Isn’t it interesting that demons know their own fate? They know their time is short, so they terrorize their captives. Why is it so hard for people to see their mortality? Why is it hard to acknowledge God? Why is it so offensive to talk about judgement day? About Hell? Because deep down inside every human being, there is a small voice that knows the above to be true, but will not admit it. The saddest part about it is the fact that the demons admit it, and most human beings won’t.
28 When Jesus arrived on the other side of the lake, in the region of the Gadarenes, two men who were possessed by demons met Him. They lived in a cemetery and were so violent that no one could go through that area.29 They began screaming at Him, “Why are You interfering with us, Son of God? Have You come here to torture us before God’s appointed time?”30 There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding in the distance. 31 So the demons begged, “If You cast us out, send us into that herd of pigs.”32 “All right, go!” Jesus commanded them. So the demons came out of the men and entered the pigs, and the whole herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned in the water.33 The herdsmen fled to the nearby town, telling everyone what happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 Then the entire town came out to meet Jesus, but they begged Him to go away and leave them alone.
Matthew 8:28-34
