Commentary on Matthew 8:29
The demons' recognition of Jesus as 'Son of God' demonstrates that spiritual beings (unlike many humans) clearly recognize Christ's divine identity. Their question 'art thou come hither to torment us before the time?' reveals they know their ultimate doom is certain, only its timing uncertain. This shows that mere knowledge of Christ's identity doesn't constitute saving faith—demons believe and tremble (James 2:19) but aren't saved. The 'time' refers to final judgment when demons will be cast into eternal punishment.
