'A general life in demons as unsure booze or aspects of God was an original part of Israels worship which in later periods became separated into -? broad(a) spirits (angels) and evil spirits (demons). ” (Anchor rule book Dictionary, Demons, p. 1) As history went on, the stories about these ambivalent spirits were embellished and evolved into tales of angels and demons. The language used to limn the demons is incredibly poetic and uses references to natural phenomenon. This background raises the issue of how poetic references to natural phenomena should be interpreted-?as literal references to the physical phenomena, as poetic humiliations or personifications, or as references to actual demons or deities.
