Merchandise of slaves and souls of men

In my previous studies ' Call to come out' and ' One hour with Messiah and one hour with the beast' we saw that the wise virgins (elect) came out hearing the voice of the false prophet being deceived and in slumber along with the foolish virgins until they heard the voice of Alahim asking them to come out of Mystery Babylon so that they are not partakers of her plagues.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Till this point of hearing this call the wise virgins had no clue what state they were in. Alahim brought all to the threshing floor to separate the wheat from the tares. From their perspective they saw safety in coming out of the churches until there was a separation of wheat and tares. In this study we will see how Alahim shows us the kings of the earth and the merchants who were waxed rich by the delicacies of Mystery Babylon were buying and selling slaves and souls of men.


Rev 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
Rev 18:10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her;for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Rev 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Rev 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

Here the kings of the earth and the merchants stood afar off lamenting for Mystery Babylon and its also says no one is buying their merchandise. A closer observation of the scriptures above shows that the kings of the earth who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her shall bewail her and lament for her when they see the judgment of the whore.

Why would the kings of the earth mourn, lament and weep over Mystery Babylon whereas Alahim tells his people in the next few verses below to rejoice that he has avenged them?

Rev 18:20  Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for Alahim hath avenged you on her.  

All this while we had the kings of the earth and these merchants as elect in view but it is clear from scriptures Why would elect mourn, weep and lament over Satan's beastly spiritual kingdom which has destroyed so many souls with her wine of astonishment? Before we go any further let's examine 'kings of the earth' from Alahim's word.

Psa 2:2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the YAHUAH, and against his anointed, saying, 

Psa 2:3  Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 

The kings of the earth in view here are the rulers of Israel (Pharasees, high priest, priests etc) who stood up against Messiah and had him crucified.

Mr 3:6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.

Not forgetting the parable of the rich man and Lazarus where the rich man is a picture of National Israel who was a type of MERCHANT being rich in covenants, giving of the law, promises,glory etc. The rich man is clothed in purple and fine linen. When we view the final outcome of this rich man he was worse than the BEGGAR Lazarus.

Ro 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of Alahim, and the promises

Lu 16:19 ¶  There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:

Yet these people rejected the Messiah and crucified him because Alahim's covenant was a spiritual covenant with the Israel of Alahim and National Israel stood as a type of the Heavenly Jerusalem. They were a type of being rich as Alahim sent them prophets, gave them the law, they saw the mighty acts of Alahim and finally Alahim sent his only begotten Son and yet they rejected their creator when he came to them.

Joh 1:11  He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 

When we look at Mystery Babylon we see she is clothed with purple and scarlet. She is decked with gold and precious stones.

Re 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

The purple, scarlet, gold and precious stones are merchandise of deceit because there is only one true Merchant and that is Messiah. Mystery Babylon is Satan's kingdom counterfeiting the merchandise of Messiah and is presenting herself as a MERCHANT with costly and valuable MERCHANDISE.

National Israel also portrayed costly merchandise but they were bankrupt and under the wrath of Alahim because they did not understand his covenant. They held on to false interpretation of Alahim's law and observed it carnally whereas Alahim's law is spiritual.

We see the same paradox language in Ezekiel 28 where it speaks of Satan being covered with every precious stone, the sardius, topaz, the diamond etc and by the multitude of his MERCHANDISE he is filled with VIOLENCE. Isn't this clear that his MERCHANDISE is of DECEIT and is paradox at first sight? 

Eze 28:12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Yahuah GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.

 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Alahim; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of Alahim; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Alahim: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

While even elect are viewed as kings of the earth and merchants taking forth the merchandise of Messiah in scriptures the kings of the earth and the merchants weeping, wailing and mourning over Mystery Babylon are those who think they have come out of her and are standing afar off her for fear of her judgement. This can only be discerned through spiritual vs spiritual. 

