To answer your question one must address the "fallen angels" concept first:
2 Peter 2:4
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;  Jude 1:6  And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Above is what happened to the "fallen angels," per God to Dr. Richard Eby during his life after death experience while he was still in Heaven, as told about in his book "Didn't You Read My Book?"  The destruction of God's creation by Satan and his fallen angels occurred after Genesis 1:1; before Genesis 1:2.  In other words, God created everything and then it says the Earth was without form and void.  Think about it, if God had just created everything, the Earth wouldn't be without form and void.  Something happened to destroy it.  It was Satan and the fallen angels being cast down to Earth.  They went about destroying everything in a "hissy fit," per God.
2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 1:6 tells us that the fallen angels" are not around today, nor were they around at the time of Genesis 6:4, so often quoted and misunderstood by today's ministers and eschatologists.  God cast the fallen angels down to hell, but let Satan remain loose as God works out His plan for our redemption.  Therefore, what's left are other entities of Satan that aren't as powerful; i.e., demons and their heirarchies.  Yes, demons can inspire prophets and their prophecies:  
1 John 4:1:  "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."
"Time" was factored in for Earth's inhabitants by God but it is not universal.  Beings from other worlds are not locked into time as we know it.  They don't operate by our understanding of time as their worlds circle around suns at different rates than ours do. Time as we know it is just for earthlings.  And God is past, present and future all wrapped up into one.  He exists outside of time.
Prophecies through demons more often than not fail the accuracy test.  That's one way we can know the prophecy wasn't of God.  The Bible also says that if a prophet's prophecy doesn't occur it is because God deceived the prophet:
Ezekiel 14:9:  And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of My people Israel.
So my point is that God is in control of everything, though He factors in man's will,  because He gave us free will, yet He alone determines the outcome.  That's why He can state unequivocally that His "plans for us are good and not evil to bring us to an expected end" (Jeremiah 29:11).  He couldn't bring us to an "expected end" if He wasn't in control.  That means He is in control of what demons try to do as well.  So we mustn't view demons as more powerful than they are.  They can't destroy the world like the fallen angels did who are confined to hell until Judgment Day.  God is over everyone and everything.
