Can you please pray for me? 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I didn’t ask to be born into this world . And yet here I am, suffering for as long as I can remember, misunderstood, mistreated or hated by almost everyone I’ve been given to be around. My childhood was miserable, without love, understanding or compassion. I was blamed for almost everything I did or said. I always thought that as an adult things would be different. But yet again I was wrong. I’m a stranger to everyone I know , even those who are the closest to me. I’m the misfit, the rejected, the evil one, yet I’ve never done anything wrong to anybody. I believe in GOD. I love JESUS. But the more I pray, the worst things get. I don’t know what to do. And now I want to get over with everything. I don’t belong to this world, this life or this place. I can’t do this anymore. I’m Lost...

What people fail to realize about this is this: pigs, the filthiest animals, would rather drown than be possessed by an unclean spirit, and yet we who are made in God's image, fearlessly welcome entry to places and things unclean spirits dwell. Its rather sad and pathetic on our behalf that a pig has more spiritual sense than us.

No...I think it's more of a failure of realization of your part. You're going under the assumption that the PIGS decided to do anything at all. Which is likely false. Look at how easily manipulated farm animals are when ordered by mere humans. Imagine something more powerful giving orders. Shocker. They'd do it. And that's assuming they have any control at all. The demons puppeteered the pigs bodies and drowned themselves within the pigs. They chose that.

U speak truth, but I'd like to point out some truth. Pigs commited suicide over having demons in them. Owners saw and said to Jesus leave: rather than repent. And lastly, what about the life and where did this guy go spread the gospel. Colleges limit historical Christianity to just Constantine Catholic to Protestant tree. What about the ppl who went out that weren't just of the 12.

A heard homily alluded the man's situation to family disputes ... and JESUS saw reconciliation and a loving family life the better way/ option. Re.. the pigs, was it just because they were nearby or as a habitation, or is there more to it, namely.... Not to cast your pearls after swine. Forbidden food (now known as diseased). Wallows in mud, esp soon after being cleansed. Point being, the demons are comfortable in/ with pigs, just as any sustainably Unrepentant sinner.

The bottom line, the absolute foundation of all God's interactions with humanity is this : WORSHIP ME OR I'LL BURN YOU ALIVE. Likewise in the book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar the Second decreed that when the music was played everyone must bow to the statue of him or be burned alive in a furnace. The Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach and Abedneggo refused according to the story but ironically the Babylonian king was demanding worship ( just like God ) and threatening to torture with fire ( just like God ) anyone who would not submit. Gee...how could you not love him ? 🤣

@@hellkat2285worship can also mean respect, give attention too, love, cherish and etc. God created you and this is how you behave. That’s like being born from your Father and your Dad tells you to respect him or you’ll be kicked out the house for your disrespect. God created you for a purpose because you’re not an accident and he created you to have a relationship with you. Think about it this way, you create a car and you want the car to drive and the car gets created and it’s like nah I’m not driving or listening to you. What?? Then what’s the point of the car? That’s it’s purpose. God has a purpose for you bro but not many find it or fulfill it. Don’t let that be you. God loves you dearly my friend. I hope you repent and allow Jesus into your heart and you can and will experience the depths of his everlasting love.

Dear Sister,the demons dont wanted to move into the Pigs,because they need a body to possess.. In a way, Jesus felt sorry for them... They pleaded not to have to drive into the abyss.... Not because they "need" Someone to possess.. Jesus asked him: “What is your name?” He said: “Legion,” because many demons had entered into him. 31 And they kept entreating him not to order them to go away into the abyss. 32 Now a herd of a considerable number of swine was feeding there on the mountain; so they entreated him to permit them to enter into those. And he gave them permission. Its interesting,we are all brothers,but we all cant see everything,if we read the same verse... But we Can Trust Fully the Word of God,forever... God bless you Brothers..

