Listen from:
V.1-21 Yesterday, His power over nature and storms, today over demons. A picture of the world being influenced by Satan, and preferring Satan to God. The great power of God is able to drive away the evil power of Satan, but Satan persuades the people to drive away God in the Person of Jesus. The power of God is more terrible to man than the power of Satan. The swine probably are a picture of the end of Israel under Satan’s influence in the tribulation (see your chart). The man who is cured is quiet and wishes to be with Jesus. Possibly a picture of the remnant of Israel to be healed in the future during the tribulation period (see your chart).
V.22-43 Another picture of the relationship of God with Israel. Jesus came to heal Israel, but Israel was in fact, spiritually speaking, dead. When Jesus arrived, it was necessary to raise Israel from the dead, this is portrayed in the damsel. He came to do it the first time, but shall carry it out in the millennium.
V.25-34 But coming in before the final healing of the girl (Israel) a woman in deep need has individual faith, and she is completely healed. Sincerity is nice, but it is not enough. Faith is needed. Faith is always answered. He may make us wait, but He will not fail us.
V.35-43 The girl appears to be dead. Jesus raises her. So in the last days, Israel shall be restored! But it will be the Lord’s voice which will do it.
