My rambling, semi-coherent (at least I hope it's that close to coherent) take on it.
Keep in mind, grain o' salt. I'm not a bible studier, nor a deep researcher. My efforts in the GW has been as a gleaner of other people's research and a replant farmer (with credits of course).
So, here goes:
This goes back to the serpent's luring of Eve and then Adam into betraying the Lord our God. The trick was "you can be just as powerful" and appeal to ego.
This is part of the fallen watchers. Those angles sent to earth by the Lord to watch over creation.
They decided to do it their way and try to take over. They failed in the take over, got Sheol'd (except a few of the weaker ones allowed to roam as spirits to continue to tempt man). The tempting is because it's necessary to sort the wheat from the chaff. Our existence is a threshing floor. Good from bad. Those who love the Lord our God and those who give themselves up to the whisperings and urgings of the fallen ones.
That is part of the setup for the end times. When all is said and done, those people that make the grade will stand in judgement over ALL the angles, the fallen and obedient alike. (That's the purpose of judge not least ye be judged. If you're gonna be harsh on the obedient, then expect harsh back).
We were given dominion over the earth for a reason and purpose. We're to be the wardens and gate keepers over those who failed to make the cut. Sheol was made by the Lord our God for that purpose.
And this is why the fallen ones are trying to hard to mutate us away from "the image of the lord" so that we can be tricked into giving away that dominion. That wont save them, but it'll buy them time and time is all they have left. Just like our own fallen (the DS and it's minions), the war is already over and the evil has lost. They know it.