We are constantly fighting against the "powers" of deception and the "principalities" of the air (Ephesians 6,12)... the powers try to seduce us by whispering complements and praises in our ears, filling our minds with prideful thoughts, while the lower-ranked principalities who merely cause havoc hurl hateful insults at us as they fly past overhead. Everyone hears these, and assumes they are just their own thoughts in their own head, their inner monologue, but St John of the Ladder and many other Desert Ascetics have shown the opposite is the truth.

I’ve been born again as of Nov. 2018. I always believed in God and became a lukewarm Christian over time. I did shrooms, drank, but mostly smoked pot everyday. I look back and can’t believe how patient Jesus has been waiting for me (I’m 40). I have been saved by an angel or Jesus (not sure at the time) at least twice, but possibly 3 times. A voice told me to let off the gas pedal when I was going through an intersection, as soon as I did, a truck blew a stop sign that would have killed me. I also fell asleep at the wheel another time and WOKE up while driving sitting upright and very much positioned like a robot. I ended up on the other side of town somehow! Fell into a pool’s deep end as a child, somehow my mother knew to check on me and pulled me out. I had another experience where I was praying about a relative that was brutally murdered and burned alive years prior. I was HIT like a sledgehammer with unexplainable peace and joy. Instantly tears poured out of my eyes and I had the breath sucked out of me, totally winded. It was like I was experiencing the joy of heaven but my human body could not handle it! I also experienced an interaction with several demons in the basement of a psychic lady’s house who summoned them and spoke to them nightly. The fear and anger I felt as their eyes pierced my soul was like nothing of this earth......,over and over and over Jesus was calling me!!! I was too much of a fool to notice, even though I believed in Him! In November of 2018, after a minor argument with my fiancée, I heard a demon’s voice talk to me telepathically in my mind- “I hate you, I’ll kill you and tear your family apart.” With the most conviction in my soul I commanded that thing to leave my house in the name of Jesus Christ. Every room in the house I yelled at it. I felt our Lord blast through my house and beat those things down! Whoosh gone! I prayed and thanked him and repented for allowing them to get close to me. He talked to me telepathically asking me questions and made me feel the guilt of my sins. Lots of information as a sort of psychic download into my heart and mind simultaneously. Question 1: “After all I’ve done for you, what have you done for Me, and others?” Question 2: “Am I NOT enough for you?” Then, the weight of my sins lifted, it was incredible. Since that moment, I’ve had no desire to drink, smoke, blaspheme, masterbate, be angry, stressed out or sin at all. Wanting to share love with no other possible explanation. I notice the tiniest signs he puts in my path....I see them right away and chuckle, seeing He really does work in mysterious ways. I fully understand how to have a relationship with him and not need to physically see or hear our relationship. He is incredible people! Let him into your heart! I had felt in my soul the the extremes of joy and sorrow through just some of my life experiences..... Feeling the presence of God and Satan deep inside through strange encounters. For that, I am blessed to KNOW Christianity is the truth, yet I STILL tried to not fully commit. He wants us all to repent and accept Him. He actually told me this! Don’t think you can sin all your life and God will be OK with it. He really will reward you if you follow with all your heart!!

I was making a joke about how a command might call into question a more polite way of saying it, which would be silly in this case. See, if I may speak about the Theory of Comedy, it's the incongruity of the all-powerful Jesus being polite with demons that makes it funny. Of course, once I have to explain it, it's no longer funny. Do you think God or Jesus is/was so fragile he cannot take a joke?

There are videos and images taken of the rest of the evidence too if you would like to look into this (Please avoid videos with drum music). Would you like to find out how the GODHEAD had created the Earth? Please check out Dr Carl Baugh's Creation in Symphony (Ex-Evolutionist) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ea6VrKtqzrutYoU.html (Please ignore/skip drums in music and the Trinity doctrine shared as it is unbiblical - 1 Being playing 3 parts is not Biblical; however, the GODHEAD is Biblical of 3 Separate BEINGS playing their OWN parts. Remember CHRIST's baptism? THE FATHER was in heaven, the HOLY SPIRIT in the air in the form of a DOVE; and the LORD JESUS was on earth as per Matthew 3:16 "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water..the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:" 17 "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.")

