And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. - Revelation 18:23
Understand that the original Greek word for “sorceries” that is used in this passage is φαρμακείᾳ (pharmakeia); which is the root of the English word Pharmacy. Understand that this is not the only Greek word that is used in the New Testament for this term; in Acts 8:11 the Greek word μαγεία (mageiais) is used. This has to make one question why John specifically used the term φαρμακείᾳ (pharmakeia), instead of μαγεία (mageiais).
This leads me to believe that the ultimate deception of the nations will come through the big pharmaceutical industry.
Just something that to think about that seems very relevant in this age that we are currently living in.
Do not be deceived with the rest of the nations, but pray for their salvation.
Much Love!
