MARK 5:7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God’s name don’t torture me!” 8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!”
9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area.
11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region.
Lets talk about religion or re-legion.
each of us have our own distinct re legion. It is a combination of all the wants ,desires. lusts, influences, distractions, impulses, beliefs, memories, fears, pains( mental and physical), habits, traits and characteristics. I think the people wanted Jesus to leave the region cause they knew they were going to fish those pigs out the lake and pig out on roast pig for as long as it lasted. So what happened to the legions? They were ingested and digested into diverse religions. The Thought Of Jesus makes em mad.
