We Are Legion

Luke 7

Jesus Restores a Demon-Possessed Man

²⁶ They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee. ²⁷ When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. ²⁸ When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!” ²⁹ For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
³⁰ Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”
“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him. ³¹ And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.

Most of us are familiar with this story from Luke 7 where then Jesus commanded the demonic horde possessing this man to go into a herd of pigs and spare them from being sent to the Abyss.

So it is interesting to me that there is a new movie coming out (in 2012) that is a documentary about the computer hackers that call themselves "anonymous".  These hackers (also called "Hacktivists) claim that they are behind the revolutions that are currently roiling the world, from the Arab Spring, to the Occupy Wallstreet to the U.S. Governments secret files being hacked into and they are saying that they could bring down the entire world's system if they really want to.

Now check out the name of this documentary;
We Are Legion- The Story of the Hacktivists

Watch the trailer to the movie here;

Could that just be a coincidence that this shadowy group of global computer-system hackers chose the same name as the demons who possessed this man 2000 years ago?  Or could it be one more wake up call for those of us who read the Bible and DON'T believe in coincidences?

What do you think?
