David asks a question that we are all asking in this day and age. Why are people so crazy? It used to be that we expected emotional regulation in society and in public. We expected respectable behavior toward others. Today it seems like there is emotional disregulation everywhere. People scream and yell as if there is a justification for doing so. Most of these behaviors are allowed and encouraged because certain rulers are using the mental and emotional demonic possession of others to their advantage with an end to destroy society. These rulers are the very same people who mock Christ. Who would want to trust someone who mocks Yahweh Jesus Messiah? Since there is nothing new under the sun we can recognize that there were many periods recorded in the Bible that described societal chaos and upheaval, such as during the start of the nation of Israel, and during the era of the northern and southern kingdoms. So whatever was done in the past is simply inspired again in humans. David tells us that the pharmaceutical drugs, the medicating of people, causes more lawlessness and unrighteousness. These drugs cause people to resemble their leaders, Satanas and his demons. If people are drugged they can be controlled.
Just a few previous studies on demonology:

Let’s start with David talking about the raging nations.
Psalms 2:0 G5568 A psalm G3588 to G* David.
“Song the David”
David teaches through his songs. People tend to remember songs or lyrics put to music better than words alone.
Psalms 2:1 G2444 Why did G5433 [2neigh G1484 1nations], G2532 and G2992 peoples G3191 meditate upon G2756 vain things ?
“For what reason ethnos/nations snort (like a horse) and the laity they studied vanities.”
David writes about the nations, the ethnic groups. The fact that Israel had a national Elohim was a distinction between them and other ethnic groups. While some nations had their own gods, Israel was supposed to be worshipping the Elohim and living under a set of rules that made them moral and civilized. There was a moral law, a civil law, and a spiritual law for the people to follow. While the laws and commands seem like a burden they are only a burden when one lives outside these rules.
David says that the nations snort like a horse. Horses can snort when they are happy or upset. But when a horse is mad, it stomps, it jumps, it behaves in an uncontrolled manner. This is why people “break” a horse, so that it is rideable. Sometimes horses just don’t like people and they behave badly, running fast and throwing their rider. The nations are not broken for the Elohim. Israel was supposed to be broken for the Elohim, but there were too many mixed nations cohabitating with Israel and they acted like a bucking horse.
The idea is that the nations make a tumult or rage. The nations are screaming and yelling in an uproar. Their pandemonium is not for the Elohim but for their own vain thoughts. Their vanities are due to their narcissism. People who know the Elohim and who worship Christ are not generally narcissistic because Christianity teaches that we are to submit, or bow to Jesus Christ, taking up our cross and laying our own lives down for the saints. However there are narcissists in the church and we know them by their fruits and behaviors. Can a narcissist be saved as a narcissist when the narcissist does not put Jesus first by making Jesus Lord? Repent. Jesus told us to love one another so that others would know we are His disciples. Does the narcissist really love others?
This is an idea worth exploring because the church is supposed to judge behaviors within the church. There is plenty of cleaning up we need to do within the church and while we are dusting and polishing we are also supposed to be wise to the world. Demons exist and they encourage vanities, they also cause people to act poorly. The non-saved people rage and behave badly because they want to live their own way, without the Christians holding a moral line. Satanas and his demons intend to push morality out, and those who follow them will snort and stomp and study vain things.
Psalms 2:2 G3936 [5stood by G3588 1The G935 2kings G3588 3of the G1093 4earth], G2532 and G3588 the G758 rulers G4863 gathered G2009.1 together G2596 against G3588 the G2962 lord G2532 and G2596 against G3588 G5547 his anointed one, G1473
“The kings the earth indeed present and the rulers convene against the his downward Yahweh and downward the his Christos chanting.”
In comparing the LXX-WH we see a few small changes in the text. The last word of this sentence seems to be missing; διαψαλμα meaning “chanting”. The kings and rulers chant downward against Yahweh and the Messiah. Why would the ethnic kings and rulers convene against Yahweh and the Messiah? Why would they chant about it? They are excited about vain studies and oppose Yahweh and the Messiah because they feel Yahweh brings them bondage.
Why do rulers convene against Yahweh and the Messiah? Yahweh and the Messiah are a threat to those who want to exploit the laity. Yahweh and the Messiah are the moral standard that we are all to live by. If we put the demon possessed in charge as our rulers then we get anti-Christ behaviors from them.
Psalms 2:3 G1284 We should tear up G3588 G1199 their bonds, G1473 G2532 and G641 we should throw away G575 from G1473 us G3588 G2218 their yoke. G1473
“Let’s break in the ties his and reject away from us the his heavy burden.”
