Revelation 18:23
23 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.
( . . . for by thy SORCERIES (PHARMACIES) were all nations deceived.) SORCERIES in the Greek is the word: Pharmakeia which is translated into English as Pharmacy means the use of medicine, drugs or spells -- associated with WITCHCRAFT -- magic, sorcery, enchantment ...(Exodus 22:18; John 8:32; John 14:17; John 8:36.) So, the antiChrist uses SORCERIES (PHARMACIES) to DECEIVE the whole world, takes over the world, to have the world (satan's family--those NOT BORN AGAIN, NOT CHRISTIAN,) worship him, by accepting his mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:11-18.)
John 8:32
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
John 8:36
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Numbers 6:22-27
22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:
25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.
John 8:32
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
John 8:36
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Note: PARTIAL Truth, although Truth, can easily be used as deception! That's why the Apostle Paul declared, Acts 20:27. Satan, in the Garden of Eden, used PARTIAL Truth which deceived Eve, Genesis 3:1-24. Satan quotes Holy Scripture, and again used PARTIAL Truth to try and deceived the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth -- as if that was possible, Matthew 4:1-10.
