WORLD COMMERCE
ALSO SEE POPULATION
Today' commerce (2005) is clearly rivaling the sinful antics of Babylon of thousands of years ago. Revelation 18:1-3 Babylon has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for unclean spirits. Satan has set his foot in the door of today's commerce. Take a good look at all the heads of corporations and governments in our age. The Anti-Christ loves takeovers and consolidation. There are less and less people every day who are not controlled by the corporations they work for or must abide by.
For one example, if you compare the years 1972 to 2004 for commerce in the USA, we have less than 3 people running their own businesses and calling the shots compared to 100 people in 1972. The population has also doubled since then. 2.6 people in 2004 control what 100 did in 1972 commerce-wise.
Pride and quality are all gone since the trying individual is run around by the rich and uncaring. The quality of service to the common citizen of the USA is now absolutely appalling.
WALMART, COSTCO, HOME DEPOT, LOWES ETC. Are controlling the market by taking over businesses by running them out of business. The corporate owners have planned all of this out. They raise their prices as soon as there is no one left to buy from in that area. Their quality of service to the consumer is at an all time low, and their goal is to make it lower. Their employees are treated badly and it reflects in what they know about what they are selling you. In these buildings some can instantly sense the emptiness of hope and darkness of satan's age. Our governments in this new world have the power to stop this by simply taxing the conglomerates of retail establishments of over 20 personnel per location. But our politicians are supported by these people and not by small businessmen. In other words our politicians are supported by a small group of people with mountains of money. In present times 2.6 people control what 100 people did in 1972. 135 in 1960.
