What
does the Bible teach about demons?
Matthew
12:43-45 (Jesus speaking) When an unclean spirit goes out
of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds
none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’
And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.
Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked
than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state
of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with
this wicked generation.
