‘Big Pharma’ in prophecy

In the Bible-study series on the book of Revelation, I discussed in part 36 the future role of the city of Babylon (on the Euphrates) and its final fall. From the beginning of this aeon, Babylon has fulfilled a key role in the world at important moments. At present Babylon (Hilla) is only the capital of a province (Babil) in Iraq, but according to biblical prophecy this city will (soon) become the capital of the world—and especially the center of world trade and finance.

In this blog I want to highlight one particular aspect. In Revelation 18:23 we read (literally translated):

“And the light of a lamp shall not shine in you (…) for your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your pharmacy all the nations were deceived.” (CLNT)

the great men of the earth

Here the tragedy is described of a city that will be completely wiped out in one hour. Permanently. Note the motive: “for your merchants were the great men of the earth…”. The city housed “the merchants,” which we may think of as traders, bankers, and industrialists. They are called “the great men of the earth”—not just “powerful,” but literally the greatest. This means that power is not held by governments and presidents, but by big money. Politicians are mere pawns; behind the scenes, money rules. That’s where the real decisions are made. And politicians merely act as PR agents, nothing more.

pharmakeia

But there’s something else remarkable. For Babylon’s merchants—described as “the greatest”—one characteristic is highlighted. It also explains why they were “the greatest of the earth”: “… for by your pharmacy all the nations were deceived.” You won’t find this wording in common translations. There you typically read “sorcery.” But “sorcery” is only a derivative meaning of the original Greek PHARMAKEIA. Therein we immediately recognize our word “pharmacy.” The study Bible describes this Greek word as:

The feminine noun pharmakeia – also spelled pharmakia – means (1) “(the use of) drugs or magical potions,” (2) “poisoning,” and (3) “sorcery, magic.”

The translators could have left the word untranslated in Revelation 18:23, with at most an adjustment to pronunciation and spelling. Would that not have hit the prophetic nail right on the head? The “greatest of the earth” are the merchants of pharmacy—with full right, Big Pharma! Increasingly we see the outlines of this emerging. There is no industry through which as much money flows as through pharmacy. With disease as the business model, one controls the world.

follow the money

Never before in human history has the entire world, as in 2021, had to be administered one “medicine.” Well, a vaccine in this case. Or better said: an experimental genetic modification. And not only is such a product launched on a global scale, but it is also globally steered through the centre of power  (WHO).

Note that the WHO’s most important sponsor is not a government or state, but the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—one of the richest entities in the world, holding large shares in the companies currently supplying the “vaccines.” That is not an accusation or conspiracy—it is information from these institutions themselves, publicly accessible.

the power of pharmacy

Big Pharma not only delivers products via (inter)national power centers, but the products themselves are used as means of control. Because in practice, everyone is forced to take these “vaccines.” It is “sold” as voluntary—but those who refuse are excluded. No vaccine passport, no travel; event doors and other public venues are closed to them; many professions become impossible. The unvaccinated are portrayed as a danger to society. That is the power of Big Pharma.

deceiving all the nations

In Revelation 18:23 we also read that in the pharmakeia “all the nations” were deceived. The NBG51 (Dutch translation) says: “… all the peoples were deceived.” Big Pharma is linked to (1) the “merchants” (money), (2) “the greatest of the earth” (power), and (3) deceiving all the nations. That deception is global. It literally says “all the nations”—think: the United Nations. They have their World Health Organisation (WHO) and under that umbrella, they have both the money and power to deceive everyone—even now. And the mainstream media is used for this purpose. For it is one thing to impose something by force, but far more elegant to win people over willingly. Propaganda and mass influence through newspapers, magazines, TV channels, the internet, and especially social media (Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.). And guess what: all these media outlets are largely owned by international corporations (“merchants”) that hold shares in the pharmaceutical industry. And so the circle is complete.

Big Tech (like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter) has the power to suppress and censor unwanted information. And they do so constantly. Even their “fact-checks,” pretending objectivity, are false and fully subject to the interests of the WHO—and thus of Big Pharma. Think, for example, of the recently leaked emails from Tony Fauci, which show he knew of various facts that were officially denied. Thus “the lie reigns by means of truth maintenance.” (Romans 1:18 )

hopeful & alert

Revelation 18:23 describes how all these developments will (thankfully!) end. But be aware that the global powers and intrigues of the (pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical) lie will grow tremendously in the coming years. Not to incite fear—but the truth always wins in the end. That awareness gives us both hope and vigilance, so that we are not ensnared by lies sold to us under fine-sounding pretexts.
