DECEPTION
Be very wise in these perilous times, as it is written: Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 2 Timothy 3:13
Revelation 18:23 reveals a source of deception in the last days. Speaking of Babylon it says, "Your merchants were the greatest in the world, and you deceived the nations with your sorceries."
The Greek word translated here as sorceries is "pharmakeia." Consider the definitions of that word and the root word: medication, pharmacy, magic, a drug, druggist, pharmacist or poisoner, by extension a magician, sorcerer.
In our day, the merchants in the pharmaceutical industry are some of the most powerful in the world.
This is what the LORD says: "Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the LORD. Jeremiah 17:5
"But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. Jeremiah 17:7
Choose wisely. Pray and trust the LORD to guide you in all decisions.
