I think the book explained the concepts of the demons. Wasn't exactly significant addition

I really don’t think that any rational person can get a real understanding of demons and what they represent. Even though demons and what they do are very real I think that understanding them is beyond me so, no, the excerpts didn’t really help in that way although I think that they added to the story.

Definitely agree that understanding demons I beyond me. I feel that many things are not in our grasp to understand as of yet due to the fact that we aren't ready to grasp the fullness of our world in all its aspects. Revelations in the Bible is one book that has so much going on in it. I think this book gives a little insight into demons, however, that's not its focus. It is a warning to those who read it of what is to become of this world, using literal as well as figurative language that not many will understand. However, the more I've read it and prayed for God's enlightenment of His word, the more my eyes are opened to His word and what He is conveying to us.

Yes, the Bible does. You know that Prince of Persia and Prince of Grecia stuff. It adds to the knowledge of their hierarchy, and power. The book of Daniel to be precise.

Revelations was particularly significant in my understanding of the demons. Out of curiosity, I do a lot studying of the Bible, and have read the book of revelations a couple of time, so yes, it was significant to me.

The novel definitely makes one ponder about the existence of demons in the light of biblical revelations. However, by going deeper into the interpretations and inner meaning of biblical teachings, we will understand that it does not provide great insights into the existence of demons in the real world and leaves it to the imagination of people.

No the Bible didn’t assist in my understanding of demons. I have my own experience with demons, however, the Bible did teach me how to handle attacks from demons. I’ve read Revelations, but could never understand much of it.

The book provides enough information about how demons operate and I think the bible excerpts played a part.

Revelation has always been hard to understand. So, it was not so for me. I only read the book as a novel. No comparism.

I already have ample knowledge from the Bible about demons, but the knowledge I have is not only from the Bible. The impact was not quite strong.

I do believe the bible does speak about demons. Demons are real and they do affect the activities of humans. It is for us to avoid their influence.

The author portrayed the characters in the demons in a way that the readers would understand. But, the knowledge of the bible gave me a fundamental and further understanding.

I've read a lot of books about revealing biblical depths, but this makes me understand demons better. Their activities are quite enthralling

I think an understanding of the Bible can impact your interpretation but isn’t necessarily completely needed for a reading of the text.

I have read through Revelations many times and it has not helped my complete understanding of demons. This book was very good and I got a lot from it, but not enough to fully understand it all. I do have a little better clarity now however. I’m glad for the writing of this book.

I got the understanding of demons from the Bible when reading revelations, Sunday School teachings, and a bit from novels. It's not much but it can suffice.
