a) This was evidenced by the carved images at the apex of their temple shrine, representing the stars and constellations.
(i) Virtually every star and constellation was associated with pagan gods and goddesses taking the form of these demonic hosts!
(b) Thus we have the "mythological" creatures of old, such as Pegasus, and the centaurs of old!
(i) Were they fable or real?? As we look at these demons in the book of Revelation, we begin to believe that they were real!!
(ii) Genesis 6:1-4 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. 3 And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 4 There were giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. (NKJV)
(a) These scriptures strongly suggest that fallen angels (demons) came to earth and cohabited with women and produced giants called "Nephilim".
(b) Is it not also possible that some of these demons could not possess human bodies and did so with animals (like they did with the pigs in the gospels) resulting in the dragons, and centaurs, and Pegasus', and a host of other creatures our culture now calls mythological?
(c) As we take a look at these creatures, this possibility doesn't seem so far fetched!
