What Happened to the third of Angels that fell with Satan?
QUESTION: What happened to the third of the Angels that fell with Satan? Are they ever mentioned again? And where do they live now?
ANSWER: Thank you for your question! The Bible provided us knowledge on what happened to the 1/3 of the angels who symphatized with Satan up until to the end. Please note below:
I assume you are referring to this verse...
- Revelation 12:4 "- "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born."
In prophetic symbolism, "stars" refer to angels (see Revelation 1:20).
- Revelation 1:20 "The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches."
So, in verse 9 it give us more details that the third part of the angels were cast out with the Devil, who is Satan, to the earth whose works is to deceive the people...
- Revelation 12:9 "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
These fallen angels are also the spirits of devils...
Revelation 16:14 "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."In fact, we are told that the head of fallen angels which is Satan is called the prince of the power of the air.
- Ephesians 2:2 “Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:”
This implies that fallen angels are everywhere in this world. In His ministry, Jesus met them. Even the children of God now meet them. And since, Satan is "the god of this world," 2 Corinthians 4:4, he of course has a throne, or what John said Satan’s seat where he dwells.
- Revelation 2:13 "I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
We don't know it’s exact location, but the Bible give us a hint where that is, and it’s the best place on earth to fight God's works and His people.
So, if we will apply this symbolism, the seat of Satan is in the Vatican. In fact, we have a page in our website where Satanism is discovered in Vatican. Please check it out.
- Revelation 18:2 "And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."
These fallen angels also reside or dwell in spiritual Babylon (refer to apostate/harlot churches, see James 4:4) ...
- James 4:4 "Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."
Finally, these evil angels along with Satan the Devil who rebelled against God's government will in the end be cast down to hell, the lake of fire until they become ashes (see Malachi 4:1-3).
- Malachi 4:1-3 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. (2) But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. (3) And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
- Matthew 25:41 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:"
- Jude 6 "And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."
- 2Peter 2:4 "For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment."
- Revelation 20:10 - "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
I hope and pray this brings truth, light and comfort to your soul.
