How Many Demons Exist?

I was reading about Daniel's prayer taking three weeks to come to pass (Dan. 10) because Gabriel was opposed by the 'Prince of Persia'.

How many demons do you think exist? It is said that Legion amounted to 6000 evil spirits but I doubt that the Devil knows most of us in person.

I think that it is equal to the number of angels who rebelled against the Lord with Satan. I only know that it was 1/3 of the angels.

Daniel was before God sent His only begotten son ... if the Blood of Jesus doesn't work we are all in trouble in the lions den so to speak.

Demons are just disembodied spirits with legal problems on who they can hinder and of course they have a lawyer who accuses us before the throne of God both day and night.

Don't let the lions or the demons see your fear and you will win in the end.

Remember faith is on both sides, but ours comes from God and their faith comes from the father of lies.

haha, I was going to say 586.235449655

Either way, there are 2x as many angels. But if was a battle, we have the advantage.

This is the thing. In Daniel's day the population of the world had probably not exceeded half a billion people. At the height of the Roman Empire, its population was probably similar to that of the UK today.

I was wondering if mankind outnumbers demons. We know than angels outnumber them already.

Then of course, Jesus now has the keys of Death and Hell.

Yet with all these elements FOR us, Christians in general are still living the same demonically dominated lives as if they were still living as gentiles before Christ came.

Are those the children of the sons of God who mated with the daughters of men when they were commanded not to?

Yes.

Keep in mind that I could be wrong. I'm not dogmatic about it. I'll answer questions about it, but I won't be trying to prove my point or otherwise attempt to persuade others to agree with me. Because, like I said, I could be wrong.

Disembodied nephilim.

I tend to agree. If you're not familiar with Michael Heiser, he does some great work on this and other topics as well. I'd highly recommend him.

Although I'd probably say demon is like angel in that it is a rather generic term, rather than a specific type of being. I'd say there are many different types of beings on both sides, but we just tend to lump them together under those generic terms.

Seriously now:

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,

Angels are innumerable.

3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven diadems. 4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. 5 She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne, 6 and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, in which she is to be nourished for 1,260 days.
Satan Thrown Down to Earth
7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.
