.2.........Now a herd of many swine was feeding there on the mountain. So they (begged) Him that He would (permit) them to enter them. And He permited them.

@engrtee

pictures is right. Demons are spirits, spirits don't die, and that their time of judgement had not come.

God will hear you out. He is a listening God.

They asked to be evicted into the herds of pig and so He obliged/granted the wish/request

It was a case of, foul or unclean spirits allowed to enter unclean animals, which incidentally is what the pigs were

Jesus knew the demons will soon be homeless without a body, when the herds of pigs come to a sudden and unexpected end after the demons entered them.

Classic example of killing two birds with one stone

The demons needed a body with which to operate on earth with

and thought next to nothing, the herd of pigs will do

unfortunately this was short lived - the reprieve, and their calculation or scheming backfired them back to square one

Because they prayed. This teaches/reminds us that answers to our prayers and wishes is not clear enough proof that one is doing the right thing or living the right life. The transformation by the Word is the sure proof.

Naturally sometimes when casting our devils some do talk and make request like " let me go" or "don't cast me out of here" You can decide where they go. Into the sea or desert.

.but why Jesus allow them into pigs could be bevause pigs are unclean animal according to Jewish law. Jesus couldn't kill the demons . It's better they enter pigs than enter humans . But the pigs rather died than have demons in their bodies.
