Bible Question: Why did Jesus send the demons into the pigs, and where did the demons go when the pigs drowned? |
Bible Answer: Why? "According to His sovereign purposes..." Hank: Mark 5:13 *Jesus gave them permission.* "According to His sovereign purposes Jesus allowed the demons to enter the pigs and destroy them -- the text offers no other explanation. By doing this, Jesus gave the man a graphic, visible, and powerful lesson on the immensity of the evil from which he had been delivered" (p. 1468, MacArthur Study Bible, Word, 1997). |
