SPIRITUAL REALM (Order of the Fallen) ~~RULED BY AZRAEL~~
Spiritual
Realm
The Order of the Fallen is an Order of Fallen Angels under the rule of Azrael the Angel of Death.
The angels
that rebelled and became demons did not lose their nature or their connatural
gifts. They cast away, by their sin, the grace in which they were created. They
did not cast away the beatific vision, for they never had it.
Now, if we
think of angelic orders as orders of angels in glory, then, of course, there
are no orders of bad angels. But if we consider angelic orders as order of
angelic nature simply, there are orders among the demons.
Certainly,
there is a precedence among bad angels; there is a subjection of some to
others. Demons of superior nature do not enlighten inferior demons;
enlightenment here could only mean the manifestation of truth with reference to
God, and the fallen angels have perversely and permanently turned away from
God.
But demons
can speak to one another, that is, they can make known their thoughts to one
another, for this ability belongs to the angelic nature which the demons
retain.
The nearer
creatures are to God the greater is their rule over other creatures. Therefore,
the good angels rule and control the demons.
