“Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered human beings and vessels of bronze for your merchandise.” Ezekiel 27:13
The people trading with Tyre included human beings with vessels of bronze to trade for the merchandise Tyre had to offer. Human beings were nothing more than merchandise used for bargaining. Tyre would receive people in the trade that would fit their need within their city. In exchange for the human beings, the traders would receive the much desired and luxurious merchandise of Tyre.
America is willing to deal with trade partners who dehumanize the value of people while exalting the value of economic prosperity. In exchange, America uses human beings according to her own needs and purposes. This could happen in many ways. In order to be included in America’s economic and military clout, countries are willing to surrender the heart of their people to the will of the government of the United States. They become a proxy of America. That maters to God because all souls belong to Him, not to an earthly nation, “Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy; and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine.” Leviticus 20:26
America gives luxury and other merchandise to barter for the heart of the people but have abandoned giving the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the heart of the people. While countries give their people in exchange for economic prosperity, what will they give in exchange for the soul? “Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” Matthew 16:26 There is nothing in this material and economic world that we can give to redeem our soul. Jesus Christ gave Himself on the Cross for that purpose, “…who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.” Titus 2:14
We live in a world today where people are dehumanized to the point that the human spirit and conscience no longer exists. The entity that governs through thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors replaces our humanness. This entity hardens the human spirit to Jesus Christ as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. Human beings are being traded into the hands of the government of the beast for its own needs and purposes. Leaders of nations across the globe are willing to trade the heart and will of their people in exchange for inclusion, prosperity, and empowerment within the global culture. The masses of people in every city around the world are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
Until the day that this world’s economic system collapses (speaking of the global economy of the world government), human trafficking will continue, as quoted, “The merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her because no one buys their cargoes anymore— …cargoes of cinnamon and spice, of incense, myrrh and frankincense, of wine and olive oil, of fine flour and wheat; cattle and sheep; horses and carriages; and human beings sold as slaves.” Revelation 18:11,13 Click for a post on the description of the economic collapse of the global economy.
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
