Increased Demonic activity in last days?

[Praxeas]

Does the bible predict increased demonic activity in the end times?

I'm not sure. There is definitely increased demonic activity though, just not sure it has anything to do with the end times.

[shazeep]

define 'end times' or 'last days.' Christ was also current with these

The prediction seems to be that "iniquity will wax worse and worse" until the love of many grows cold.

The question is, in what way, if any, are demons involved?

Aren't demons outnumbered by angels of God?
Shouldn't there be increased angelic activity instead?

Good post. While I don't question the frantic activities of fallen angels in these last days, people are doing a pretty good job at promoting and committing sin on their own. I think our ungodly use of media and communication devices has made the devils job a whole lot easier.

Can't say I know it by title and my iPhone won't play it for some reason. Says I need a PC to play the video. I'm not missing out, am I ? Ha ha... Dealing with the subject at hand, I've seen demonic influence and experienced demonstration first hand. I've been very familiar with this stuff since my youth, however, the devil gets way too much credit. I'm more concerned with the actions of people than I am any devil. Didn't NXS have a song about this back in the 80s?

Missing something? That's a matter of taste. But you nearly quoted a lyric word for word.

As far as INXS, they had a song called "Devil Inside" from their album Kick.

On a more serious note, I do not think that there is an ever increasing quantity of demons. Their number, I believe, is finite and settled. I don't suppose that more and more upright, holy angels, are still falling and becoming evil spirits, or that God is creating more and more devils every day.

But the culmination of the age leads us to the Son of Perdition/Man of Lawlessness.

There is a certain "wisdom", so-called that is earthly, even devilish. The more humanity embraces this "wisdom", the more enthralled to devils humanity will become.

There is nothing new under the sun, but there is also something to be said for Revelation 9, when the angel with the key of the abyss lets a marauding horde of demons loose upon the world, led by the Destroyer.

When that event takes place, I don't think we can justify any other conclusion but that there is, at that time, a definitive increase in demonic activity.

We so often say, all the Lord needs is a willing vessel. But that goes both ways. All Satan needs is a willing vessel, too. More and more people are becoming willing.
