    Okay, what is the difference between satan and his demons, like why they are commanded by him? Are they originally angels like him? Like why demons want to possess humans while angels don't?

    Yes, all demons are originally angels that have fallen just like Satan once did. Satan was the first of these fallen angels, and likely headed the first rebellion in Heaven, causing him to be the leader. He is called the "Father" of lies for a reason. He was the first one to deceive Adam. While there isn't direct scriptural passages for why angels don't possess people, I think we can safely guess that it's because demons do it for ill intent, angels don't wish us ill intent. Christians specifically are filled with the Holy Spirit, and CANT be possessed by anything else. Ultimately, we are designed to be free willed beings (under God's sovereignty of course), and demons go against the created order, while angels are abiding by God's rule and not doing that. Paul has said, however, to keep in mind that angels can take on physical form, and so to be hospitable to guests essentially. Hope that helps a little, if you want scriptural passages, I can provide that as well :)

    Satan may have the power to bring down fire from heaven, but not without God's permission, and only if the outcome is the glorification of God.

    Just consider the power of different angels throughout the Bible. Such as in Genesis or Exodus or Job or Ezekiel or Daniel or Revelation. Yet Satan was once the greatest of these angels or at least one of the greatest, wasn't he? His power is indeed most terrible. Leviathan - if Leviathan is taken to be an elemental power like Satan (cf. Eric Ortlund's commentary on Job) - could fit into the Cthulhu mythos in terms of the dread one might feel. Yet to God Satan is merely a mad little dog on a leash. Fear God instead, for if you're on God's side, none can harm you, not even fallen angels: For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    Job shows God is all powerful and this Satan has to obey. Satan was ordered to do what he pleases to Job but dont take his life! Satan did what God told him. The only enemy we have is ourselves!

    @@CaelinDarkGrace Matthew 5:39 says "an evil person" which refers to someone who's actions or thoughts are under the influence of evil. When it talks of "the evil one" in 1 John 5:19 it points to Satan who is the source of all evil. In a similar sense as Jesus is "the Son of Man'.