This is what the kings and rulers chant. They chant to break the ties and heavy burdens or the coupling with Yahweh. David’s question is why are they in a rage over this? Why are they rejecting Yahweh? Why do they think that they are bound and tied by Yahweh? They are not. They think that they are so they reject Yahweh, claiming that following Him brings a heavy burden. What burden? Sin. The things they wish to partake in are pointed out as sin and when sin is called out or exposed then it becomes a burden. In order to relieve the burden they reject Yahweh and the Messiah. If one rejects Yahweh and the Christ then that one has no burden of their own sins.
The kings of the earth and the rulers convene and decide to reject Yahweh and His Messiah (the future Messiah, Jesus) because their sins are a heavy burden when they live under the Elohim. The rules and laws of Jesus Messiah are very simple, ready?
Mar 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
Anyone who wants to be a leader, ruler, governor, president, priest, or clergy, should be an expert following these commands, both in public and in private. There should not be a public and a private self that is different in anyone who wants to be a leader of men. If someone talks like a follower of Christ but does not live in private like a follower of Christ then that person is not following Christ. Some people talk the game in public, but at home they belittle their spouse, kick the dog, yell at the children, complain about the food, demand, demand, demand. This is not leader material, that is demon possession.
Psalms 2:4 G3588 The G2730 one dwelling G1722 in G3772 heavens G1548.1 derides G1473 them, G2532 and G3588 the G2962 lord G1592 ridicules G1473 them.
“The resident in heaven laughs at them and the Yahweh mocks them.”
The ethnic nations cannot hide from Yahweh and neither can we. Do you think that Yahweh doesn’t know everyones secrets?
https://musingsofawinsomeheart.blogspot.com/2022/08/the-anointed-one-its-us-foretold-kings.html
David gives us more understanding in Psalm 58.
Psalms 58 0 G1519 To G3588 the G5056 director; G3361 do not G1311 utterly destroy; G3588 to G* David; G1519 for G4739.2 an inscription on a monument.
“Into the fulfillment not destroy; the David; into inscription on a monument.
David starts with “Into the end, do not utterly destroy”, referring to the end of the age.
David is speaking about things that will take place through to the end of the age. That would be until the millennial reign of Christ.
Psalms 58:1 G1487 Will G230 truly G686 thus G1343 [2righteousness G2980 1you speak] G2117 and rightly G2919 judge, G5207 O sons G3588 G444 of men?
“If certainly then righteousness speak straight judge son the manfaced.”
Psalms 58:2 G2532 For even G1063 G1722 in G2588 the heart G458 [2lawlessness G2038 1you work] G1722 in G3588 the G1093 earth. G93 [3in injustice G3588 G5495 1Your hands G1473 G4844.3 2closely join].
“And for in heart lawlessness work in the earth unrighteousness, their hand intertwined.”
Lawlessness works in the earth and unrighteousness is in their hands. Why? If in those days David is speaking of Jews then this would be because they rejected the laws of Moses. If David is speaking of the nations, it would be because they do not know the Elohim and His laws. They behave lawlessly and unrighteously. If Jews reject the law then they bring curses upon themselves. Curses lead people into demon possession.
Psalms 58:3 G526 [2were separated G3588 G268 1Sinners] G575 from G3388 the womb; G4105 they wander G575 from G1064 the belly; G2980 they spoke G5571 lies.
“Estrange sinful away from the matrix (womb) make to wander away from stomach (matrix) speak lying.”
This is a creative way of saying ‘separate the wicked from procreation’. Every time evil people procreate the spread of wicked hearts advances. The ones who speak lies, the imposters, should not reproduce, that is David’s prayer. That was the prayer/song on the monument that all of Israel was to read and recite. Isn’t it funny how David got others to declare this by putting it on a monument?
Demons are not passed down like genetics, but demons will infiltrate entire families. One wicked parent or two wicked parents will cause emotional damage in their children. Those children will grow up to do wicked things unless they get saved and Holy Spirit filled. They will have to battle demons for their salvation and so that they can have peace. All people can overcome their past abuse.
Psalms 58:4 G2372 Rage G1473 to them G2596 is according to G3588 the G3669 likeness G3588 of the G3789 serpent; G5616 as G785 [2asp G2974 1a mute] G2532 even G1040.1 plugging G3588 G3775 her ears, G1473
“Their passion/wrath downward the resemblance serpent, just as if cobra dumb and immersion his ear”
The lawless in heart have a negative passion, they rage and are wrathful. They have a resemblance of a serpent, ophis, from heaven. It is a “downward resemblance”, meaning that the one that they resemble is above them. In other words, humans who have become lawless in their heart start to take on the traits of the fallen sons of God. They may not be heirs of the fallen angels, but they start to behave like them.
The wild wrath of the lawless heart is also like a cobra that cannot speak and refuses to hear, by plugging or immersing his ears. This last phrase should connect to the next verse.
