In this episode, we discuss the evil legacy that the Nephilim left us as humans after their birth and death on our planet. The book of Enoch states that they're still alive today but as did embody evil spirits bent on the destruction of man, just looking for a body to occupy. In the book of Matthew 8:28-34, we read an encounter that Jesus had with some of these evil spirits or demons. The same account is reported in Mark 5:1-20 and Luke 8:26-39, both of which are longer than Matthew’s account. While Jesus was here on the earth one aspect of his ministry was that of delivering people from the grips of evil spirits and demon possession, and taught his disciples how to do the same. He gave them authority over them then and now.
28 When He arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met Him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29 “What do you want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”
30 Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32 He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. 33 Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town, and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they pleaded with Him to leave their region. Matthew 8:28-34
