In Revelation 18, John describes the sins of the great city of Babylon, which simply put represents the world in rebellion to God. I know that there are differing views (preterist, historicist, futurist and idealist/spiritualist), but the common thread within all of the views is rebellion to God, whether a specific or symbolic world system or religion of the past, present or future. What I want to point out is one of the earmarks of Babylon which is human trafficking, the selling of souls. "She also bought cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle, sheep, horses, chariots, and bodies—that is, human slaves" (Revelation 18:13 NLT). We shouldn't be surprised that human trafficking is happening, even on the rise. Be informed! Get the facts! Get involved! Begin praying! HUMAN TRAFFICKING: THE FACTS
