Reality & Society: History of Drugs Via Our Governments- Opium- Revelation 18:23
Pharmakeia- G5331 is used only 3 times in 3 verses of the KJV: Galatians 5:20, Revelation 9:21 and 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 G5331 were all nations deceived. All Nations were deceived in the past and are being deceived now because the spirits of the children of the fallen angel teach each generation the knowledge of evil either by passing this information on via job training, in colleges, or by simply giving new ideas to those who are not sealed with Abba Yah in their minds and hearts. While reading this sermon it's important to understand that the world had a remnant: Very few people believed in The One True Creator, Abba Yah. Those who did Not did whatever they wanted and lived as they pleased using the knowledge passed down from the Watchers. Opioid Drug Addiction/Abuse- Addictioncenter.com About 130 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose. From 1999 to 2017, 399,230 Americans lost their lives to opioids. In 2017 alone, 47,600 fatal overdoses occurred in America which involved at least one opioid. In 2017, doctors issued 191,218,272 opioid prescriptions, a slight decline from the 200,000,000 opioid prescriptions which they issued every year from 2006 to 2016. Since 1999, the sale of opioid painkillers has skyrocketed by 300%. The term “opioids” includes compounds that are extracted from the poppy seed as well as semisynthetic and synthetic compounds with similar properties that can interact with opioid receptors in the brain. Opium trade- Britannica.com In Chinese history, the traffic that developed in the 18th and 19th centuries in which Western countries, mostly Great Britain, exported opium grown in India and sold it to China. The British used the profits from the sale of opium to purchase such Chinese luxury goods as porcelain, silk, and tea, which were in great demand in the West. Taken orally to relieve tension and pain, the drug was used in limited quantities until the 17th century. At that point, the practice of smoking tobacco spread from North America to China, and opium smoking soon became popular throughout the country. Opium addiction increased, and opium importations grew rapidly during the first century of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911/12). By 1729 it had become such a problem that the Yongzheng emperor (ruled 1722–35) prohibited the sale and smoking of opium. That failed to hamper the trade, and in 1796 the Jiaqing emperor outlawed opium importation and cultivation. In spite of such decrees, however, the opium trade continued to flourish. https://www.thelionstares.com/post/reality-society-history-of-drugs-via-our-governments-opium-revelation-18-23 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/lions-tares/support
