How you have fallen from heaven 6 morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; twill sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself live the most High. But you are bought down to the grace, to the depths of the pit. Ezekiel 28:12-17 Son of man, take up a lament concerning the king of tyre and say to him: This is what the sovereign Lord says: You wee the medd of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz and emerald, chrysolite, onyx and jasper sapphire, turquoise and beryl. Your settings and mountings were made of gold; on the day you were created they were prepared. You were anointed as guardian cherub for so I ordained you. You were on the holy mount of God; you walked among the fiery stones. You wee blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you. Though your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, O guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendour. So I threw you to earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. 2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgement; if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people.

Matthew 12:43When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, I will return to the house I left. When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.