@Creeping Deth. Hi there, The doctrine of 1 Being playing 3 parts (the Trinity doctrine) is unbiblical. 1 John 5:7 "there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." This verse is one that I have come across that is used to back up the Trinity Doctrine just because it states 'they are one'. Oneness here means in agreement and not that it is 1 Being playing 3 parts, but rather 3 Beings playing their parts (3 GODS). Notice in the same verse it states these (3). Notice a conversation between the GODHEAD as per Genesis 1:26 King James Version 26 "..Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..." US is plural and not singular, and this was a conversation between them. Notice the same oness used to describe a married man and woman (who clearly are not 1 being, but 2 in agreement) Mark 10:7-8 “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; (8) And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh." Notice also the oneness or agreement as per John 17:21 "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us..." Moreover, the GODHEAD is in the Bible as per Acts 17:29 "..we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device." Romans 1:20 "..and Godhead..." Colossians 2:9 "..all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" GOD Bless :) Think about it, why would the Being pray to Himself

God is great, God is merciful, God is compassionate, God is loving, God is all knowing, and (not to mention) countless other qualities. If you were God; all knowing, would you subject your children to an excessive torment or abuse or would you take them before it gets worse? What if death(I have experienced death more than I care to relay and I can tell you for certain that it is not unpleasant, maybe for a moment, but it is then overwhelmed by the complete and unconditional love of the one infinite creator) was the most Pleasant thing you could imagine? All this I say is just to bring a different perspective on what God really is, everything that I can explain will never do justice to the real and true nature of God which is unconditional love in its greatest form and more. I don't need to give Credence or even explanation to what you have displayed as your belief system but I would like to relate to those who are willing and wish to know the truth that is this which is presented to you in the form of mere human words; God is everywhere; in everything, in every existential and minut form which speaks to you and only you in every way. That voice in your head that tells you to go for something or not, that is God, that is the existential existence of the one infinite creator that is prominent throughout your life, always.

sherwood smallidge/ you obviously have never read the bible for any length of time, if you had you’d know that He doesn’t save us FROM the world of which He said we WOULD have troubles, He said He would save us IN IT. It’s the hardships that create a useful vessel to do His work, giving comfort to those in trouble with the comfort He gave to us in our troubles. Try maturing enough to NOT think it’s all about your own selfish, self-centred happiness but the higher purpose of showing His compassion and care in the midst of the chaos.

This was a town on the sea of Galilee. Jesus never spoke to anyone other than Jews and he never left the area around the Sea of Galilee. It wasn’t until after his death that Saul, a gentile, was given the Holy Spirit by the angel who stoped him on the road. He was told then to take the gospel to the gentiles. So these herders and the towns people were Jews. It was not against the law of the Jews to raise pigs and sell them to the gentiles. This was by all the evidence the towns industry. They were pig farmers and legion was a demon that was working with them in their business. The man or men they were possessing we’re terrifying anyone who ventured near the towns herd of pigs and so we can deduce that the town liked the situation as it stood. Now when Jesus saw what was happening he was most likely aware of the whole situation. When Legion came out of the man/men (the scary protector of the herd and toy of the demon) and went into the pigs and stampeded them into the sea off the cliff.... it was the demons revenge on Jesus...knowing the towns people would hate Jesus for causing the demon to come out of the man and destroying their industry along with all their product. The pigs all drowned in the sea of Galilee but legion would not die until it was his time at the end of the last days. Legion would simply go away looking for another Host. The possessed man/men would most likely be the only one(s) to appreciate what Jesus did for them. Thus the angry attitude of the town that forced Jesus to leave or else.

