Summary/Abstract: Based on a text from Isaiah, this study analyses two demonology views regarding the status of the peopleʹ s angels and of their leaders who will be punished in a historical moment chosen by YHWH. It is envisaged the vision of the Jewish demonology about the idolatry whose source is the Nephilim, a demon subjected to the evil angels. The Christianization of peoples will change the sacred geography and the holy angels replaced the evil angels.