Why are the lawless in heart behaving like the serpent? How do they become lawless?
Psalms 58:5 G3748 who G3756 does not G1522 listen to G5456 the sound G1864.1 [2charming G5333 1of the sorcerer], G5037 and the G5332.1 administering of potions G3844 by G4680 a wise man .
“Who not hearken tone expelled magician also medicated in the presence of learned.”
The cobra who is dumb or mute, immerses his ears and does not listen to the tones played by a magician. The idea is that the lawless in heart are like cobras who can’t speak and who won’t listen to the music that a sorcerer plays. But there is more here. The second part of the verse says that the cobra is medicated in the presence of the learned. The key to snake charming is medicating the snake with something first to calm it down and heighten its senses to the music. Regular people don’t know that this takes place, but the wise do. This is the lawless heart. The lawless heart is medicated by people who are wise regarding pharmaceuticals. A sorcerer is a pharmakeus who uses pharmakons, it is manipulation via herbs or drugs; basically any engineered potion or medication. But lawless humans can be “medicated” by lusts (child/human trafficking). The skill of the sorcerer is to know the subject that one wishes to influence, and then use the correct pharmakons. This is how people become lawless, they are drawn to something that makes them feel good.
“Just as if cobra dumb and immersion his ear who not hearken tone expelled magician also medicated in the presence of learned.”
A lawless heart is being manipulated by a sorcerer using drugs and or lusts, but when something goes wrong they become enraged or filled with wrath. They then start to resemble the likeness of the ophis. They want to dominate, or control others. The lawless heart is so overcome by the sorcerer that he or she does not function as children of the Most High do. The key here is that as more and more people are manipulated into lawlessness, the society becomes unbalanced. The lawless hearts, the impostors, and the wicked, become the determining influence over the world while the children of God are shut up. This is societal entropy. The law of chaos that cannot be reversed.

What we do not know is the effect the pharmaceuticals that people are taking are having on them. We know that there was a project to vaccinate people to alter the “god” gene, but what about every day drugs? Is it possible that people are becoming more demon possessed because they are taking pharmakons which cause them emotional disregulation? Why do people scream and yell all the time? Isn’t this characteristic of demonic possession? Why then are we seeing so much craziness in the world? Our pharmaceuticals are not making people emotionally better or closer to the Elohim, they are having the opposite effect. These people have no peace.
Let’s look at some of the characteristics of demons. We should not forget that there are unclean spirits influencing people but there are some other things we should think about. Demons were not created by the Elohim. Demons were “created” inadvertently by the cohabitation of angels and earth women. Manfaced is a three part being, spirit, soul, and body. The Elohim created manfaced this way. Did the Elohim create angels with spirit, soul, and body? How about cherubim or seraphim? We don’t know. We do know they seem to be spirit and they seem to have a spiritual body, but we do not know if they were created with a physical body and a physical soul. Although we will judge angels in the future, and we know they have freedom of will, they can choose to follow the Elohim or not, we do not know what their soul or breath life is like.
The Elohim did not create demons. Demons are the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim. When manfaced dies the body decays but the soul and spirit live on. The word of the Elohim divides between soul and spirit. This is the division as to being judged because the heart has thoughts and intents. The soul and spirit will determine heaven or hell. The further division is that if someone is saved then they are judged as to rewards, based on the soul. The spirit of manfaced might be saved and the soul determines rewards received at the coronation of Jesus as King of kings and Lord of lords.
With this in mind, what would it be like to be an unclean spirit, knowing that you were not a chosen, created, being, but a bastardization of the Elohim’s creation? I don’t mention this for sympathy, as demons do not have to be destructive to humans, but to point out the reason that they cause humans to act out so badly. There is a place for demons, they themselves call it the “abyss” or the “bottomless pit”, the place that the earth is above. As we consider this, whose directive are they following and why? They believe that they can overthrow the earth along with their leader Satanas. However they cannot. Now we have some tools to understand emotional disregulation or the reason that people are behaving crazy. They are inspired to behave badly and the societal push from Satanas is for civilization to accept it. It used to be that we put people in mental hospitals but now we allow them to behave badly out in the open.
Mar 5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
Mar 5:2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
169 LSJ Gloss:ἀκάθαρτος uncleansed, unclean, impure
Dodson: ἀκάθαρτος unclean, impure.
TBESG: ἀκάθαρτος
unclean
G:A
ἀκάθαρτος, -ον
(< ἀ- neg., καθαίρω), [in LXX chiefly for טָמֵא ;]
unclean, impure;
__(a) physically (LS, MM, VGT, see word);
__(b) ceremonially:

Thayer:
1) not cleansed, unclean
1a) in a ceremonial sense: that which must be abstained from according to the levitical law
1b) in a moral sense: unclean in thought and life
ἀκάθαρτος
akathartos ak-ath'-ar-tos From G1 (as a negative particle) and a presumed derivative of G2508 (meaning cleansed); impure (ceremonially, morally (lewd) or specifically (demonic)) KJV Usage: foul, unclean.