When I was a youngling in college and high school, I was sucked into the cult of Atheism, which is essentially an anti-God cult. They pretend as though they don't believe in any gods, but spend 90% of their time bashing our Christian God, Jesus, etc. In those times, I felt no joy or inspiration. I was lost to Earthly desires and cravings of the flesh. My spirit, was dying and on life support. Then, a good Christian friend of mine made an effort. He convinced me to go to church with him. A couple of times. And although I didn't re-awaken yet, I felt the Holy Spirit in that church. And it started my skepticism of atheism. The profound feeling that overwhelms your body, and makes you literally feel the inspiration and love of Christ. For a long time afterwards, I was confused, and coping with that realization. I created a fantasy that God exists, but that He is probably nothing like we expect based on Christianity or any other interpretation. I thought that God was more of an observer with a passive role. About a year ago, I was finally awakened. I started really looking into God. Watching videos from pastors, and reading Bible passages, and I realized the profound truth of the Bible. It's wisdom and ability to convey the state of mind of societies, as well as the message of what it takes to be truly happy are the only path that has worked to ease the hardships of my life, and bring back my spirit. Anyone professing to be happy without God, to me, is a liar. I've lived that life, and I've seen people living those lives, and no matter how much they lie and profess that they are happy, content, and satisfied, I know they lie. There is a fear in them, a fear of death. A fear of losing the material. A fear of losing the earthly and the flesh. Tell me then, how can one be happy or have purpose when one fears the loss of earthly things? When one values their flesh and desires over their values and salvation?

On top of everything mentioned in this video: The demons chose the pigs because they were intent on tormenting the people in that area. The demons caused the herd of pigs to be destroyed as a last ditch effort to bring harm to the people in that area. It was allowed because pigs are unclean animals, and from the perspective of Torah, which Jesus completely observed, they weren’t good for the people because it made them unclean, which separated them from God. The people begged Him to depart from them because they attributed what they perceived as their loss to the wrong source. They neglected to see the multiple blessings bestowed, and ultimately rejected the salvation that stood before them. This is a great lesson on how demons work. Even when they’re cast out, they will seek to destroy and deceive as they depart, often taking things that seem to be valuable with them as they go. The trial we face is whether or not we allow that which is lost to separate us from the source of our salvation, or do we chose to cling to Him despite our perceived loss.

As a newly, very young married man, I learned the Power of God's Word and this very passage when our family was demonically attacked one night. Earlier that day, without my knowledge, my wife was prepared to give her life to Christ but didn't. Later that night after we had gone to bed there was an evil, cold presence that entered our room that was not of this world. I began to read this very passage and the presence left. As soon as I closed the Bible and set it on the nightstand, the presence was back with even more displays. This time, we went to Romans 10 and after my wife professed her Faith in Christ, it left for good. The Word became Flesh, The Word is Alive, The Word is Powerful and we have a Saviour Who has Overcome everything that was against us! Amen

That said, my spouse is turning to Him more and more.

@@gailfagan7579 Amen. As Paul said: For me to live is Christ but to die is gain. Phillipeans 1 I have been studying the whole Evolutionary Theory which l just assumed must be true as they teach it in our universities and schools but came to the reasonable conclusion that it is ALL a lie, every single bit of it just a lie. There is NO scientific evidence whatsoever. Jesus told the Pharisees that their father is the devil, the father of lies. Think how many Professions have based their whole profession on the assumption of the Evolution Theory like the medical profession who tells us erroneously that your Appendix and Tonsils are vestigial organs that they lost it's function millions of years ago. There is absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever to prove this, it's just lies. These organs are not vestigial or of no use, they are indeed of huge importance to your health and well being to fight illnesses and deseases, yet Doctors just take it out left right and centre. Ask anyone who has Arthritis whether he had his tonsils removed. Ask anyone who has cancer whether his appendix has been removed. Even in Psychology we are taught that many mental illnesses are as a result of millions of years of Evolution. I wonder whether many of our mental illnesses are not just as a result of demon oppression or possession and that good old prayer will cure or heal people of their mental illnesses instead of the drugs we prescribe. Funny how many Christians have fallen for the covid scam. Jesus said, I am the Light of the world, he who walks in my Light will never walk in darkness. He is the Good Shepherd and that His sheep hears his voice and that none shall EVER pluck us out of his hand. Hang in there Brother, it is worth it all a million times over.👊👌👍

Thank you Pastor for the response. I believe the pigs were the only animals /beings closest to them at the moment and they were many. If there were animals apart from pigs they would have requested to enter. Demons need a host to function on earth so no matter the host whether it is a human being or any other animal they would gladly possess it. I think the right question ought to have been "why did Jesus allow the demons to enter the pigs?". Because it was unlawful for Jews to rear pigs.

