Who are the merchants of the earth? The merchants pass laws to do drugs? By thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

Your rulers, leaders, congress, government ... they want to control the people. They do it by lies.

Revelation 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.

Thy Sorceries: NT:5332 a druggist ("pharmacist") or poisoner, medication, sorcery, witchcraft.
These are drug dealers, once they have you, you have no control of your body.
The rulers that pass laws for the drug dealers they want to control you.
Revelation 9:21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Whoremongers NT:4097 (from the base of NT:4008); to traffic (by travelling), dispose of as merchandise or into slavery.
Who maketh lies?
The one Worldism system, Babylon, confession, brings in lies, deceptions, the rulers will try to control you by their drugs, Movies, TV shows, news.
By their deceptions, flood of lies..they say..it's okay...because it's the right thing to do..they turn wrong into right and right into wrong.. they love to make lies.
Everything God tells us to do..they do the opposite.. saying it okay.

God's Elect
John 15:17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
God's Very Elect does not follow the ways of the world.

The Wicked are consume as smoked, meaning no more
Psalms 37: 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.
18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
