Understanding the Origin of Demons: The Pre-adamic Race

Today, we would be discussing the origin of demons in a view contrary to the widespread belief of most Christians in relation to the Bible. First, let us note that demons are not fallen angels as many do believe. Demons are not the Nephilims of Genesis either. Their origin is traceable to a race which preceded Adam. There is much evidence in the Bible for this position.

There was a human race before Adam. Science has found evidence for life on earth spanning more than 7 million years. There is a lot of misreading regarding the Bible which has produced different schools of thought that are considered to be at variance with scientific reality. The scientific position is easily verifiable in the Bible. While the Adamic race is approximately 6,000 years old, the Bible provides evidence for a race that existed before Adam. It did not coexist with Adam. It was extinct before Adam. We would find answers in the Bible.

Why Demons Cannot Be the Nephilims of Genesis 6
The giant offsprings of angels who impregnated earthly women in Genisis 6 also called Nephilims existed for a short while and were not so many. Even in their days, they were fewer in population in contrast to humans. Demons on the other hand are so numerous. Each man on earth can have thousands of demons residing in him, and yet there'll be more demons remaining. Demons are multiple times more than the population of humans who are just about 8 billion as of 2023. Demons cannot be Nephilims.

Why Demons Cannot Be Fallen Angels
Demons are not fallen angels and I would tell you why. Demons have no bodies, Angels have bodies and can physically appear to people. A demon can live inside a host and use the body of the host to express itself. An angel cannot do that. Angels have their own bodies and cannot inhabit another body. Demons can do that because they are spirits with no bodies. Fallen angels actually control demons. Demons are messenger spirits. In the occult, you are as powerful as the number of demons you have and their respective hierarchies. More on this later.

Hence, demons are neither Nephilims nor fallen angels. Now, who are demons?

Demons are Disembodied Spirits of a Pre-adamic Race
There was a race or races before Adam. We do not know for how long they were in existence before they went extinct but we have ample evidence in the Bible for this position. Science dates them as far back as 7 million years ago. These races had their own civilizations. Archaeology has found human remains and tools dating far into millions of years ago. This contradicts the general postulations among Christians who think that the earth is about 6,000 years old. The Bible never said so.

Let’s hear what the Bible says.

Genesis 1:1 - 2
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

This verse above tells us of two separate events. The first event was the creation of the heavens and the earth in the beginning. The second event is that the earth had become void and formless. God didn’t create a void and formless earth. The earth became so. While the heavens never changed from its original design. In the book of Job, as God queried Job He gave us a clue about how the earth must have been in the beginning.

Job 38:4-7
“Where were you when I laid the earth‘s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?"

When God created the earth in the beginning, He created it in such a beautiful and perfect condition that the angels responded with joyful singing and shouting as seen in the book of Job. There cannot be joyful singing and shouting over a void and formless earth filled with darkness.

The distance between Genesis 1:1 when God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning and Genesis 1:2 when it became formless and void could be hundreds of millions of years. During that time, many things happened. The Bible gave us a hint of what happened in the book of Jeremiah.

Jeremiah 4:23-26
"I beheld the earth, and indeed it was without form, and void; And the heavens, they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and indeed they trembled, And all the hills moved back and forth. I beheld, and indeed there was no man, And all the birds of the heavens had fled. I beheld, and indeed the fruitful land was a wilderness, And all its cities were broken down At the presence of the LORD, By His fierce anger."

A careful look at the above verse would make us see that the formless state of the earth in Genesis 1 was as a result of the fierce anger of the Lord. The fruitful place became a wilderness of water. All the birds of the heavens have fled. All the cities were broken down. There was supposed to be a man but there was no man because the Lord was angry. The earth became formless and the light of the heavens ceased. Jeremiah 4:23-26 simply described how the world was before it became formless and void.

This scripture tells us that there had been men and cities and birds before the Lord overturned the earth in His anger. You would notice that in Genesis 2:26, when God said “let us make man in our image”, He didn’t have to describe what He meant by the term ‘man’. Whoever God was addressing already knew what was called man. They had a previous experience of what man is.

Peter even sheds more light on the pre-adamic events.

2 Peter 3 5-7
"For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:"

Please note that this scripture says ‘the world that then existed perished being overflowed with water’. This scripture refers to a flood in the Pre-Adamic Age, and not to Noah’s flood in the Adamic Age. According to Peter, the world in reference was completely destroyed by the flood. All life on earth in that world totally perished. This was not the case with Noah’s flood. God did not completely destroy all of Noah’s world. Eight people survived that world including Noah himself. Several animals and vegetation survived also. All life on earth did not totally perish. Peter was not talking about Noah's flood but a pre-adamic flood. Also, the earth in Noah’s flood did not stand out of the water, instead, the waters gradually abated from the earth over a period of 150 days (Genesis 8:3). The only time when the earth stood out of the water was in Genesis 1:9:

"And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so."

Therefore, ‘the world that then existed perished’ as referenced by Peter is the Pre-adamic world not Noah’s world.

The pre-adamic world perished with a deluge of water. In Genesis 1, God was renewing the face of the world to make the earth habitable again. God was not creating a new world. That is why you would never read about how God created water in the Bible. God had created water a long time ago in the beginning, and used the water to destroy the earth in His fierce anger. The pre-adamic world perished by water. God has destined this adamic world to perish by fire because of iniquity.