They repented with water and needed a body . So they run in the sea with a body of animals . They were forgiven , just like his sinfull children were forgiven if they believe who God sends as his right hand. They ask why he came before the time . It was to forgive all who believed , dead ore alive till the generation of Jesus. This is for the first death of water and repentance, known as Noah's flood. Nothing to do with the second death Genesis 6:5-7, 12-13 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Revelation 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Two deaths , two baptisms. The baptism of John with water and repentance The baptism of Jesus Christ with the Holy Ghost and fire

The deeper lesson here is what sin can do to the sinner. The demons sinned (probably soon after their creation) in a manner with a certain kind of terrible finality, separating themselves forever from God. As a result, not even the loving Jesus had the slightest pity for them. People should take this lesson to heart. Sin separates us from God. Who knows when that separation may become permanent? As Jesus said to a man whom He had healed, "...sin no more, lest something worse befall you." We must each of us stop knowingly committing sin, and instead work out our salvation in fear and trembling as St. Paul instructs us to do. When we each become perfect, perfect love will cast out fear. In the meantime, we should greatly fear to sin.

It's not true that Jesus had no pity or simpathy for Lucifer & his followers, as the heavens wept over the angels who fell & were cast into hell for sin & pride. It's because there is no place in any of the heavens for unrepentant sinners to be able to mingle with the saints. A sinner could not stand in the presence of a holy God & not feel Hot.🔥🧯

Thank you! This very question has bewildered me also for a long time. It had seemed unusually cruel to me that the pigs - a swine herds living were wiped out, and I wondered if all the pig bodies in the water rotted and contaminated it too. Were fishermen then affected by fishing up dead pigs? Did they wash up on shore? It makes more sense when framed in the "gentiles, make a choice" theory.

I've just been to visit an old congregation, they are all bejewelled and joined (loving family/spouses) I've been through the fire most of my life, not least these past few years. They rejoiced at seeing me, amazed I'm working and not on the floor, BUT the moment I speak Jesus and the signs of the times being all around us, the moment I quoted Titus 2:13 they couldn't get away from me fast enough... My heart cries, O God awaken those whom have known Your Name. I am so sad. I have righteous anger.

It was only recently-a few months ago, when I read the last chapter of Isaiah-that the seriousness of God's ban on the consumption of "unclean" animals (animals that were not created for, and are unfit for, human consumption) really hit me, like a ton of bricks, so-to-speak! The setting of that chapter of Isaiah is during Jesus' millennial rein, here on earth, after the Tribulation. Once I fully understood what Jesus is saying and doing in that chapter, well, I gave up eating bacon and ham... and shellfish... and catfish... and... well, you get the idea. My point is that having read Isaiah 66, I now understand why Jesus destroyed the pigs! That question has always been in the back of my mind. I get it now!

