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

 Did Jesus have a tie-in with questionable business practices of his day?  No. He was not even a property ower, for he had "nowhere to lay down his head."  A rich young ruler was advised by Jesus: "Sell all the thing you have and distribut to poor people, and will have treasure in the heavebs and come be my follower." That was fine admonition for it could have resulted in  his getting rid of all anxities over businesss matters.  (Luke 9:58; 18:22) In contras, Babylonish religion often has unsavory links  with big business. For example, in 1987 the Albany Times Union reported  that the financial adminstrator of the Catholic  archdiocese of Miami, Florida, U.S.A. admitted to the church's owning stocks in companies that make nuclear weapons.  R-rated movies, and cigarettes.
