“For thy merchants were the great men of the Earth; for by thy sorceries were all the nations deceived.” — Rev. 18:23
Scripture says that these “merchants” of Mystery Babylon are “the great (powerful) men of the earth.”
It also says that their power is attained by “deception” and “sorceries” (ie. trickery and mental confusion - like being drugged).
To discover who these “great men of the earth” are we only need to identify the Earth’s most powerful merchants. Who are the greatest “merchandisers” of our day? And, what is their “merchandise?”
Mayer Amschel Rothschild, the father of European Banking, made this statement in 1790:
“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws.”
This statement has proven to be a truism. We can also see that if this principle works on a national basis, it will work on an international basis as well. Whoever issues and controls the money of the world . . controls the world.
