him. His rebellion, as described, involved a desire to ascend into heaven, exalt his throne above the stars of God, and be like the Most High. This sin led to a chaotic condition on earth, occurring between the initial creation and the recreation of the heavens and earth, before man was formed. The sinning angels, led by Lucifer, did not keep their proper domain, leaving their habitation. God cast them down to hell, delivering them into chains of darkness to be reserved for judgment. Their sin brought destruction to the earth prior to the creation of Adam, as there were no human beings to cause such chaos at that time. These fallen angels, under the leadership of the Devil, currently hold dominion over the present world, ruthlessly ruling and negatively influencing its inhabitants. In contrast, the holy angels remain submissive to God, serving as powerful, responsible beings tasked with ministering to the faithful elect of God.

The following is a concise rewrite of the sections related to 'Angels, Sinning' from the provided material, maintaining the original tone and focusing on complete sentences relevant to the subject. Non-English words are italicized as instructed, and pronouns for Satan and related entities are not capitalized, while pronouns for God and Jesus Christ are capitalized. —- God's law declares that the wages of sin is death. Does this apply only to mankind, or do angels face the same penalty when they sin? Many angels have sinned, yet they remain alive, with no record in the Scriptures of an angel dying. However, God has the power to put them to death, and it is possible that this judgment is withheld until He is ready to execute it. Angels are souls, living beings with the liberty to make moral choices, and they too will be judged individually. The soul that sins shall die, as God has stated, and this principle includes angels. There is no record in the Bible of any angel repenting. Forgiveness is available through repentance, but without it, angels bear unrepented sin, which leads to death. God's standards of judgment are not random; they apply to both angels and men, holding each responsible according to the level of gifting they were given. Angels knew God's will and were well aware of the consequences of sin. Ezekiel 28:12-16 describes a being, identified as the anointed cherub, who was perfect until iniquity was found in him. Due to his sin, God cast him out and declared his destruction. Ezekiel 28:17-19 further prophesies that this cherub will be devoured by fire, turned to ashes, and shall be no more forever. The Hebrew term abad, used for destroy, indicates a complete disappearance or cessation of existence. This destruction by fire is specific to this angelic being, showing that God keeps track of the actions of angels and will execute judgment. Demons exhibit fear of God and His power. James 2:19 states that even demons believe in God and tremble, suggesting an awareness of impending judgment. In Luke 4:33-35, a demon cries out to Jesus, fearing destruction, asking if He has come to destroy them. Similarly, in Matthew 8:28-29, demons express fear of torment before the appointed time, indicating they are aware of a future destruction. These encounters reveal that demons respect God's power and fear a painful consequence for their guilt. The term destroy, as used in Luke 4:34 with the Greek word appolumi, means to destroy utterly, implying a loss of being. While other terms like basanazo, used in contexts of torment, do not firmly indicate death, the overarching biblical principle remains that unrepented sin leads to death. Since angels are souls and there is no evidence of their repentance, they face the penalty of death. Revelation 9:11 names the angel of the bottomless pit as Abaddon in Hebrew and Apollyon in Greek, both meaning destroyer, identifying satan as the epitome of destruction. John 8:44 describes him as a murderer from the beginning and the father of lies, personifying sin that destroys life, beauty, and relationships. Sin, inspired by him, devastates everything good, and he will reap what he sows. The new creation in Christ, as described in II Corinthians 5:16-21, applies only to repentant humans and not to sinning angels. There is no reference in the Bible to Jesus Christ paying the penalty for angelic sins, nor any indication that demons have repented or believe in His atoning death. This strongly implies that no means for their forgiveness exists beyond repentance, or that their character is so hardened by hatred and self-centeredness that repentance is impossible. God's purpose includes a New Heaven and New Earth, as prophesied in Isaiah 65:17, where sin will not exist, even in memory. Daniel 9:24 states that Jesus Christ came to make an end of sins and bring in everlasting righteousness, a time when no unrighteousness, including angelic sins, will remain.
