In the biblical context, such a state is often associated with spiritual turmoil, divine judgment, or the influence of evil spirits.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, madness is sometimes depicted as a consequence of disobedience to God. <a href="/deuteronomy/28-28.htm">Deuteronomy 28:28</a> states, "The LORD will afflict you with madness, blindness, and confusion of mind." This verse is part of the curses that would befall Israel if they failed to obey God's commandments. Here, madness is portrayed as a divine punishment, a state of mental chaos resulting from turning away from God's laws.<br><br>The account of King Saul provides a narrative example of a leader who experienced a form of madness. After disobeying God, Saul was tormented by an evil spirit. <a href="/1_samuel/16-14.htm">1 Samuel 16:14</a> notes, "Now the Spirit of the LORD had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the LORD tormented him." Saul's irrational behavior, including his attempts to kill David, can be seen as manifestations of his crazed state, driven by jealousy and spiritual unrest.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of being crazed or out of one's mind is often linked to demonic possession. The Gospels recount several instances where Jesus encounters individuals possessed by demons, leading to erratic and self-destructive behavior. In <a href="/mark/5.htm">Mark 5:1-20</a>, Jesus heals a man possessed by a legion of demons. The man lived among the tombs, unable to be restrained, and exhibited crazed behavior until Jesus cast the demons into a herd of pigs.<br><br>The Apostle Paul also addresses the idea of a sound mind in contrast to madness. In <a href="/2_timothy/1-7.htm">2 Timothy 1:7</a> , Paul writes, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." The term "self-control" can be understood as a sound mind, suggesting that a life led by the Holy Spirit is marked by rationality and peace, in contrast to the chaos of a crazed state.<br><br><b>Spiritual Implications</b><br><br>From a spiritual perspective, the Bible suggests that a crazed state can result from a lack of alignment with God's will. Whether through divine judgment, as seen in the Old Testament, or through spiritual oppression, as depicted in the New Testament, madness is often portrayed as a departure from the peace and order that God desires for His people.<br><br>The remedy for such a state is found in repentance, faith, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. The biblical narrative consistently points to the restoration of a sound mind through a relationship with God, emphasizing the importance of spiritual health and obedience to divine commandments.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>imp. & p. p.</I>) of Craze.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/miller/the_city_of_delight/chapter_iv_the_travelers.htm"><span class="l">The Travelers</span></a> <br><b>...</b> And Titus advances with four legions.
