Matthew 12:45 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Seven other spirits — That is, a great many; a certain number being put for an uncertain: More wicked than himself — Whence it appears, that there are degrees of wickedness among the devils themselves: They enter in and dwell — For ever in him who is forsaken of God. So shall it be to this wicked generation — Yea, and to apostates in all ages.

Matthew 12:45

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
