A Herd of Pigs In Our Religious Faith
In Matthew 11:21-23 and Luke 10:13-15 Jesus condemns cities that refuse to repent after witnessing Christ's many miracles. It is interesting that the area where these condemned cites are located are in the same area where Jesus healed two demon-possessed men – Matthew 8:28-34 , Mark 5:1-17, Luke 8:26-37.
After Jesus had driven out the demons from the two demon-possessed men the demons said, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
The request by the demons begs the question – What are a herd of pigs doing in Israel? Since the Mosaic law forbids pigs then the existence of a herd of pigs in that region signifies that the people practiced their religion with no particular emphasis on God's law.
Today we have the same situation where our 'herd of pigs' are abortion, homosexuality, same sex marriage, sharia law, etc., along with all those practices that go against God's law that we seem to embrace with such eagerness.
Eventually God will come back (hint: the rapture) and carry out his promise of eternal condemnation as stated in Matthew 11:21-23 and Luke 10:13-15 for all those who have a 'herd of pigs' in their religious faith.
Believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and let Jesus drive out the 'herd of pigs' in your life by sending all the demons (hint: at their request) into those pigs and then letting the demons drive themselves off the edge of a cliff. Then you'll have life eternal with God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit in heaven forever, and rest assured that when Jesus Christ comes for all of his faithful at the rapture just before the Great Tribulation (hint: read the Book of Revelation) you'll be included.
God Bless