This is not a correct answer but a man speculating. The Scriptures teach us the correct answers it goes back to the war in heaven. And to the very reason we have all been sent to Earth in the first place. And that is to come to Earth to obtain a body to be tested. To have our memories of heaven erased and in this life be tested to see wether we will chose to serve God or to refuse God and serve Satan. In the war in heaven two plans were presented the first being the Son of God's plan. Which included free agency, and coming to Earth to be tested to see if we would choose to serve God and some of us because of free agency would be lost. And not be able to return to the presence of our Father in Heaven. Now our Heavenly Father loved us and would not let us come down here to wander aimlessly. So someone would need to be sent to set the perfect example and the Son of God volunteered that he would come down and be the perfect example and if necessary he would even die for us. And in doing all of this he would give all of the glory to the Father. Wow if that does not sound familiar. And just a small note you can't return to somewhere you have never been. Just something to help you to understand that everyone who has ever been born on earth has come from our Heavenly Father's presence. The second plan presented was Lucifer's plan and that was to take away your free agency and let you be born to earth life to obtain a body of flesh and bone and be forced to experience what was required in life to become like our Father in Heaven and no one would be lost! And Lucifer said and the glory will be mine. Taking all glory from the Father of Heaven unto himself. Now this is what the war in heaven was all about. And our Father in Heaven chose the first and Lucifer and all of those who followed him were escorted out of the presence of the Father and cast to Earth. Thus becoming the devil and his followers and the number of those cast out was a third of the host of Heaven And they would never be able to possess a body of flesh and bones allowing them the chance to grow in experience and to become more like our Father in Heaven. Therefore they did swear in their wrath that they would do everything in their power to make man as miserable as they are. And try to make as many of us fail as they can. Thus the wailing and nashing of teeth. Now those who possessed those men are fallen spirits and they will try and possess anyone who will give them power to do so. So be careful for what you wish for. For once you are possessed they will try to completely take over your body and the torment that one goes through is horrific and many of these spirits will try to possess as possible. For their memories have not been erased as yours has. And they know and understand the powers of a body can give them and they want a body badly. And when they seen Jesus they knew him. For as stated their memories have not been erased and they also knew the time appointed for judgement had not yet come. They were also revealing his true identity the Son of God. So that is why he rebuked them for the time of him to be revealed had not come either. And whenever any did know of his true identity he let them know that this was given them of the Father in Heaven Now back to why they asked to be cast into the pigs. For they knew that Jesus would cast them out from these men. For the Father had said they would never possess a body of flesh and bones a human body. But nothing was said of animals. That is how badly they wanted to experience a body. The pigs did not let them in but they strived to possess the pigs bodies anyway and the pigs would not have anything to do with them for it was not natural. And they destroyed themselves rather then let them possess them. I am sure that Jesus knew the pigs would make this choice. Remember Jesus plan is free agency. All things living were created spiritually before they were fiscally. And all were commanded to reproduce after their kind. Heavenly Father wants us to understand his plan for he loves us all. Men who think they are learned mess things up. Not all of them on purpose. But some of them purposely misguide it is horrible. And others just do not know that which they need to know to save you. So always as the scriptures tell you to do ponder it out in your own minds. And then pray to your Father who is in Heaven through the name of Jesus Christ who is our mediator to the Father. And if you ask with a sincere heart and real intent he will make the truth of all things made known unto you through the power of the Holy Ghost. Who can reveal the truth of all things unto you. Don't just depend upon the words of men. For they can deceive and mislead.

I think that most of us don’t appreciate what’s going on here. Jesus has just freed these two men of their demon possession and torment, and the community rejects him wanting him to leave. But realize that they had just lost one of their sources of food and income. Anger and rejection would have been a natural response. Yes , they did ignore the two healed individuals which should have been the centre of their attention to focus towards Christ. Now the question is would we have a better reaction if God takes away our resources? Makes me wonder, even about myself.

It was HUGE act of grace towards that community. For experiencing the loss of livelihood. Jesus calls all humans and when He does, He calls for complete surrender and trust in Him as your sole access to needed (sometimes wanted) resource ("give us this day, our daily bread"), or in short, Provider. This crowd lost their livelihood before they could understand how, then asked Him to leave. However, I guarantee they would never forget. We wouldnt. They would have asked questions from the witnesses and investigated. They would ask who that man was (Jesus), and why did He do that. My understanding is that these formerly possessed men could have become the 1st gentile missionaries recorded. If that were so (please doublecheck to be certain) the parties impacted by heavy loss of pigs may have heard the Gospel at a later time and, hearing it, understand how the Son of God who calls for surrender would allow those pigs to die. Since they just lost their livelihoods, knowing God Himself intended it (if they believed) they would have understood. I hope they heard the Gospel, and hope they did believe.

But the verse says the herdsmen went and told the town about the delivered men, not the pigs. Pastor John points this out. So i dont think the herdsmen, having witnessed the power of Jesus, wanted him out, but rather the rest of the town who hadn’t bore witness and was perhaps only thinking about the pigs. So this would create the dichotomy between having Faith in Jesus after being in his presence vs not having it and prioritizing possession.

