In
Abrahamic religions, fallen angels are angels who were expelled from
heaven. The literal term "fallen angel" appears neither in the Bible nor
in other Abrahamic scriptures, but is used to describe angels who were
cast out of heaven or angels who sinned. Such angels often tempt humans
to sin.
Christian doctrine states that the sins of fallen angels
start before the beginning of human history. Accordingly, fallen angels
became identified with angels who were led by Satan in rebellion against
God and equated with demons. However, during the late Second Temple
period, demons were not thought of as the fallen angels themselves, but
as the surviving souls of their monstrous offspring. According to this
interpretation, fallen angels have intercourse with human women, giving
existence to the Biblical giants. To purge the world of these creatures,
God sends the Great Deluge and their bodies are destroyed. However,
their spiritual parts survive, henceforth roaming the earth as demons.
