Rebellion is as the Sin of Witchcraft

Hidden deep within the pages of 1 Samuel are seven little words that most people, including most Christians, fail to seriously consider: “rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft” (1 Samuel 15:23). This subtle warning from God doesn’t even comprise a full verse of scripture and is very easy to pass over, yet it speaks volumes regarding how Satan and his army of evil spirits increase their power and strengthen their influence over all mankind. Deeper reflection on these words make the implication unavoidable: the more that men defy God’s moral laws, the more the forces of hell gain control over them. In this thought-provoking journey through scripture, John Hunt attempts to expose both the truth and the consequences of these words, because failure to understand how Satan and his infernal minions gain power in this world only strengthens their hand all the more.
