I think it was from The Lanterne of Light which is from the 1400s. Idea was that 8 of them - one holds the door open and then the group comes in w each demon specializing in a objective using one of the 7 deadly sins, each, as a bulkhead.
Honestly Angelology & Demonology are some interesting subjects. Even just focusing on their presence in The Bible alone - is telling.
Example: Jesus did not tiptoe around this. He didn’t pretend it wasn’t real. He faced demons head on. He went after them fervently and they were absolutely terrified of him. Multiple times he faced them.
Knowing that negative thoughts are not divine in nature helps me to shake them.
According to all of this it’s more than likely when you suddenly have a huge swarm of foul mood / negative thoughts / etc - it’s a spiritual attack. They also easily speak to you in your head, as you, and inject negative images and thoughts to try and sway you.
Helps me wear the armor if I can recognize the foe.
Indeed. I first realized this "injection" of thoughts when I was in my early 20's. I'd have grotesque images and ideas come from out of no where a lot. Suicide, murder, bloody thoughts.... I'd be crossing the street and almost always notice that, "if I'd been (example) 3 seconds slower, I'd be dead" or etc. I would always think about how these kinds of thoughts are not just natural. I've been pursued by them my whole life.... many of us have. Maybe all of us have.
Oh and here is a link I found of Lanterne of Light mentioned above, with foot notes. For anyone interested.
exactly^ knowing that negative thoughts were not my own helped immensely. now I can see 'them' for the spooks that they are.
I used to be quite interested in reading about astrology, seances, etc.. think it brought on some type of curse, because I couldn't see the light like I can now. SO clear and obvious one you understand it's all spiritual- Good/Evil
That looks like really interesting stuff, and I plan to read about it some time.
I would just like to take a moment and warn you however, and the warning is simple: Always check what you read with the bible. Sometimes that stuff can go off the rails, and the bible is the rails that we stick to for the Truth.
Interesting, can you share some reading about they move in "squads of 8".
