“They have cast lots for My people, have given a boy as payment for a harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.” Joel 3:3

Casting lots for people and using human beings as merchandise to achieve what is wanted is a trait of psychopathy. People are de-humanized as the global culture see human beings as objects. Under the global government of the beast, human trafficking will always exist until the collapse of this world’s system, as quoted from the verse below, “…cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.” The most obvious form of dehumanizing people is by manipulating human beings as objects by giving them what to think, do, say, and feel. That is what the global government is built on and from which they derive their power and authority.

Revelation 18 speaks of the collapse of the global economy and of human beings being in the same category as merchandise, “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men.” Revelation 18:11-13

God wants to remove the stony heart to remove the sin of seeing people as objects so we can see human beings as His Creation. He wants to give us a new spirit and give us a heart of flesh. “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” Ezekiel 36:26 God wants our humanness and human spirit to mold with His Spirit through Jesus Christ. He wants us to be born again within our humanness and His Spirit, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” John 3:6 “For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. “But like men they transgressed the covenant; There they dealt treacherously with Me.” Hosea 6:6-7

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
