And Drowned - Luke 8:30-33

Luke 8:30-33 ESV 

Jesus then asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered him. And they begged him not to command them to depart into the abyss. Now a large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and they begged him to let them enter these. So he gave them permission. Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.

Revelation 18:21

Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, 

“So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence,

and will be found no more;

Genesis 1:1-2 NETS

​In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth. Yet the earth was invisible and unformed, and darkness was over the abyss, and a divine wind was being carried along over the water.

The Septuagint uses the Greek word for abyss in Genesis for the deep, the waters of darkness, which is symbolic of man. 

Jesus brings the light to this man and orders these creatures of darkness to leave him.  They beg to enter the swine nearby, unclean animals. The swine then race to the sea. The demons have successfully taken life into the awaiting deep, the destination of all who choose not to be washed in the blood of the lamb. 

This foreshadows the destruction of Babylon. Babylon and the sea will be no more.
