Bartering in the “souls of men”?
Wasnt that one of the most horrific challenges of the Babylonian era of history? People, Nebuchadnezzar and the presidents and governors putting a value on people in their usefulness and in their value to men and to God was horrific. That is the beauty of the enlightenment of Revelation 18 is that men have come to realize that this is not right. Jesus came to deliver us from the tyranny of a value system that is not God’s.
I am seeing children come to their maturity of self valuation and looking into the eyes of teachers and parents and peers for their value. Confident and pretty children from secure backgrounds are walking with great strides and expectations for themselves. They throw around their authority and lift or drop other souls around them at a glance. You are great and necessary for my comfort and you are not, they seem to say in their play.
It is very unstable for a generation to be raised to think that they create their own value system. If we don’t take them by the hand and give them the BOOK of God’s truth and value system they will become monsters. Feudalism and every man doing what is right in their own eyes will create a barbarism that we haven’t yet seen in history.
People with money and people with beauty making the decisions of life for everyone else. We are very close to this. But the ugliness of this battle we are preparing our children for is closely animated in the battles with the orcs in Hobbit. I believe it can get worse. God can make it better, but we must plan for the reimplementing of real education shared with rich and poor alike?
