Jesus casting out demon into swine Painting

This painting is not one of my most popular as it looks a bit frightening, however I guess in real life it was frightening to witness.... In my paintings, inspired by the New Testament, i attempt to paint the miracle behind the scene. Often in religious art the literal scene is painted i.e what the eye can see. I attempt to look underneath, with artist licence :) So, in this case, Jesus, instead of looking like a man,he appears as a Red triangle with an eye facing us and 2 faces either side representing His Trinitarian nature. But also in this work I make a nod towards Revelation 9, and the sounding of the 5th trumpet (artist licence)...as after the Demon entered the herd of pigs the pigs rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned - what happened to the Demon then (after the pigs drowned)?, I cant think they would have been allowed back to possess other poor souls? Did they ultimately end up in the place they didnt want to go? In the Abyss. In this painting I assume they did, and thus thats why I paint the Demon as described in the Abyss / Bottomless pit of Revelation 9, ''they were scorpion tailed warhorses, having a man's face with lion's teeth. Their hair was long like that of a woman's and flew with locust-like wings''. So why marry the casting out demon story with the sounding of the fifth trumpet? Well in my mind, I guess that as a Triune God, He is not constrained by our time-line so for Him these 2 events are connected: the demons (assumedly) being held in the Abyss from the casting out of demon story and the unlocking of the Abyss in Revelation 9.. Im inter-playing between, Jesus' time on earth and His second coming. Im not making a Theological statement here, Im just using artist licence to paint a picture. Maybe Im joining dots that arent there, but heyho :) Code for the painting: Red triangle with eye and and 2 faces either-side = Jesus in Trinity Orange halo + white winged angels with 5 trumpets = The sounding of the 5th trumpet Pink pig = swine Brown man with broken chains = Demon possessed man Creatures in pink stars = Demon splashing into water / Abyss Luke 8:26-39 26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes,[a] 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. 32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned. 34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him. *Revelation 9 - 5th trumpet The fifth trumpet prompts a personified star to fall from heaven. The star is given the key to the bottomless pit. After opening it, the smoke that rises out, darkens the air and blocks the sunlight. Then from out of the smoke, the Locusts were unleashed. They were scorpion tailed warhorses, having a man's face with lion's teeth. Their hair was long like that of a woman's and flew with locust-like wings. They were crowned with golden crowns and protected with iron-like breastplates. They were commanded by their king, Abaddon, to torment any man who does not have the seal of God on their forehead, by using their scorpion-like tails. It was also made clear to them that they must not kill anyone during their five-month mission of torment.
