“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.”
2 Tim. 3:1-2
Christ was ministering in the lower Galilee when he and his disciples sailed across the lake to one of the cities of the Decapolis. Passing a grave yard, a man who had experienced a mental breakdown and had become possessed by about two-thousand spirits met Christ. The Bible says he was “exceedingly fierce” (Matt. 8:28). In this narrative the word fierce in Greek is chalepos, meaning to ‘reduce strength; to become difficult and dangerous.’ He was not just a rough fellow having a hard time, since the spirits within him could break chains and wooden fetters. He was dangerous to anyone who encountered him.
