God retaliates against the global culture which manipulates His people like objects.

“Behold, I will raise them out of the place to which you have sold them, and will return your retaliation upon your own head.” Joel 3:7

The phrase “those being raised from the place where they have been sold” refers to the children of God who are born through Jesus Christ. They will be raised on the Day of the Lord and at the return of Jesus Christ, when they will be resurrected from the dead to live eternally with Him. The place where the followers of Christ are sold is this dehumanized and sin-plagued planet within the global culture of the beast. Christians are “sold” as objects to be used, abused, and treated as this world pleases. God will retaliate against this present anti-Christian world system, not by human hands, as quoted. “Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.” Romans 12:17-19

Global warming, which is the fourth Plague in Revelation 16:8-9, is the most evident sign so far of God’s wrath on this world. The United Nations and global warming are closely related. The more powerful the United Nations becomes as the one world government, the more intense and severe the heat of global warming gets. Global warming will lead to the destruction of the beast’s power center, (Fifth Plague in Revelation 16:10-11), which will cause the collapse of the global government of the beast. The fall of the global culture will trigger the Battle of Armageddon of the Sixth Plague in Revelation 16:12-17. When Jesus Christ returns and the Seventh Trumpet sounds, (Revelation 11:15-19 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) we will be resurrected from the dead.

When God’s wrath descends upon the world, the global culture will have turned into a very cruel and hostile environment, even among the animals, as quoted, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.” Revelation 18:2 NIV

The global culture, which flourishes with traits of psychopathy, has “sold” us a way of life that replaces the human conscience with an entity that gives people their feelings, thoughts, words, and actions. This culture also promotes digital currency to eliminate cash, which they consider the way to remove the root of all evil. That is their attempt to eradicate sin without any faith in God, Jesus Christ, or the Holy Spirit. They become egocentric and arrogant, placing their own authority above that of God our Creator. They feel no guilt, no remorse, and reject the idea of being sinners who need Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sin. They treat the Holy Spirit as someone to manipulate, oppose, oppress, and exploit. The world is fills with lawlessness and anti-social behavior, with no empathy for human beings.

“….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, 3:11
