A sorcery practitioner (sorcerer) claims to have supernatural powers to do magic, predict the future, and contact evil spirits through special words and objects. Sorcerers were present in:
The royal courts of Egypt (Exodus 7:11)
Assyria (Nahum 3:4)
Babylonia (Daniel 2:2)
Sorcery was not allowed in Israel (Deuteronomy 18:10). It was punishable by death (Exodus 22:18). But the Israelites still looked for sorcerers (2 Kings 17:17; 2 Chronicles 33:6; Micah 5:12). This made God angry (Isaiah 57:3; Malachi 3:5).
Paul listed sorcery as a sin (Galatians 5:20). The book of Revelation says that people who practice sorcery will be thrown into the lake of fire (Revelations 21:8). They will be separation from the righteous forever (Revelation 22:15).
