Whatever we think about that God too will eventually make clear to us. We must not deep dive into those specifics just now. They are not the point. The point is that the merchants of Satan’s Babylon will direct financial operations all over the globe. From their penthouses and boardrooms proclamations and edicts will pour forth. What they think and believe, conceptualize and decide will spread over the world.
Great ones?
The power of these in Babylon City will be established on the earth. That is why they were called the great ones. They were the important ones. If a business wished to enter the global market they would have to work through a liaison in Babylon. That connection made these merchant houses influencers.
So far…not wicked
Before we head into the wickedness let us walk out into world influence a bit more for we can see more clearly now than John on Patmos could see.
Markets
As a first example take mobile phones. Two brands come immediately to mind in this market: Apple & Samsung. Others include Motorola and Huawei. The devices made by these companies are in the hands of or near the hands of all living people in the universe.
Slide next to Microsoft. They have a global reach through their operating system and office productivity software. Jump on over in your mind to Google or eBay, Amazon or Walmart. Take your pick, they all have roles, and these are only merchants whose prowess extends from the US. Others influence from China or India, centers in South America and Europe. Organizations like these are merchants delivering goods from producers to consumers. Do you as a business wish a national or international reach? Better kowtow to their guidelines.
