Sorcery: A. Nouns

1.Pharmakia (or-EIA) (Eng; pharmacy etc.) primarily signified the use of medicine, drugs, spells; then, poisoning; then, sorcery, Gal. 5:20 R.V., "sorcery" (A.V., "witchcraft"), mentioned as one of "the works of the flesh." See also Rev. 9:21; 18:23.

In the Sept., Ex. 7:11,22; 8:7,18; Isa 47:9, 12.

In sorcery, the use of drugs, whether simple or potent, was generally accompanied by incantations and appeals to occult powers, with the provision of various charms, amulets, etc., professedly designed to keep the applicant or patient from the attention and power of demons, but actually to impress the applicant with the mysterious resources and powers of the sorcerer.
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words.

Then from a book I read, Who knows from which one, I have:

Pharmakia The usage of mind altering drugs for the expressed purpose of "altering your mind" is as the sin of witchcraft.

DRUGS
From the Greek word translated "sorceries" in the King James Bible we get the word pharmacy. Unfettered drug use will be common during the Tribulation. But even today, drug and alcohol use is skyrocketing out of control.

Drugs and alcohol are a way of life for many nonbelievers. Adopting a drug-riddled lifestyle during the Tribulation will not require any change for many inhabitants of the world--it will merely be intensified.

The Top Seven Sins Of The Tribulation

A passage we just reviewed, Revelation 9:20-21, lists the top seven sins of the Tribulation:

1. Rebellion against God ("they did not repent")
2. Worship of demons
3. Idolatry
4. Murders
5. Sorceries (drugs)
6. Sexual immorality
7. Thefts

You can get fired up all you want...doesn't bother me any. lol The world (nations) is on its way to judgment. IMHO
