Anyone who lived and then died will make unclean anyone touching his or her corpse. From this we derive the meaning of an unclean spirit.
[Numbers 19] (…) anyone who touches one who has been slain or who has died naturally, or a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean (…)
Slain person, dead, human bone and grave.
[Leviticus 19:31] ‘Do not turn to mediums or spiritists; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the LORD your God.
One becomes defiled, unclean but with what, a grave a bone or a corpse? No. One becomes unclean when dealing with spiritism and playing with the dead; a realm we ought to never disturb.
[1Samuel 28:15] Then Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?”
[1Chronicles 10:13-14] So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it, and did not inquire of the LORD.
From this we have the meaning of demons, which are unclean spirits. Anyone possessed with these entities lives an unclean life even if one keeps on repeating some ancestor’s mantra. For this one must die… according to that dead spirit’s “desire.”
Examples:
1. Touching a human corpse makes one unclean
2. The tent in which someone died become unclean and those that have entered that tent are also unclean for seven days. Then they must OBEY the Lord by purifying the tent and all that is in it as well as themselves.
A. Realization of uncleanness
B. Thorough bath on the third day (with prayer, it’s a good thing)
C. Thorough bath on the seventh day (with prayer of thanksgiving)
3. Anyone who in the open field touches one who has been slain with a sword or who has died naturally, or a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean for seven days.
[Numbers 19:11-16] ‘The one who touches the corpse of any person shall be unclean for seven days. (…) ‘Anyone who touches a corpse, the body of a man who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the LORD; and that person shall be cut off from Israel. (…) when a man dies in a tent: everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is in the tent shall be unclean for seven days.
‘Every open vessel, which has no covering tied down on it, shall be unclean. ‘Also, anyone who in the open field touches one who has been slain with a sword or who has died naturally, or a human bone or a grave, shall be unclean for seven days.
These things define something unclean and Jesus cast out those unclean spirits.
Example: the ‘Legion’ man lived among the graves of Roman Legionaries, he was polluted with the violence that was frozen in time. The man gashed stones against himself and did harm to his body; he played out the past gore in the now. After Jesus permitted those demons to possess the herd of swine; He sent the entire herd into the sea where the unclean ( not kosher) animals had drowned; thus the (the unclean spirits) demons went back to Sheol where they await the final judgment. The man was free and in his own (right) mind.
Combine it all together and see what an unclean spirit really is. And if you do so then you will also realize this: whoever is unwilling to learn and absorb the bright light of truth is stuck in the past; hence in something dead and outdated. When one broods in something called well-established and something repetitious one remains in the stale and the dead. For if there was nothing new then one is justified, but if there is higher and more intelligent knowledge coming forth then why adhering to the old? Does the honor of our predecessors is so important? They won't bother you, call you a heretic nor execute you anymore. Will they turn in their graves? Are you really desecrating the memory of the dead by drinking the new wine which the Almighty is pouring out today?
The Hebrew Bible is written in the present tense only. The tendency to make a dogma out of God's Word and thus deprive a reader of the freedom to be led of the Holy Spirit without indoctrination is widespread. This tendency is actually evil upon which falls God's wrath. A flesh dominated subjective interpretations of Scripture steals a very important component - the ability to trust and lean on the guidance of the Holy Spirit. An official and often parochial dogma robs people of freedom; hence the assumption that people are simple and dumb is more than an insult. I call it a slap in God's face.
The time has come to educate people and that pleases the LORD for He said, [Jeremiah 3:15-16] "Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you on knowledge and understanding. It shall be in those days when you are multiplied and increased in the land,” declares the LORD, they will no longer say, ‘The ark of the covenant of the LORD.’ "And it will not come to mind, nor will they remember it, nor will they miss it, nor will it be made again."
The religious object like the Ark of the Covenant, which fascinates many today, shall not be made again, nor be missed; because religiousness will be replaced with knowledge and understanding, which is the true food God feeds you with.
THE NEW IS OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE JUST AS ANYTHING DECAYING AND OLD IS OF THE SPIRIT OF DEATH.
