Activities <strong>of</strong> Demons<br />
First, they try to block the purpose <strong>of</strong> God. One example <strong>of</strong> this is<br />
found in Daniel 10:10-14, where we learn that a leading demon held<br />
an angel <strong>of</strong> God captive for three weeks to try to prevent God’s<br />
revelation to Daniel. In the future, demons will aid in gathering the<br />
nations for Armageddon to try to halt God’s plan for the Second<br />
Coming (Rev. 16:12-16).<br />
A second general activity is to extend <strong>Satan</strong>’s authority over his<br />
cosmos by doing his bidding (Eph. 2:1-2; 6:11-12).<br />
<strong>The</strong> third broad demonic activity is God’s use <strong>of</strong> demons to carry out<br />
His own purposes, plan, and will. For example, a demon was used to<br />
torment Saul (I Sam. 16:14). A lying demon was used to arrange for<br />
the death <strong>of</strong> Ahab (I Ki. 22:19-23). And a demon was used to keep<br />
Paul humble (II Cor. 12:7).
