How We Know Angels Exist
It is very simple to know how angels exist. We know man has sinned, yet man was made perfect in God's image, so for there to be sin there needs to be temptation. You can't sin if it is not first given opportunity presented in a choice to accept or refuse some unrighteous idea to go against one's own conscience. And to have temptation presented in a possible choice, there needs to be a tempter.
We know that Adam and Eve did not sin when God alone told them not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and there is no indication they would have done so on God's words alone. If we are to be non-overassuming, this is the correct interpretation. If we did not know any better or worse, we would have continued in our state in the garden with God doing as God said, not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It really would have been that easy!
But a tempter-when a disembodied spirit demon came out of the deep on day two-was compelled by the evil spirit to tempt Eve. It was from this temptation that we were enticed, but could have easily resisted in a heartbeat. Instead of resisting we gave into the tempter's temptation and thus fell into disobedience, locked out of the garden of eden. This explains where demon spirits come from.
We did not know there were angels and demons, but this event certainly leads us to unmistakably be aware of spirit beings.
It stands to reason if there is evil spirit beings, then there would also be spirits that are not fallen. We call these beautiful beings angels which are God's ministering spirits to do His work of administration. There are millions of them, perhaps billions or more. For example, in Rev. 4 we know there are 24 archangels, which are the eldest elders of the universe. 24 is the number God uses for administration such as the 24 courses in the Old Testament.
God creates perfectly (Gen. 1.1), so how did these beings become demons? How did they turn into disembodied evil spirits that seek to inhabit creatures, even man himself? How did they fall? There had to be some catalyst and as in all things it starts with the first and spreads to the others.
Ergo, there was the most beautiful archangel. God says his name was Lucifer. He was one of the 24 archangels. Then he chose to exalt himself to be equal with or above God. He had his own volition and right to separate himself from God. Consequently, God had no choice but to cast him out of 3rd heaven down to 2nd heaven where he roams in the air (by air I mean 2nd heaven, not the universe or the clouds) and is the king of Earth's earliest ages. Satan can interact with Earth from 2nd heaven and move back and forth at will.
Lucifer became Satan and brought 1/3 of the angels with him which are called evil spirits, but they are not disembodied spirits for they do not inhabit bodies. The demons are Satan's lower spirits, but the fallen angels are his upper spirits. As these spirits were fallen and did their bidding over the earth, the creatures that God created for earth gave into Satan and the fallen angels-so they became demons. Some verses indicate that there were cities in Earth's earliest ages. As result they too become utterly corrupted so God eventually made the Earth desolate and waste in Gen. 1.2 and cast the demons on Earth into the deep or the abyss.
Consider the deep or the abyss to mean a dimension for evil spirits which are somehow released through the elements and particles of the waters. Science has no clue how this happens except to say that they suspect Gravitons (scientists are searching rigorously today for this particle through a high impact accelerator which they call the God particle) may be particles that escape our dimension, so oppositely there would be a gravity from the deep that is pulled up when the firmaments were split (the waters below from the waters above). We know Satan will be cast into the bottomless pit for 1000 years and then will be released for a short while, and after that, he will be thrown into hell for all eternity. We also know the Antichrist and the False Prophet will also be released from the abyss for the coming Great Tribulation. They are resurrected Nero and Judas. Judas was called the Devil in the Bible and Caesar Nero in Aramaic is Neron Kaisar which equals 666 (Rev. 13.18), the "number of a man".
When God began to restore creation, He split the firmament on day 2. This is the only day in in Gen. 1 not considered a good day because in order to split the firmament, some of those demons inevitably were released. And one of them, though they could not harm Adam and Eve in the garden, it could tempt through the darkened mind and by the affection of the soul. That is exactly what happened.
