Matthew 12:43-45
When the unclean spirit, etc. The application of these three
verses is found in "even so it shall be unto this wicked generation"
(Matthew 12:45), the Jews. With an occasional tendency to repentance,
as under the preaching of John, they became worse and worse until they
crucified the Lord and were destroyed. A man with an unclean spirit, a
demon, is chosen to represent them. He goeth out (transient repentance),
returns with seven other evil spirits worse than himself (a relapse
into sin), and the last state is worse than the first, more wicked and
more wretched. So generally with those who dally with sin.
