有些天使不守原位，离开本该居住的地方，就被上帝用永恒的锁链囚在黑暗里，直到执行判决的大日子。——犹6

圣经说，在挪亚洪水之前的一段日子，有些天使对地上的女子产生不寻常的兴趣。上帝这些在天上的儿子开始怀着不正当的念头，注视人间美貌的女子。圣经说：“凡他们选中的，他们都娶来做妻子。”这种结合完全违反自然。结果，他们生下一些混种的后代，就是巨人。（创6：2-4）就这样，这些天使不再服从耶和华，他们加入了撒但的阵营，一同反叛上帝。这些邪灵的下场跟魔鬼的下场一样，他们会遭受彻底的毁灭。（太25：41；启20：10）虽然如此，我们今天仍需要坚决抵抗魔鬼和邪灵。《守》07/3/15刊2篇4-6段
──────────────────────────────────
聖經裏对天使的描述不是很多，一些有关天使的记载不是他们正在忠心耿耿的为耶和华上帝服务传达信息就是按照上帝的旨意帮助地上的忠仆。例如天使加百利曾经向玛利亚报告好消息。以利亚先知被围困的时候他看到了亿万由天使组成的大军对抗攻击他的敌人。当耶路撒冷被围困的时候更是有一个天使一晚上就杀掉185000个亚述士兵才能退敌。当然也有不好的天使如撒旦之类。
天使和人一样拥有自由的意志，在不久的将来邪恶的天使必定和坏人一样被彻底毁灭。到时候，崇拜真神的人类就有永远的和平了。

Angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place [God] has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.—Jude 6.

The inspired Scriptures tell us that sometime before the great Flood of Noah’s day, certain angels began to take an unusual interest in the women on earth. For a wrong purpose, “the [heavenly] sons of the true God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking,” states the Bible, “and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose.” These unions were unnatural, and they produced hybrid offspring known as Nephilim. (Gen. 6:2-4) The spirit creatures who thus disobeyed God joined in Satan’s rebellion against Jehovah. The destiny of the wicked angels is the same as that of the Devil—eternal annihilation. (Matt. 25:41; Rev. 20:10) Therefore, we need to stand firm and resist them. w07 3/15 2:4-6