Matthew says that there are two men at the tombs, while Mark and Luke mention one man. For our purposes we will note this in the singular.
Notice that unclean means “impure physically, ceremonially, and morally”. We see that unclean spirits are not purified. Can they become purified? I believe that if they could then we would have been told to witness to them as well as to people.
Why did the man with the unclean spirits come out to meet Jesus? What did the demons see when the man looked at Jesus? Can they see what type of spirit men have, as in renewed and saved, or unrenewed and unsaved? Did they feel a disruption in the force as Jesus approached?
Mar 5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
The man lived in tombs, which were caves that had dead bodies in them, like mausoleums. It is an unclean place to live, but if one is homeless that one finds shelter anywhere he can. No one would probably bother him staying among the tombs and it was probably dry and cool.
Mar 5:4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.
The man broke free from chains and shackles. This tells us that the man is very strong and the people in the region had nothing that could hold him. He was also un-tame meaning no one could talk to him, help him calm down, or reason with him.
Mar 5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
Crying and self mutilation points to despair. People who self-mutilate say that they do it to feel alive. This is interesting because the man was alive, but so miserable that he wanted to die. But when people wanted to help, then the man would go wild.
Mar 5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
The spiritual presence of Jesus caused the demons to make the man to run to Jesus. When he got there he worshipped him, but it wasn’t just the man worshipping Jesus it was the demons also worshipping Jesus.
Mar 5:7 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.
Mar 5:8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.
One demon speaking for all the demons wants to know why Jesus is casting them out.
Mar 5:9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
There are many demons within this man. It might be safe to say that the more demons one has the more they act uncontrolled, untamed, and unrestrained.
Mar 5:10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
The leader of the demon clan did not want to be sent out of the country. They found a good home where they were, and there was enough available bodies for them there. There is a type of body that these demons look for. One that is willing to house them. Demons can enter through false worship, practicing magic, sorcery, and child sacrifice. But demons can also enter victims of abuse. If the culture that these people were living in was depraved, and it was because it was first a Greek and later a Roman region (not an Israeli region), then they would want to stay in a place where people’s minds and hearts would let them in.
Think of places where spiritual darkness resides, this is where demons want to live. Think about places like Germany after world war one, where the elites set up houses of prostitution for men, women, and children, as well as institutes exploring sexual perversions and early transgender surgeries. What is the United States turning towards? We have one “sin city” which now doesn’t look particularly sinful in comparison to the present day. It is not just false worship that allows demons entrance it is many behaviors that stray from the knowledge of the Elohim, until they deny the Elohim as Creator. This is in part the reason for the laws of Moses, so that people would keep demons out. Think about the curses the Jews put on themselves, demons enter with self imposed curses.
These are not just demon possessed people living in tombs, they also live in all cities and towns and they go to synagogues and churches.
Mar 1:23 And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out,
Screaming again. Demons make people scream.
Mar 1:24 Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
It is interesting that demons confess Jesus is the Holy One of the Elohim. There are many people who do not believe in Jesus Messiah but the demons do.
Mar 1:25 And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him.
Mar 1:26 And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.
More screaming and this time convulsing. Demons don’t like leaving their host. People understood what was going on. They understood that they could have demons. What they wanted was to be free so they followed Jesus and brought their friends and family.
Mar 3:10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
Mar 3:11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
Demons fall at Jesus’ feet, yelling that he is the Son of the Elohim. Once again, demons testify of Jesus.
Mar 3:12 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
We might ask why Jesus didn’t want demons to make him known. Jesus was just beginning his ministry healing people and didn’t need the contentions of being called the Son of God. He needed to show the people the power of the Elohim working in him so that they could decide without the controversy.
People can control demons, kick demons out of themselves, and behave properly, emotionally controlled in public and private. If we in the church will make known the scriptures we can heal people instead of allow them to be constantly demon controlled, screaming and yelling because the only relief from demons they know of is pharmaceutical drugs. Yet because the kings and rulers of the world are anti-Christ’s and they convene against Yahweh and the Messiah, they do not want people to find salvation through Christ. These corrupt kings and rulers want to give people their idea of salvation, which is drugs. This is why our kings and rulers do not speak about mental health issues. They want people demonically controlled which will mean the kings and rulers will have the support of the people as long as the people get their drugs. It is an old story that plays over and over. There is another way, Jesus Christ is better than any pharmaceutical drug. He is the prince of peace, he will share his peace with us. It is time of us to teach the world.
