2. Who are Satan and his demons?

Some angels did not remain faithful to Jehovah. The first angel who rebelled is “the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth.” (Revelation 12:9) Satan wanted to rule over others, so he influenced the first humans and later even other angels to join his rebellion. Those rebellious angels are called demons. Jehovah had them expelled from heaven to the earth, and they will be destroyed.​—Read Revelation 12:9, 12.

3. How do Satan and the demons try to mislead us?

Satan and the demons mislead many people through demonism, or spiritism, which is the bad practice of trying to communicate with spirits. For example, some people consult astrologers, fortune-tellers, psychics, and witch doctors. Others seek forms of medical treatment that involve spiritism. People are also tricked into believing that they can speak to the dead. But Jehovah warns us: “Do not turn to the spirit mediums, and do not consult fortune-tellers.” (Leviticus 19:31) He gives us this warning to protect us from Satan and the demons. They are God’s enemies, and they want to harm us.
