Pharmakeia ( Associated with Last Days & Witchcraft )

[h=1]PHARMAKEIA:[/h] Drugs and Sorcery at the End of the Age. --A. Herstad [SIZE=+0]Back[/SIZE]
[HR][/HR] Most of us, when asked for Biblical signs warning of the nearness of the last days will mention Israel, or perhaps the Global Economy. Some will mention the famines, earthquakes and diseases; the "wars and rumors of wars" that sweep our planet.
Few, however, will think to mention DRUGS, SORCERY and religious DECEPTION as significant of the end times.
Even though these are foreshadowed in Scripture, they are only brought to notice through careful study with a Bible in one hand and newspaper in the other. So if you think your favorite recreational drug "isn't mentioned in the Bible", you have another think coming, because what you are doing falls under the heading of "pharmakeia", or in English, "sorcery", as we will prove in the following paragraphs.
The worldwide spread of psychedelic (Peyote, LSD); narcotic (heroin); and hypnotic (hashish) drugs fulfills the prophetic scriptures as one o of two forms of SORCERY that would lead the nations into rejection of Christ, and bring them into their final destruction as slaves of the Man of Sin, the Antichrist, under a New World Order at the end of the age.
Some may wonder why marijuana/hashish is included here. It's included because it, like the other drugs, produces an ALTERED STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS that leaves the user open to hypnotic, and therefore demonic suggestion. In the Old Testament, God forbids his people to engage in "enchantment" (hypnosis) and witchcraft (sorcery).
The following Hebrew words as defined in Strong's Concordance illustrate this altered state and it's occultic roots:
Strong's # 2267: cheber (kheh'-ber); from 2266; a society; also a spell: KJV-- + charmer (-ing), company, enchantment, X wide. (DIC)

Strong's # 3908: lachash (lakh'-ash);from 3907; properly, a whisper, i.e. by implication, (in a good sense) a private prayer, ( in a bad one) an incantation; concretely, an amulet: KJV-- charmed, earring, enchantment, orator, prayer. (DIC)

Strong's # 3909: lat (lawt); a form of 3814 or else participle from 3874; properly, covered, i.e. secret; by implication, incantation; also secrecy or (adverb) covertly: -enchantment, privily, secretly, softly. (DIC)

If you really want a strict definition of Pharmakeia.......most of the stuff people are prescribed on a daily basis meets the definition. Like you said, consciousness altering drugs.......i think we have over 5-10% of the population on them. It's an interesting subject to consider. I wonder is which is worse in the grand scheme of things.....the natural ones (Psilocybin mushrooms, Peyote) or the man made ones (Paxil, Zyprexa, Etc....)

don't forget alcohol

It is strange how well groomed and almost "perfect" those on drugs often appear.
Nice the way you articulate your posts , the topics and scriptures.

That a heroine addict works, exercises all the time, dresses nice and has lots of money and loads of friends.... and how many years they can keep up the charade tip they meet God for they can lie to humans and people but not to God.
They can have every one in world fooled, but not God.

Then theres those who look like they on drugs when they are not. or who drink once in a blue moon. But that can be enough a sin , specially if one binge drinks.


There was a war with pharmaceutical companies as crime occured.
These companies were making dangerous medicines and paying for them to pass "test" and be given to people.
Also paying drs and sending them on holidays if they prescribed them to patients.
It was a big deal in news papers in scandinavia that doctors were being paid holidays and money in exchange for giving patients these medications.
Medications that later became banned.
Some times medications were forsed upon patients who said no and did not have symptoms they could not deal with and the medicine made them sicker and sicker.


Apparently this was used in war.
They may take somwe one torture and then medicate and say "anything they say is madness".
It occured to war prisoners and others they secretly had as enemies or wanted steal from like oil or somet hing else.
Very calculated and it was a set up and covered up to look good.
Things were not as they seemed.
They also had insider crime and spies in churches etc

It seems those take drugs often inject in places like ankle to cover up they do drugs.
There are all these new methods of taking drugs so it can not bedetected easy.
Just look at the doping scandals in sports.
These people are happy to accept medals and praise and money and do volunteer work and charity for "anti drug" when they infact are doing it themselves and doing much bad things.
they seem perfect and feel that way perhaps but many bad crimes they done with all they are, to many times.
They say they are perfect roll models but they may be fake models for it is not real.
It is a lie and hypocrisy.
They may use other peoples work and take credit for it and list goes on.
There no shame for they feel so good and theres lots of them doing it.
Injecting blood was a big trend for a while.


I only want take medication is truly needed and what type medication.... who made it..., why ,...what....
Interesting when one reads about medications and how sideeffects sometimes can make you mad, sick, kill you.
Ontop of that using 5 - 10 medications enough for a horse on often young innocent people may ruin years and years make them dru le and so forth.



I saw a hypnotherapist and he played a cd for me he made himself.
It frightens me now as evil things can occur with it and brain washing.
Water running and he whispered so did not hear loud.
I wne through inner torment that period.
Have met people who do hypnotherapy, acupuncture, magic and acupuncture is good but it can be used maliciously as well.


Not every one can drink alcohol.
I can not.
Depends on background and etc.
Wish could drink half glass wine with dinner once a month or a cold beer once a month or a whiskey.....mouthful...
But I shall not every touch it again so help me god.


And all the antidepressants .... but when the real cure for that is more simple sometimes it enough see how that person been treated or been through....and no love or social network or support.... medication is not first goer but the true reason and cause for depression?


Natural medications used properly professionaly are very good.
But there is so much money to make.

Heard stories about educated people making very wealthy people sick through behaviours treating them , pshycology and through medicating them,.
spellingwritten sorry.


I beleive there is beautiful medication , made with love by professionals but there is loads of very destructive medications.
Many medication say on side effects can make you sick and list of symptoms were incredibly bad.
