Exploration of Stage 1: Infestation
Introduction
Welcome back, dear readers! In this enlightening series, we will delve into the profound subject of demonization and curses. In today’s installment, we’ll examine the first of four stages—Infestation. But first, if you missed the introductory passage outlining the series, make sure to read it here. Now, let’s venture into the intriguing world of infestation, its Biblical basis, and real-world examples.
The Concept of Infestation: A Biblical Context
Infestation is rooted in Old Testament writings where it is likened to demonic possession. However, in New Testament parlance, it is translated to “demonization.” It involves the presence of demonic entities in one’s property rather than oneself. Essentially, the demonic entities can’t reach you but manage to make their presence felt through objects you own.
Scriptural Support:
The concept of demonic attachment to places or objects can be found in various scriptures. For instance, Isaiah 34:14 (KJV) talks about the desolation of Edom, where demons make their dwellings.
Examples of Infestation:
- Haunted Houses: Spirits may attach themselves to homes, particularly those with a dark history such as death, murder, or human sacrifice.
- Scriptural Support: The Bible mentions unclean spirits inhabiting desolate places in Matthew 12:43 (KJV).
- Possessed Objects: Objects like books, pictures, or even pets can become conduits for demonic activity.
- Scriptural Support: While the Bible does not explicitly discuss possessed objects, it warns against idolatry and using items for evil practices, as in Deuteronomy 7:25 (KJV).
- Disturbed Lands: Properties where heinous acts like murder or human sacrifice have occurred can attract negative energies.
- Scriptural Support: In Numbers 35:33 (KJV), the land is described as defiled by the shedding of blood.
