But do fallen angels just remain in that realm of fiction? Or is there something a little more real about these sinister beings? Michelle Belanger (2007).

Believers might be wary about the spiritual battle surrounding us, feeling helpless. But if we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is far more powerful than the forces of evil. Believers have the capability, through the name of Jesus, to cast out demons ( Acts 19:13-16). The motif of a heavenly being striving for the highest seat of heaven only to be cast down to the underworld has its origins in the motions of the planet Venus, known as the morning star.

Everyone knows what angels are — wings, halos, all kinds of bright light and grace. Fallen angels started out not-so-different at all, and there's a lesson to be learned there. The first — and often, the only — fallen angel most people think of is the Christian version of Lucifer, who took on God, fell from heaven, and went on to run a nightclub and consult with the LAPD. The Bible has quite a lot to say about angels in general. In fact, angels appear or are mentioned almost 300 times in the Bible, according to this article from Got Questions. Regarding angels who have not fallen from heaven, we can learn a few things about them in Scripture. a b c Manley, Johanna, ed. (1995). Isaiah through the Ages.

Steve Reich, "Drumming Part I" (1970-71) - Circle percussion (Michael De Roo, Luuk Kagtegaal, Gijsbert Zwart et Arthur Cune) He instead decided to develop the story further into its own feature film and borrowed elements of Chungking Express, such as themes, locations and methods of filming. Wanting to also try to differentiate it from Chungking and to try something new, Wong decided along with cinematographer Christopher Doyle to shoot mainly at night and using extreme wide-angle lenses, keeping the camera as close to the talents as possible to give a detached effect from the world around them. The brilliancy of the morning star, which eclipses all other stars, but is not seen during the night, may easily have given rise to a myth such as was told of Ethana and Zu: he was led by his pride to strive for the highest seat among the star-gods on the northern mountain of the gods [...] but was hurled down by the supreme ruler of the Babylonian Olympus.
