What Does Luke 8:33 Mean?
The devils go out of the man and into the swine, and the herd rushes violently down the steep bank into the lake and drowns.
The destruction makes the invisible visible. What the spirits did in a moment to the herd, headlong ruin, is what they had been working in the man for years. The drowned swine are the proof of his rescue and the unmasking of his tormentors. The man stands free on the shore, and the destroying tide that had carried his life toward the tombs has gone into the water without him.