They heard the voice of the false prophet proclaiming that the bridegroom is coming and that Babylon is fallen and they have come out of their churches but their hearts are still with Mystery Babylon seen with the picture of their weeping and wailing over Mystery Babylon.

Now that we have seen the MERCHANDISE of deceit from passages from Ezekiel 28, Luke 16:19 let's closely examine the merchandise of the 'kings of the earth' and 'merchants' in the Rev 18:11-13 passages

Rev 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her;for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
Rev 18:12 The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
Rev 18:13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

A midst the merchandise of gold silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple etc Alahim shows us that these are actually counterfeit merchandise because with these their merchandise also consists of slaves and souls of men. Now that's alarming because if the kings of the earth and merchants in view are the elect then let me tell you no elect would buy and sell/trade slaves and souls of men. That's abominable work of false prophets.Please read the below scriptures carefully. The false prophets are the ones who through their pretending words (feigned words) MAKE MERCHANDISE OF YOU. They are the ones dealing in buying and selling souls.

2Pe 2:1 ¶ But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Yahuah that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

 3 ¶ And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise (emporeuomai) of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

 The Greek word for Merchandise is ‘emporeuomai’ which means ‘ buy and sell’. So it’s talking of false prophets trading souls of men.

The merchants of the earth are weeping and mourning that no man is buying the souls of men anymore. The gold, silver etc seems to be paradox because elect never ever bought or sold souls of men. The law of Alahim forbade making merchandise of brethren. The law is spiritual in nature.

Deu 24:7 If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and maketh merchandise of him, or selleth him; then that thief shall die; and thou shalt put evil away from among you.

Anyone found doing that was to be KILLED.Satan’s merchandise is buying and selling souls of men and so are the false prophets.Didn't Messiah speak of the Pharisees who compassed sea and land to make one convert but yet they made him two fold more the child of hell then they themselves?

Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

Coming back to the Rev 18 passages. These false prophets are come out of Mystery Babylon physically declaring they are not part of her. They hate the whore and make her naked but actually they are following her doctrines.They continue buying and selling souls of men by proclaiming Babylon is fallen is fallen but still teach false doctrines making merchandise of slaves and souls of men. But Alahim uses this against them by opening the eyes of the elect who once were part of their merchandise and came out hearing the voice of the false prophet and now they are are not being their merchandise anymore. If you search scriptures ‘kings of the earth’ is used both for elect and non elect (heathen). I suggest you look up kings of the earth to see this.If you read 2 Peter 2:1-3 the false prophets deny the Yahuah that bought them. What this means is that they looked like the elect, they heard the voice of the cry to come out but the voice was of the false prophet of the beastly kingdom and even the elect heard the same voice but then in Rev 18 Alahim tells elect to come out from HER and this voice the false prophets don’t hear. They continue to lament, mourn and weep for Mystery Babylon because their heart is there. They are still part of this Wickedness.

2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Yahuah that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 

The way of truth shall be evil spoken of. At first glance you may have read the passage to mean that people would speak against the way of truth because of these false prophets but that's not what the passage means. What it means is that the way of truth will be blasphemed

2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

The Greek word for 'evil spoken of' is 'blasphemeo' which means 'blasphemed'

The passage would read as 

2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be BLASPHEMED

Only when the kings of the earth who fornicated with the whore and the merchants who traded represents both the elect and the non elect it makes sense. The elect and non elect (10 virgins)came out at the false call of the beast and When Alahim calls the elect out of Mystery Babylon, it's when the elect realize their folly and hence Rev 18:20 says:

Re 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for Alahim hath avenged you on her.

The rest who came out remain mourning over their loss that they can no longer trade even though by this deception they are still trading with their poisonous false doctrines in making merchandise of souls of men.

While these men wail, lament and mourn over Mystery Babylon the elect thank Alahim for rescuing them.

Re 19:1 ¶ And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Yahuah our Alahim:

 2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

 3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

 4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshiped Alahim that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.
