Bible Question: Why did Jesus send the demons into the pigs, and where did the demons go when the pigs drowned?

Bible Answer: I think what JohnBible wrote is valid and is a good observation. I also think Jesus was giving us a practical demonstration. Jesus by granting the demons request to be sent into the pigs was demonstrating, demons can not predict the future because they have no idea of the future.

The demons didn’t want to be without a body to inhabit, so they figured they would ask to be sent into the pigs which a Jew (of which Jesus was) would already consider to be unclean. Jesus on the other hand knew exactly what the pigs would do, so He allowed them to enter the pigs. Lesson Satan and his demons can not tell the future.
