Yes, Kev, the woman of Rev 18 is arrayed in purple and scarlet colour. She sits upon a scarlet coloured beast, (Rev 17:v3,4). Scarlet has been a color of power, wealth and luxury since ancient times.
In her hand is a golden cup full of abomination and filthiness of her fornication. Upon her forehead a name written – MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. The woman was drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. This great whore has influenced the kings and the inhabitants of the earth, (17:v2), until finally they shall hate the whore, and give their kingdom over to the beast, (v16,17).
“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled”, (Rev 17:17). Remember, that God’s in charge and he will bring final judgment upon evil. In one day the woman, great city Babylon (v18) will be burned with fire, (Rev 18:8). Rest assured that God will perform his word on this. He will judge the beast, and the false prophet, who deceived those who received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped his image, (Rev 19:20).
This woman has filled up her cup to the full of her works of sins and iniquities. The merchants who traded her goods traded also of slaves and the souls of men, (Rev 18:13). Her merchants were the great men of the earth. Her sorceries, her “pharmakeia”, her witchcraft, her evil power over people and their affairs, deceived all the nations, (v23).
Webster’s Dictionary gives the root of sorcerer “sorz”, a lot, chance.
eg: taking the jab is taking “a chance”.
Jesus said, Behold, I have told you before. Matt 24:25
Paul reminded the believers, Remember ye not that when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Thess 2:5
” if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Rom10:9,10
Yes of course pharmaceutical is evil.
It is anti nature and the opposite of LIFE!
I study the derivation of words and know that ancient Greeks were superior Beings to our present ignorant culture which is so brainwashed into being influenced by the sorceryvof those who would try to Rule Over Life force.
And it shows just how insane and stupid this so called Science is because it’s NOT ANY TYPE OF SCIENCE because it is based on THEORY only .
I have no time for the b.s..and the petty manipulation and brainwashing they try.
Sure some things help our maladies but these are the natural remedies which are real and have no argument or leave side effects.
I wish people would hurry up and stop worshipping the phamaeceuticals.

Thanks for that Kev…a timely reminder.
Thanks for that, studied Revelations with a United church lay preacher in the late 70’s, they’re certainly following the bullshit book they’ve written
