28 And when he was come from the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no man might pass that way. |
1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. .2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. |
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. .27 And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. |
PESHER: Here Matthew is carrying the ball...2 men stand for 2 1000 yr periods of time, making up ONE AGE, the Age of Pisces. |
PESHER: Peter, who wrote Mark must conceal and blur the meaning.... One man, not two..No multiple devils just one "unclean spirit". |
PESHER: Luke/Cornelius follows Peter/Mark with the literal story, not the "Parable"..However, in each case the Gadarenes are Gentiles, not Jews. |
29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time? |
6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, ..7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. |
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not. |
PESHER: Only Matthew here mentions "TIME", the key concept that ties this account to Isa. 66 |
PESHER: Peter allowed more involvement. ...The man with the evil spirit [Gentile] worships afar off [TIME and ETHICS] |
PESHER: Luke not allowed to mention TIME. However TORMENT [Hell and Purgatory] will be Middle Ages dogma. |
30 And there was a good way off from them a herd of swine feeding. |
11 Now there was nigh unto the mount- tains a great herd of swine feeding. |
32 And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: |
PESHER: Here the swine are "a good way off"[both in TIME and ETHICS] as in "afar off" ....... |
PESHER: Repetition of "afar off" would be too much of a clue..here a great herd of swine. ...... |
PESHER: Many swine. "MANY" was one of those Greek words with a double meaning, here Herodian/Roman... |
31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away intothe herd of swine |
12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them. |
32b and they [devils] besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them [pigs]. And he suffered them. |
PESHER: The editorial committee has decided Matthew is close to giving away the meaning. ..He will not be permitted to give away the NUMBER. |
PESHER: Peter is now allowed to be more spec- ific, since he started with one man with an unclean spirit...all of the devils besought him. |
PESHER: Luke is left out of the loop here, using pronouns in place of the specific words "devils" and "pigs"...[But becomes quite wordy after this] |
32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters. ............. |
13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thou- sand;) and were chok -ed in the sea. |
33 Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. ................ ................ ................. ............. |

In the Age of Aquarius, after the flying pigs have"choked", things might indeed be differ- ent, Essene LOGIC heard. |
