A sorcerer is a person who engages in some form of magic in an effort to connect with a deity (Revelation 21:8) and perhaps via the deity to exercise control over another person. In the present context, it could describe those who seek God’s favour outside of Jesus Christ (wash their robes
). But their efforts fail; their allotted recompense leaves them outside.
15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
