Trying to figure it out... Having trouble. Could you maybe elaborate?I get this is a random thought that may be nothing. But concerning your topic I think of Acts 16:16-19 ‘One day as we were going down to the place of prayer, we met a slave girl who had a spirit that enabled her to tell the future. She earned a lot of money for her masters by telling fortunes. 17 She followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, and they have come to tell you how to be saved.”
18 This went on day after day until Paul got so exasperated that he turned and said to the demon within her, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.” And instantly it left her.
19 Her masters’ hopes of wealth were now shattered, so they grabbed Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities at the marketplace.
It is the ‘her masters’ hopes of wealth were now shattered’, their hopes of gain was gone…that makes me consider it with your topic.

My mind did a weird thing also when I read it. Here in the US, the place you go to get health insurance is now called the marketplace. Don’t know…just what my mind saw when it said they dragged them before the authorities at the marketplace…
Yeah I'm confused lol
But that might just be me not being able to correlate the two.
The most I can think of is us basically slaves to the system in an evil world and because we're being set free from that bondage, we cannot depend on the "master" and the master is being judged?
Is that right, @VictoryinJesus ? I may be way off.

Does post #27 resonate with you?all of the above because I really don’t know. Except she has reminded me of the whore in Revelation, where they wail seeing her reduced to ashes because her riches are spoiled? Interesting is the spirit of divination or fortune telling was making them wealthy and getting them gain…with that spirit cast out their reaction reminds me of wailing …not that the spirit was cast out and she freed …but wailing because their using of ‘a slave girl’ for selfish gain had been spoiled?
I vaguely remember a verse about men doing mighty deeds…can’t find it.
From Rev 18, and this is to Babylon, which I believe represents a world government like the NWO:
The light of a lamp
will never shine in you again.
The voice of bridegroom and bride
will never be heard in you again.
Your merchants were the world’s important people.
By your magic spell all the nations were led astray.
In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people,
of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”
That word magic spell is usually sorceries, pharmakeia, which is where we derived the word "pharmacy" from. This is something that has to deceive not just a country, but ALL nations.
Recently listened to a portion of one of the 8 hour conference calls from the FDA. 5 lives lost on every 1 life saved. I'll try to find it if anyone wants it.
Is this the one you are thinking of?
Daniel 11:32 KJV
And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
Much love!
Hi Fluffy, I missed you. Good questions. I wish I knew the answers. Right now I am hoping the answer will present itself right on time when I need it.IF this whole thing was the precursor to the mark of the beast, which I think it could be...
1. I think we would go before that time. I don't believe we would be here.
2. BUT if we didn't, how would you survive?
You wouldn't be able to drive because you couldn't afford it.
You wouldn't need a prepped pantry full of 10+ years of food. You wouldn't have a pantry.
I think the Christians would all be nomadic. Maybe we would barter and forage. Maybe we would just have to stick really close together.
But I think of Luke 9, Jesus told the 12 to go with nothing. I feel like it was an act of faith for them and that the Lord would provide for them on their journey.
And yes, it will be the world. I see it lining up.Wow…
Yes and that is an intense one and if you think about it, the pharmaceutical industry IS probably the most important in the world. Im not sure what would be more important, food or medicine...And yes, it will be the world. I see it lining up.
We come out of a great tribulation. Whether that means we go through one and then come out, or never deal with it and come out being rescued, I don't really know.
what if that spider thought you were roommates, and his job was keeping the place mite-free loloh no, you misunderstand - the SPIDER did it. Even more reason to fear them…

I would think medicine because you can't just grow pills in your backyard. We are 100% reliant on them.
And the whole thing freaks me out and makes me nervous
