3566 — Evil Angels and Their Sustenance
By Editor
You say in "Questions and Answers," page 204, that evil angels receive the current of life by secondary means, through man and animals. Will they receive it through animals during the one thousand years' desolation of the earth? If evil angels are flesh and blood, they differ from us. How can they go into animals when they assume the form of men? It would not take creative power to really change their forms. Can not these forms be so perfect as to defy detection by known scientific means? Are they not sometimes visible in the form of men among us? F. H. Just what food evil angels or demons feed upon to sustain life, of course we do not know. That lies beyond our mortal ken. We do not understand that these evil angels are flesh and blood as man is. They are substance, but they are spiritual substance. There are various kinds of substance of which we know nothing. It is said of God, "Who maketh His angels spirits, His ministers a flame of fire." We know that fire can enter into material substance, and still not be a part of that substance; and these evil angels may completely possess mankind, draw from them vitality upon which they themselves may feed. This, of course, is only conjecture.
