I was seeking an additional explanation from the Bible since the book included much too much information about how devils function. So far, my knowledge of the subject has been confined to what I've seen in movies.

Mostly movies, tv-series, and books have helped me understand and picture demons. I am hoping to read the Book of Revelations since it seems to have an accurate outlook of demons.

My prior understanding of the book of Revelations in conjunction with the authors' perspective furthered my understanding of the nature of demons. Although I had basic knowledge about demons, I did not pay much attention to demons before reading the book. However, this book has piqued my curiosity, and I have started researching them.

The book of revelations in the bible is also a book that talks about demons. It helped me in flowing well, and I could find relativity between the description. However, I think It would be useful for some readers.
God is a Poet and he taught me how to hold my pen.

Personally, I already had an idea of what demons would be like. Revelations may help some people understand them better but I don't think that anyone can fully comprehend what demons are like.

Yes, I agree! The Bible helps me to understand the demons better. I also learn from other books (particularly illustrated encyclopedia) that is specifically dedicated in demonology to have better understanding about demons

I've been reading the Revelations since I was a child; they were read to me before I could read them for myself, and they're VERY difficult to comprehend. I really believe that no normal person can comprehend demons and what they symbolise. Even though demons and what they do are extremely real, I believe that comprehending them is beyond me. Therefore, no, the passages did not help in that regard, but I believe they added to the plot.

As much as I’ve read the bible, I’ve never tried to understand the ways of the devil. I gained more concept on them from books and this book had also helped my understanding of them.

My knowledge of the Bible gave me an insight into how demons operate. I was able to flow through while reading the book.

The Bible as a book is quite silent on the revelation of what or who demons are. But if we are to find a trace of what demons are by Lucifer's character, then we can find a perfect revelation.

Revelation from the bible helps me understand demons, and without my knowledge of that book of the bible, I would not have any knowledge about Lucifer and his demons.

Yes, only Bible has impacted my understanding of demons. I don't think that this book or any other fiction has the correct understanding of who they are and how they operate. So, it is better to stay close to the Bible to know about demons rather than believing fictions.

Yes. It was helpful as some of the description and other things about the demon are in the Bible, and I've read about them. It even made the book relatable.

I am quite familiar with the Bible, but the revelations in the book about the Bible opened my understanding about certain things i wasnt quite knowledgeable about. For example about the demons. Though this revelations are quite debatable, so I will on take them in only with a pinch of salt.

To me, the book gave satisfying details about demons. But I know the Bible will reveal more details about demons. Therefore, I think I will need to study my Bible more to get those details.
