In Revelation 9:21, 'sorceries' take the place of the eighth commandment, 'thou shalt not bear false witness.' The three other evils, which are murder, fornication, and theft, are also named. 'To bear false witness,' signifies in the natural sense acting the part of a false witness, lying, and slandering. In the spiritual sense, it signifies confirming and persuading that falsity is true, and that evil is good. In this way, it is clear that sorcery is persuasion to falsity, and so destruction of truth.