Demons are the disembodied spirits of beings from the pre-adamic world that was utterly destroyed by God. They’re restless without a body and are constantly looking for a body to inhabit (“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, 'I will return to my house from which I came” - Mathew 12:43). That was why they begged the Lord Jesus to send them into pigs when He wanted to drive them out of the mad man of Gadara (Luke 8:26-39).

Demons are very bitter spirits. They’re bitter towards the human race because we are the possessors of the world they once inhabited. However, demons cannot do anything without being invited or commanded. They are the power mediums of darkness. Satan and his fallen angels are powerless against man without demons. Demons are the messenger spirits of the dark realm. Witches, wizards and all people of the occult are powerless without demons.

Demons are the spirits behind every spiritual wickedness being perpetrated in our world. They actually cannot act by themselves, they must be commanded or invited. They simply run errands for Satan, fallen angels and deceived occult humans who are being used as tools to promote the interests of Satan in this world. All the demons of this world are under Satan's command. He has assigned and allocated portions to fallen angels and human agents with whom he forms a network of spiritual wickedness in the world.

Demons are subject to a child of God through the name of Jesus. They tremble at every mention of His name. In the name of Jesus, we cast out demons and dismantle the works of darkness wherever they may be found.

“We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. We know that we are the children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.” 1 John 5:18-19.

Thank you so much for this piece, i will be looking forward to reading more of such write-ups from you. Remain blessed.

Why didn't the water in your postulation kill the demons since the motive was to destroy the pre-adamic beings?

Nice compilation. Disembodied spirits abound and seek embodiment.

Cool one, something to reflect on

Not many are aware of the pre adamite world before our present world

Demons are fallen angels!

The Bible said:

"in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" Genesis 1:1

You can't quote the Bible against itself there were no intelligent beings on this planet before God created Adam and Eve in His image (intelligent beings) Genesis 1:26-28

So if you're presenting your fallacy leave the Bible out of it because it's clearly stated that the first intelligent beings ever on this planet were Adam and Eve!

this one thinks the “earth” in Genesis is talking about planet earth 😂

Spirits can't die bro. Spirits are immortal.

Abeg quote the scriptures that says Adam and Eve were the first intelligent beings.

He didn't quote the Bible against itself. God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning according to the OP.

I really don’t know if many of you are Christians but I know you don’t believe in God even if you’re Christians.

This is imagination and not true, you and your kinds go around with interest picking tables to confuse those do not understand the truth.

It’s sad that you’re believe this, I hope you find Christ someday.

Maynmann:

But he backed it up with scriptures. Please tell us what you think to be the truth.

FxMasterz:


What was it talking about?

Ground.

FxMasterz:

Abeg quote the scriptures that says Adam and Eve were the first intelligent beings.

Then God said: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every creeping animal that is moving on the earth.” Genesis 1:26

Please where were demons at that time?
Because demons are intelligent beings not animals living on instinct!

FxMasterz:

He didn't quote the Bible against itself. God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning according to the OP.

He is saying Adam and Eve weren't the first intelligent beings on planet earth so that's my major concern!

FxMasterz:

According to the Bible there was no pre-adamic race on planet earth! Psalm 115:16

I don't understand what you're talking about. I don't think you understand the OP.

MaxInDHouse:

Psalm 115:16 says "The heavens belong to the Lord but the earth He has given to the sons of men."

Can you explain how that verse says there was no pre-adamic race?

Maynmann:

Ground.

Yes now. That's what the OP said.

FxMasterz:


Yes now. That's what the OP said.

There is ground in other planets.

Maynmann:

There is ground in other planets.

Yes. But the attention here is on only one ground which is earth.

What do you mean by “only one ground”?
The planet you are on is predominantly water.

FxMasterz:


Yes. But the attention here is on only one ground which is earth.

earth means ground, they were not talking about planets.
The attention is on ground not this tiny planet you are on.

Have you watched this fire, water bending movies, we have “earth bending”, that earth is what that verse says.

We're on the same page bro. Earth is what the Bible calls ground and vice versa. All Christians know this. You'll see that I quoted Genesis 1:9, 'Let the dry ground appear.'

FxMasterz:

Psalm 115:16 says "The heavens belong to the Lord but the earth He has given to the sons of men."
Can you explain how that verse says there was no pre-adamic race?

If God gave the earth to the sons of men where were the demons at the time God gave the earth to the sons of men?

MaxInDHouse:

Would you please explain the condemnation? I have defended the Bible to the best of my knowledge.

No, the hebrew bible was not written in English.
And even the word “earth” means ground!, not planet , even the moon has “ground” on it.
The heavens in genesis 1:1 is talking about SKIES. Not only this planet has sky right)


The dry ground is appearing from where?

MaxInDHouse:


If God gave the earth to the sons of men where were the demons at the time God gave the earth to the sons of men?

They were on earth now. They've been disembodied. Fallen angels and Satan were also on earth but God gave the earth to the sons of men.

FxMasterz:

Earth and heaven were created at the same time, so where was satan and the fallen angels before heaven was created?

The dry ground is appearing from under the water.

All the position you made above tallies with my position. There's no argument here. We're not talking about planet but ground.
