Last week, we talked about where demons come from.

This week, I want to talk about why they’re still here.

So demons are the spirits of the giants in the Old Testament. Most of them probably lived prior to the flood. But they all died, and when they did, their spirits didn’t leave this planet. God left them right here on the earth to act as spirits of affliction against mankind.

These are demons. The ghosts of giants.

God literally says in Enoch 16, “thus shall they destroy until the day of the consummation, the great ⌈judgement⌉.”

And by the way- I’ll show you today that the Bible backs this up 100%.

But hold up. Why do we have to deal with them? The giants and their spirits are irredeemably evil. They do nothing but cause problems. The flood was supposed to give us a fresh start. Why not just send them on down to h-e-double-hockey-sticks and we can be done with them?

I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why the demons got left behind in the book of Enoch, as well as in our Bibles.

And not only that, it’s going to conclude our week-by-week journey through the Book of Enoch that we started in January.

So if you’re ready for that, turn to Matthew 18, and let’s get weird.
