Easton's Bible Dictionary
The Greek form, rendered "devil" in the Authorized Version of the New Testament. Daemons are spoken of as spiritual beings (
Matthew 8:16;
10:1;
12:43-45) at enmity with God, and as having a certain power over man (
James 2:19;
Revelation 16:14). They recognize our Lord as the Son of God (
Matthew 8:20;
Luke 4:41). They belong to the number of those angels that "kept not their first estate," "unclean spirits," "fallen angels," the angels of the devil (
Matthew 25:41;
Revelation 12:7-9). They are the "principalities and powers" against which we must "wrestle" (
Ephesians 6:12).
