Pharmacia/'SPELLS'/potions mentiioned in Scripture, and in particular relation to the days we are living in. When drugs are used
to "control" others
in various ways, they fall under the category of Sorcery. I know this may sound strange but think "witch's potions".
The actual wordage is as follows: From the GREEK:
WORD #5331 - pharmakeia stems from word #5332 pharmacy, medication; also, magic, sorcery, witchcraft
WORD #5332 - pharmakeus - from pharmakon (a drug, SPELL-GIVING potion); a druggist (pharmacist)
or poisoner; magician,
sorcerer
WORD #5333 - pharmakos - the same as 5332, sorcerer
Additionally, this
is mentioned in Revelation 18:23 as a sign of the last days. It is wicked.
