"The Merchandise of Slaves"

I think it appropriate at this time, seeing that we are in an exact "changing of the prevailing winds" as evident in the Persian Gulf cyclone Gonu, which in the language of the Maldives means a "bag made of palm leaves"; and as I think of palm leaves, I can only think of the "triumphal entry of Jesus of Nazareth, the Lord's Christ into Jerusalem". I must say with all the world's perplexity, this is a sign of Christ Jesus, the Lord God Almighty's Return. And, the brown-ness of the people; and even the little hindu boy who wanted to run 500 kilometers, but the government stopped him, claiming child abuse, as he lives in a slum or ghetto; in itself a call to awareness and concern.

A recent article relates the fact of slave's passages in George Washington's Philadelphia presidential home. Paul the Apostle said in Colossians, "Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God." The younger generation has been known to say, I would not put up with slavery, I would rebel. However, the biggest rebellion may have been the resistance that submitted to the tormentors subjugation. Now, that certain ways are being unearthed literally and in the courtrooms {James Ford Seale in Mississippi & James Bonard Fowler in Alabama} in America, society may now deal with the unrepentant lacerations of long begone days of yore.
