As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
The Word study is for my purposes to clarify the content. The Word is Torment / Torture as they are interchangeable in the context of this examination of what demons asked Christ.
St. Matthew
Chapter 8
29And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
My interest is the appointed time when torment begins, and the reality of torment.
It is a complete in the torment, it is testing of a spirit that can not be changed. It is applying torture to provide an answer, to vex with grievous pain, to distress to make it a struggle so that you are like in a storming sea.....like you are captive in a firestorm thrown about in it like an ashen ember.
basanizó: to tortureOriginal Word: βασανίζω
Part of Speech: Verb1. properly, to test (metals) by the touchstone.
2. to question by applying torture.
3. to torture
4. universally, to vex with grievous pains (of body or mind), to torment:
5. Passive to be harassed, distressed; of those who at sea are struggling with a head wind
This is an incapacitation, a trial by pain to force the reality onto a demon filled with madness.
Each of you can indeed deny what you are, but the fact is there is a trial by fire which will convict you in an eternal struggle you are still deceiving yourself that you do not deserve this punishment, not moment by moment, a time no longer exists, so every moment is just more eternity.
