Rev chapter 18 talk about the Fall of Babylon.
Rev 18:23 KJV And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy "Sorceries G5331"¹ were all nations deceived.
G5331¹ Original: φαρμακεία Transliteration: pharmakeia Phonetic: far-mak-i'-ah Thayer Definition: 1 the use or the administering of drugs 2 poisoning
Q: Who is the merchants of Babylon
Q: How do they Deceived All the Nations: Note it don't say All the people But Nations.
Love thy neighbor does not include non-jews in their beliefs. Merchants were travelers who traded in goods. I like to think that is why trader and traitor sound similar. https://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/merchant/
"Neighbour" meant countryman, which for Ancient Israelites (who had a confederacy of tribes or "nation-states" stemming from the same genetic stock, with a single monarchy ruling them) meant kinsmen.
Deu 28:43 "The sojourner who is among you rises higher and higher above you, but you come down lower and lower." Deu 28:44 "He lends to you, but you do not lend to him. He is the head, and you are the tail." Deu 28:45 "And all these curses shall come upon you, and they shall pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of YHWH your Elohim, to guard His commands and His laws which He commanded you."
Yeah.... NO. What version are you reading from? Some dumbed down version meant to mislead and enslave you. This must be your trainer. https://www.bitchute.com/video/D14aootn606f/
What That just means they consider themselves Jews first anywhere on earth. Say a black guy moves to Germany is he now German?
You left out the most important context for those passages. If they do not keep Gods/Hashem Law those are the punishments/curses God/Hashem will cast upon them. What bible version are you using?
Love it, good insight!
It don't say... Who is the merchants...
Even when I'm drunk my grammar isn't that lame