​@@jeansamedi9303 This is an excellent question! I will not pretend to have a definitive answer without having some divine revelation of knowledge. At this point, I can only deduce from the information provided in Scripture. I know from Isaiah 66 that the prohibition on human consumption of "unclean" meats extends into the millennium of Jesus' rule, as King, on earth, during the millennium after the Tribulation. We know from other Scriptures that the universe was created through Jesus, and also that He is "the same yesterday, today, and forever." Jesus doesn't change. This is to say that His judgments do not change with the ages. We also know that "the Law," "not one jot or tiddle," will be done away with until all things are completed. This is from the New Testament. I am sorry for not yet having all these passages-chapter and verse-memorized just yet. My point is that "unclean meats" are not suddenly made "clean" by Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. Also, the prohibition on the consumption of unclean meats is for ALL of God's people (Israel-both physical AND spiritual 'Israel,' and not just the Jews), and that this prohibition is not somehow magically 'rescinded' during the "church age," only to be resumed after Jesus' return! That simply doesn't make sense according to Scripture. Ultimately, my GUESS is that the demons sought living hosts. Since the nearest non-human living hosts were pigs (I'm guessing), the demons asked Christ's permission to inhabit THEM. EVEN THOUGH THE OWNERS WERE GENTTILES, pigs should not have been raised/farmed for human consumption. I am 'guessing' that Jesus destroyed them for that reason. Also, since the Scriptures were divinely inspired, particularly so for future generations, to include US, the message in that chapter would be applicable to you and I. I do not claim to know what became of the demons. MY main takeaway is that the prohibition on "unclean" meats was not somehow abolished by Jesus' birth, death, burial, and/or resurrection. That much is obvious upon reading the last chapter of Isaiah. At the time of writing the Old Testament, the Jews would have known this while many of the Gentiles would he not. This lesson may be more four our generation (the end times generation) than it was for theirs??

I think the most important lessons here are that this man who had been so tormented for so long was set free in an instant by the power of God in Christ Jesus and that even the demons obey him! The men who owned the pigs were more upset that they lost their pigs rather than praising God for the saving of this man OR admonishing and glorifying God the Father for this display of love and power. What has been written is for our understanding that in Christ alone we can be saved, mind, body and soul. "When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. He shouted at the top of his voice, What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God"? The MAN ran and fell to his knees not knowing that he was the Son of God he was before. It was the demons who knew who he was and spoke. POWERFUL!!!!!

I like Billy Graham simple version; 'they're were 3 prayer request met that day ---Jesus casted out the demons...Jesus answered the demons request...and 3rd Jesus left that town per thier request'....also, the demons knew the torment of Hell was to great for them

Rebecca, I saw this lesson and decided to check it out, regardless of it not being the same doctrines as my belief (I am Messianic Hebrew). Seeing your post, I wanted to reach out and help explain further.. As this pastor said, swine is unclean and the reason why Christ put the unclean spirits into the swine. We are called to follow Him, not traditions of men.. stop the pagan rituals of christmas, easter, etc. Observe the true Shabbat (Sabbath) as Saturday, the seventh day. Edit: Christ came to fullfil the law, not abolish it. In the Book of Matthew, Yahshua says that not one jot or tittle shall pass before prophecy is fullfilled. At the time of His death, He said "It is finished". In the The Book of Revelation 21:6 Yahweh, in finality says "It is done!" This is the basis for me following The Most High 's commandments, laws, statutes and feasts days.. not twisted scripture and gospel to further separate us from Yahweh. Blessings prayers and praises to The Most High Yah

