We have seen previously that God hates pure commerce – commerce is the most wicked thing on earth in God’s eyes. But we need to see further that commerce is not only something outside of us but it is part of our being – it is inside of us! We may not be outwardly involved […]
Pure Commerce is the Most Evil Thing on Earth: God Hates It and He Will Judge It!
This week we are continuing our study of Zechariah, and specifically to a crystal in this book that is not that well known: The Evil and Wickedness of Commerce versus a Divine Sense of Value concerning Christ and the Church.
