Who controls demons?

Some say Satan.

Others claim men who are learned in demonology control demons.

Demonology

Demonology is the study of demons or beliefs about demons, especially the methods used to summon and control them.

These deceived souls claim that knowing the words from old manuscripts; saying the words written in old books; following the rituals and using the tools (salt, chalk,candles) from ancient texts: they believe all of this will ultimately keep them from harm while working with a most dangerous creation of He who they have openly rebelled against–God Himself.

It should be pointed out that information about demonology is provided by MAN or the devils themselves.

BUT, the Bible tells us it is God Himself who controls demons.

God created the demonic: God rules His creation.

“For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen”
—Romans 11:36

“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”
—Isaiah 45:7

This makes perfect sense, as

1. God created devils (demons). Therefore, God sets the rules for the demonic, one of His many creations.
2. God uses demons as a judgment for the wicked who disobey His many warnings against such demonic entanglement. Because they reason as men, these wretched, deceived men believe such warnings were given to prevent them from enjoying illegitimate supernatural power–instead of for their own protection.  These deceived men believe they have–after much work, sacrifice and frustration–achieved a great prize.  Instead of a great judgment.
3. God’s Word provides an illustration of demons obeying God in the last days. As they obey God, they are under God’s control.  The description of these events are in the Books of Joel and Revelation.

“And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads. And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions. And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle. And they had tails like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails: and their power was to hurt men five months. And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon.”
–Revelation 9:1-11

The reader may note that

1 – These locusts are not insects, as insect locusts have no king.

“The locusts have no king, yet go they forth all of them by bands”
–Proverbs 30:27

2 – These “locusts” are given a series of commands by God and His angels, which they obey.

“And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.”

3 — The great similarity in the descriptions of the “locusts” in the two accounts (even though these two accounts are hundreds of years apart).

4 – These “locusts” come out of the bottomless pit under the earth.

Another description of these same events in Joel 2 provides a few more details.

“Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks: Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can abide it?”
–Joel 2:1-11

Notice that God’s Word calls this demonic horde “His (God’s) army.”

“And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army”

So, while men study and scheme for years, believing themselves to be the master of their familiar spirits, they are deceived.

It is God Himself who is master of all–including the demonic.

Those “learned men” are only playing at controlling demons.

ULTIMATELY, it is God Almighty Himself who control the demonic–as will be demonstrated in the last days.

Actually, such deceived men are merely rearranging their various judgments for violating the very clear commands contained in God’s Word concerning those who consult with familiar spirits (demons/devils/evil spirits).

While those steeped in demon lore believe themselves to be masters, they are the wretchedly enslaved.

Like all of the deceived, they are not capable of honestly evaluating their spiritual condition.

“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked”
–Revelation 3:17

It is God who ultimately control the demonic.

Regardless of what the many words written in the many books of man claim to the contrary.

DOES the reader believe something is true because it has been written about for centuries?

DOES the reader believe something to be true because certain men insist it is true?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
