You also know that the angels who did not keep within their proper domain but abandoned their own place of residence, He has kept in eternal chains in utter darkness, locked up for the judgement of the great Day. (Jude verse 6, NET Bible)
In this past Sunday's sermon, Pastor Andy noted that the demons mentioned in Mark 5 had an orthodox theology. What did they know that we should also know?
Hierarchy. They understood the positions and roles of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As soon as they saw Jesus in human form, they addressed Him according to His heavenly rank: "Jesus, Son of the Most High God" (Mark 5:7).
Worship. They understood that the only appropriate posture to take in the presence of Jesus was to bow before Him (Mark 5:6).
Eschatology. The demons were aware that a day would come when they would be judged (Mark 5:7; Jude verse 6).
When Jesus came on the scene, the actions of the demonic spirits shifted into alignment with Divine order and protocol. How does the presence of the Lord inform your actions?
