Demons in Dry and Desolate Places

Where do demons like to hang out?

You know, other than the DMV, the Grammy Awards, or in that sauce they put in Chipotle wraps.

Where would you go- or perhaps a better way to say it, where should you avoid- if you want to stay away from demons?

Well if you asked the writers of the Bible, they had an idea about where demons liked to congregate. I mean, certainly you can find a demon just about anywhere. But what locations of the earth were considered the domain of demons?

Jesus made a strange (almost off-handed) comment in

Matthew 12:43, where He said:

When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none.

So what did Jesus mean about demons- AKA unclean spirits- who go through dry, waterless places when they are cast out of a human?

I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible. 

Turn to Matthew 12, and let’s get weird.
