REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Six - The Traveling Merchants - Continue

 International trading in arms is soaring beyond $1,000,000,000,000 each year, while hundreds of millions of humans are deprived of life's necessities. That is bad enough. But armaments appear to be the basic support of the world's economy. On April 11, 1987 an article in London's Spectator reported: "Countint only directly related industries some 400,000 jobs are involved in the U.S. and 750,000 in Europe. But curiously enoughm as the social and economic role of building weapons  has grown the actual question of whether the producers are well defended has slipped into the background." Huge profits are made as bombs and other weaponry are traded all over the earth, even to potential enemies.  Some day those bombs may come back in a fiery holocaust to destroy those selling them. What  a paradox!  Add to this the graft that surrounds the arms industry.  In the United States alonem according to  the Spectator, "every years the Pentagon inexplicably loses $900-million worth of arms and equipment." It is no wonder that the merchants of the earth come up for unfavorable mention in Revelaton!