This was a town on the sea of Galilee. Jesus never spoke to anyone other than Jews and he never left the area around the Sea of Galilee. It wasn’t until after his death that Saul, a gentile, was given the Holy Spirit by the angel who stoped him on the road. He was told then to take the gospel to the gentiles. So these herders and the towns people were Jews. It was not against the law of the Jews to raise pigs and sell them to the gentiles. This was by all the evidence the towns industry. They were pig farmers and legion was a demon that was working with them in their business. The man or men they were possessing we’re terrifying anyone who ventured near the towns herd of pigs and so we can deduce that the town liked the situation as it stood. Now when Jesus saw what was happening he was most likely aware of the whole situation. When Legion came out of the man/men (the scary protector of the herd and toy of the demon) and went into the pigs and stampeded them into the sea off the cliff.... it was the demons revenge on Jesus...knowing the towns people would hate Jesus for causing the demon to come out of the man and destroying their industry along with all their product. The pigs all drowned in the sea of Galilee but legion would not die until it was his time at the end of the last days. Legion would simply go away looking for another Host. The possessed man/men would most likely be the only one(s) to appreciate what Jesus did for them. Thus the angry attitude of the town that forced Jesus to leave or else.

Technically the demons were the ones that killed the pigs. I just finished explaining but I’ll share here too. They possessed the pigs and made an escape. They had to leave and it was better for them in Hades to have killed themselves(pigs). The pigs were possessed. Demons have a hierarchy system like a military and it was better for them to leave the souls of the pigs in death then to go back “empty handed” in a way.. As above so below. Just like in the Kingdom of Heaven Angels must please God, demons must please their master. It would have been disgraceful for them to have simply been cast out. The objective is to steal, kill and destroy.

It makes no sense the way it was explained... the only reasoning the guy gave for the demons entering pigs was that there were no other animals around... well there was a bloody ocean right next to the pigs, you really think it was empty and void of animal life?

WHY DID JESUS CAST THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS INTO UNCLEAN PIGS AND ALLOWED THEM RUN IN THE WATER? THERE ARE MANY LESSONS HERE. . The fact that men have been possessed with demons, is clearly stated in the New Testament. The persons thus afflicted were not merely suffering with disease from natural causes. Christ had perfect understanding of that with which he was dealing, and he recognized the direct presence and agency of evil spirits. {GC88 514.1} A striking example of their number, power, and malignity, and also of the power and mercy of Christ, is given in the Scripture account of the healing of the demoniacs at Gadara. Those wretched maniacs, spurning all restraint, writhing, foaming, raging, were filling the air with their cries, doing violence to themselves, and endangering all who should approach them. Their bleeding and disfigured bodies and distracted minds presented a spectacle well-pleasing to the prince of darkness. One of the demons controlling the sufferers declared, “My name is Legion; for we are many.” [Mark 5:9.] In the Roman army a legion consisted of from three to five thousand men. Satan's hosts also are marshaled in companies, and the single company to which these demons belonged numbered no less than a legion. {GC88 514.2} At the command of Jesus, the evil spirits departed from their victims, leaving them calmly sitting at the Saviour's 515 feet, subdued, intelligent, and gentle. But the demons were permitted to sweep a herd of swine into the sea; and to the dwellers of Gadara the loss of these outweighed the blessings which Christ had bestowed, and the divine Healer was entreated to depart. This was the result which Satan designed to secure. By casting the blame of their loss upon Jesus, he aroused the selfish fears of the people, and prevented them from listening to his words. Satan is constantly accusing Christians as the cause of loss, misfortune, and suffering, instead of allowing the reproach to fall where it belongs, upon himself and his agents. {GC88 514.3} But the purposes of Christ were not thwarted. He allowed the evil spirits to destroy the herd of swine as a rebuke to those Jews who were raising these unclean beasts for the sake of gain. Had not Christ restrained the demons, they would have plunged into the sea, not only the swine, but also their keepers and owners. The preservation of both the keepers and the owners was due alone to his power, mercifully exercised for their deliverance. Furthermore, this event was permitted to take place that the disciples might witness the cruel power of Satan upon both man and beast. The Saviour desired his followers to have a knowledge of the foe whom they were to meet, that they might not be deceived and overcome by his devices. It was also his will that the people of that region should behold his power to break the bondage of Satan and release his captives. And though Jesus himself departed, the men so marvelously delivered remained to declare the mercy of their Benefactor. {GC88 515.1}
