Is there a real Spiritual world, and if there is a world of spirits or spirit being?  What role do spirits play in mans life?  How does a spirit world influence what happens in our material world?  Is there other powerful beings in heaven known as angels?  When, how did a powerful angel called Lucifer become an adversary?  What influence did Satan have in the fall of man and is he the god of this world?

To most people, Satan represents the ultimate form of evil.  Satan is the chief of all demons and evil spirits, the archrival of God and Jesus Christ, He is not someone to be worshiped and adored.  That is why Satan must use lies and deceit if he is to influence most people.  

The Bible tells us that, “God is a spirit, and that we must worship Him in the spirit and in truth,” (John 4:24), whom no one has ever seen, (John 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:16), and from the Bible we know there is a great multitude of angelic and they are very powerful beings, in heaven and on earth, and they are called angels or spiritual beings, (Revelation 5:11).

From the Bible we know there are other powerful beings in heaven known as angels.  Most of them are friendly and kind and helpful.  They often appear in the Bible recording agents or messengers for God or serving and protection of human beings.  Although occasionally angels so manifest themselves in something resembling human forms, (Genesis 18:1-3), they are not bound by physical limitation.  They are created, eternal beings in the spirit world.

They are supernatural or heavenly beings a little higher in dignity than man.  Angels are created beings, (Psalm 148:5; Colossians 1:16).  Scripture does not tell us the time of their creation, but we know that it was before the creation of man, (Job 38:7).  They are described as “spirit beings, (Hebrews 1:14).  They are various ranks with—Michael—called an archangel, (Jude 9).  This great host of angels, both good and bad, are highly organized, (Romans 8:38; Ephesians 1:21; 3:10).      

The earth is estimated to be 3 ½ billion years old.  It is not known definitely when life appeared on the earth, but there is evidence of its existence at a very early period.  In the beginning was God, sitting in space, in a mass universe of darkness, no moon or sun, galaxies or an earth.  Then Yahweh (God) started His creation by bringing in His first creature: a spiritual being: His firstborn, His Son, Jesus Christ, (Psalm 89:27).  “Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee,”(Psalm 2:7).  “Who is the image of the invisible God; the first born (created) of every creature.  For by Him were all things created, that in heaven, and that are on the earth, visible and invisible,” (Colossians 1:15-16).

God created messengers, angels, as to the nature of angels in the limited sense; they are “spirits,” (Hebrews 1:7,14), of wind like velocity, subtle nature, capable of close communion with God; shares in His truth, purity, and love, since they ever behold His face, (Matthew 18:10).  Lucifer was the second creature created.  “He was perfect in all thy ways,” (Ezekiel 28:15), he was the bright and morning star, his brightness was as the sun, which lit up the universe when he became caretaker of the earth.  After Lucifer was created, millions upon millions of other angels were created by Jesus Christ to worship and serve the living God.  Why were Lucifer and the other angels created?  God is love, (1 John 4:8) and God is Holy, (Isaiah 6:3), because love is His predominated characteristic.
