satan is the tempter, whose mission it is to see all of humankind, including the new-agers, witches, warlocks, and satanists who worship him

• robbed of their identity, purpose, and authority
• spiritually dead
• ruined (John 10:10-29).

Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness? 

(Romans 6:16) He achieves this when we submit to his temptations and become, even momentarily, slaves to sin.

Reading through Leviticus Chapter Twenty-four, I see another layer of this evil: When I sin, it always costs me. I harm myself, even if I’ve hurt someone else. In other words, I lose whatever I take from you.

8May ruin befall them by surprise;
 may the net they hid ensnare them;
 may they fall into the hazard they created.

10Let the wicked fall into their own nets,
 while I pass by in safety.

(Psalm 35:8; Psalm 141:10). In any way that I agree with evil to plot against you, I find I am also ensnared. Sin is lawless, and it has no grace for me as a co-conspirator with the father of lies.

In verses seventeen to twenty-three of Leviticus, the picture of the tolerant church unequally yoked with the world and allowing evil to operate unchecked continues. The world system according to the satanic order welcomes and approves of sin. It accepts a form of God having no power, because it has been made by human hands and ideology.

4Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,
 but those who keep the law resist them.

(Proverbs 28:4, Berean Study Bible). In the twenty-fourth chapter of Leviticus, the passive, disjointed children of God come together—submitting to Him, resisting the devil, and refusing to tolerate the offspring of believers at peace with satan.
