Satan— [G4567] the accuser, the devil (doer of evil).

Luke 10:18-20

“And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.”

Jude, verse 6

“And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation— he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness— unto the judgment of the great day.”

Fallen angels— who they are:

Fallen angels: These are angels who chose to rebel against God's authority. They were discontent with God's placement: they were not content with their God-given positions and sought greater power or dominion. 

"First estate" or domain: definition: area of territory owned or controlled by a ruler or government.

The term "first estate" refers to their original state, place, or domain of responsibility in the spiritual realm, and the "habitation" to the dwelling place they left. 

Their sin: Rebellion against God: A primary sin was their rebellion and departure from their designated spiritual realm. 

Seduction of humanity: a link to the events in Genesis 6, where the "sons of God" left their first estate to cohabitate with the daughters of men [making immoral giants— not of first estate under God, and in affiliation with his kingdom]. 

Their judgment: Everlasting chains and darkness: other fallen entities became active demons— these angels are held in a unique state of perpetual confinement, awaiting a final judgment. 

A warning to humans: Jude uses their unique and severe judgment to warn Christians that God's justice is sure— even for those who once held a high spiritual position.

2 Peter 2

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3-8 

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not. 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; and spared not the old world— but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes —and condemned them with an overthrow— making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; and (only) delivered— just— Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing (all he was immersed in) —vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds:)

9-10 

The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations— and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly— those who walk after the flesh— in the lust of uncleanness— and despise government. Presumptuous are they— selfwilled— they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities [G1391: glory, honor, and dignity].

11

Whereas angels [G32: those who bring tidings, a messenger, by implication— a pastor], which are greater in power and might (as they are in pure spirit form and not fallenness), do not bring a railing [G989:scurrilous: scandal to damage their reputation, calumnious: slanderous, impious— irreverent] accusation [G2920: tribunal of justice of divine law judgment] against them— before the Lord.

12-14 

But these— as natural brute beasts— who are made to be taken and destroyed— speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness [G93: injustice (opposite of God’s kingdom way), the act of moral wrongfulness— character, life, and actions of iniquity] as they that count it pleasure to riot [G5172: From θρύπτω thruptō̄ (to break up or figuratively enfeeble) especially the mind and body by indulgence): effeminacy —that is-– luxury or debauchery: delicately riot.] in the day time [the gentle day and period/age]. Spots they are and blemishes— sporting themselves with [1792: reveling in] their own deceivings [G539: delusion] while they feast with you [G4910: entertain in company, reveling with you]; having eyes [G3788: visions of envy and jealousy] full of adultery [G3428: being an adulteress (whore of Babylon)], and that cannot cease from [G180: unrestraining from] sin; beguiling [G1185: entrapping and deluding through allure] unstable [G793: unfixed and vacillating] souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed [G2671: imprecation and execration: invoking misfortune— with a formal denunciation— that brings harm to] children:

15-16 

(these) Who have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray— following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor— who loved the wages [G3408: the rewards] of unrighteousness [G93: injustice (opposite of God’s kingdom way), the act of moral wrongfulness— character, life, and actions of iniquity]; but was rebuked for his iniquity [G3892: transgressions]: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness [G3913: insane foolhardiness] of the prophet.

17 

These are wells without water (the living water— Spirit and conduct— of God), clouds (vessels that hold) that are carried with a tempest [G1978: a whirlwind— which is a spirit movement]; to whom the mist [G2217: gloominess and cloud (holding)] of darkness [G4655: shady obscurity (from all that is God)] —is reserved [G5083: watched, guarded, prevent from escaping, like a military fortress, detained and maintained— and kept unmarried] forever [G165: perpetually].

18-19 

For when they speak great swelling words of vanity— they allure [G1185: entrapping and deluding through seduction] —through the lusts of the flesh: wantonness; but those that were clean —escaped from them who live in error [G4106: fraudulent, straying (from God and his kingdom way/culture/character, deceived and deluded]. While they promise them liberty [G1657: freedom from licentiousness— promiscuity (freed from godliness)] —they themselves are the servants [G1401: enslaved and and subjected, in subservient obedience] of corruption [G5356: decay and ruin, perishing (from God and godliness)]: for of whom [G3739: that which] a man is overcome [G2274: made worse and rated lower— inferior] —of the same is he brought in bondage [G1402: enslaved, under, and as a servant to].

20 

For if after they have escaped the pollutions [G3393: foulness] of the world— through the knowledge [G1922: full discerned recognition and acknowledgment] of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ— they are again entangled [G1707: entwined (joined) and involved] therein— and overcome [G2274: made worse and rated lower— inferior]; then the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

21 

For it would have been better for them not to have known the way [G3598: road, route, mode, journey, or highway] of righteousness [G1343: equity of character and actions— specifically of Christian justification— which is the action of showing something to be right or reasonable] —than, after they have known it— to turn [G1994: revert back, draw back, lack sustained conversion] from the holy [G40: sacred —physically pure morally blameless or religious ceremonially consecrated] commandment [G1785: injunction (court ordered) and prescription (legal specification)] delivered unto them.

22 

But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb— The dog is returned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed— to her wallowing [G2946: filth] in the mire [G1004: mud].”
