Explaining unclean spirit
( 81 ) Mr 1:23 � And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean "akathartos" spirit ; and he cried out ,
.. man with an unclean ..
( 82 ) Mr 1:26 And when the unclean "akathartos" spirit had torn him , and cried with a loud voice , he came out of him .
.. unclean ..
( 83 ) Mr 1:27 And they were all amazed , insomuch that they questioned among themselves , saying , What thing is this ? what new doctrine is this ? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean "akathartos" spirits , and they do obey him .
.. he even the unclean spirits..
A strange verse. How can there be an unclean Holy Spirit ?
We don't have all the answers, and some verses are strange.
Why doesn't the verse say the "unclean angels of Satan "...
( 84 ) Mr 3:11 And unclean "akathartos" spirits , when they saw him , fell down before him , and cried , saying , Thou art the Son of God .
.. unclean ..
Notice the unclean spirits speak. This proves the "unclean spirits" are personal beings, which speak through the lips of the humans who are possessed by
the "unclean spirits". The word "pneuma" in Greek equates to the word "ruwach" in Hebrew, and means "wind", not spirit. There are broad meanings
for "wind" in Scripture. The "wind" is an administrative action of the Holy Spirit
acting as a medium for "winds" to flow through the medium into humans.
The "wind of man" is a reference to the character of man. The "unclean wind of man" is a reference to the "unclean character of man" flowing through him or her. Who is in control of this flow ? Or the flow of
wind or spirit or character in all humans ? The Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not act on it's own, using it's own power, thus GOD is allowing
our "wind" to be observed through the medium of the Holy Spirit. This is why the word "unclean spirit" is used.
Now which authority is the source of the "unclean wind" in humans ? The source of empowered "wind" comes from personal beings also. There are two personal rulers of the spirit mentioned in Scripture.
Satan OR the Holy Spirit. Both live in the mind of man. The Holy Spirit is capable of living personally in all humans as a single entity because GOD is capable of omnipresence. Satan is also capable of living personally in every human mind as well through the "spirit power of fallen angels".
There is enough fallen angels for single entities to empower "unclean spirits" if we choose to be possessed by such Satanic angels.
Ps 78:49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger,
wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending "evil (ra) angels (malak)" among them.
The Hebrew word "malak" means messenger, so "evil messengers" were sent.
Re 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels (aggelos) fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels (aggelos),
Here is a Greek word equating aggelos with Hebrew malak, both mean
messengers. There was war in heaven and Michael (Jesus) fought with His messengers and the dragon (Satan) fought with his messengers. In context
we know this word to mean angels....
Ge 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims (k@ruwb), and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Does the Hebrew have a word for "angel" ? Yes. They are called cherubims.
Why are the other angels referenced as messengers ? Because their power of influence of power comes from the source ruler of power, not from themselves, thus Jesus or Satan are rulers. And the messengers are
ambassadors for that power of influence. Hence such beings are termed messengers, makes perfect sense.
( 85 ) Mr 3:30 Because they said , He hath an unclean "akathartos" spirit .
.. said He hath an unclean spirit..
( 86 ) Mr 5:2 And when he was come out of the ship , immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean "akathartos" spirit ,
.. man with an unclean ..
( 87 ) Mr 5:8 For he said unto him , Come out of the man , thou unclean "akathartos" spirit .
.. of the man thou unclean ..
( 88 ) Mr 5:13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave . And the unclean "akathartos" spirits went out , and entered into the swine : and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea , (they were about two thousand ;) and were choked in the sea .
.. And the unclean ..
Here was a man full of disease. The pigs were symbols
of people making money from diease.
Jesus allowed the diseased angels to rush into the pigs
a fitting end to disease, except it caused much stirring
from those who made money from dieased food.
( 89 ) Mr 6:7 � And he called unto him the twelve , and began to send them forth by two and two ; and gave them power over unclean "akathartos" spirits ;
.. power over unclean ..
( 90 ) Mr 7:25 For a certain woman , whose young daughter had an unclean "akathartos" spirit , heard of him , and came and fell at his feet :
.. daughter had an unclean ..
