Angels and Demons

by Rev. John D. Schuetze

Witness a conflict that's been part of the universe since creation and Satan's rebellion, and a victory God predicted in Eden. It's a classic battle of good versus evil, in which Jesus comes in humility but leaves in glory. As Christians we know that angels--good and evil--are real, not because of firsthand accounts but because God reveals that they are real in Scripture. Gain a knowledge of the occult, spiritism, demon possession, and Satanism, and see some of the games people play with the devil.
