THREE CLASSES

THREE CLASSES

“For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment.” 2 Pet. 2:4

The Universal Kingdom Always Exists Efficaciously Regardless of the attitudes of Its Subjects. Three general classes 

(1). Those who willingly perform His will.

(2) Those who unwillingly perform His will.

(3). Those who ignorantly perform His will. 1 John 3:4, 8 ASV with 2 Peter 2:4 - Satan and the Angels that Sinned

There are previous references in the Bible to the sin of Satan, but none to the “angels” that sinned, except in Gen. 6:1-4, where “the sons of God” took control of human women and their progeny. According to Jude 6, they “left their own habitation” in the heavens, seeking to corrupt all flesh on earth. For this crime, God “cast them down to hell” (Greek tartarus, the traditional prison of condemned angels, the lowest compartment of Hades), whence they will eventually be cast into “everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41).
