My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 18:12

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 18:12

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

merchandise of gold,... Thirty articles of commerce, proving this Babylon to be a great commercial center:

1. Gold

2. Silver

3. Pearls

4. Purple

5. Scarlet

6. Odours

7. Wine

8. Oil

9. Wheat

10. Beasts

11. Sheep

12. Horses

13. Chariots

14. Slaves

15. Fruits

16. Silk

17. Precious stones

18. Fine linen

19. Thyine wood

20. Vessels of ivory

21. Vessels of wood

22. Vessels of brass

24. Vessels of marble

25. Cinnamon

26. Ointments

27. Frankincense

28. Dainty things

29. Goodly things

30. Fine flour

and purple,... This refers to garments laboriously dyed with purple dye extracted from shellfish. Lydia (Acts 16:14), was a seller of such expensive garments. A distinctive mark of the Caesars was their purple robes.

all thyine wood... Wood from North African citrus trees, highly valued because of its color, which was used to make extremely expensive pieces of furniture.

and marble... Marble, imported from Africa, Egypt, and Greece, was widely used in Roman buildings.

It appears that these are classed in several types:

(1) Personal items of jewelry;

(2) Articles used for furniture;

(3) Nice smelling and tasting things;

(4) Food;

(5) Animals;

(6) Souls of men.

What significance this has, I do not know; unless, it means worldly things. Most of these are things a person could do without if hard times came and you had to, even maybe the food for a while.



It appears to me, in all of this that trade has just about ceased, period. Probably, all the plagues and wars have just about stopped everything.
