# 15 O.P.E.C., Ecc 8:9.

This information I just added to the section, Dealing Treacherously with the Sheep. Being additional I have placed it as a New Post.

Similar to the damage done by the "increasing lawlessness" in the congregations. Lawlessness in the world of mankind has had disastrous effects. Many are bullied, persecuted, manipulated and discriminated against for a multitude of reasons and taken advantage of. Really by those who are in effect saying, "You do not deserve to be happy", or at the very least they, these "The Fellers". (Genesis prior to the flood). Do not care about anyone's happiness or benefit but their own. By individuals trained from their youth on in unrighteousness, just doing business. Ecc 8;9; "Man has dominated man to his injury".

For example, businesses, companies, governments etc, take advantage of their monopoly of a situation. Like O.P.E.C. the organisation of peoples, groups and companies who prepare the petroleum for market for world use.

Recently these released a statement which said, "We will 'Gradually' increase productivity to make up for the restriction of Russian fuel".

Why? The world needs Fuel today, does it not. Greed, Money, Power and control. Fleecing poorer countries. Even taking advantage of the death and suffering of others to line their own pockets. (Now October 2023, I heard they are limiting output to bump up prices)

Individuals, Families and entire nations are being told, "you do not deserve to be happy, 'I Do'", by bullies, misogynists and selfish peoples etc etc etc, making life more expensive and ever more difficult. For many, earning a living is way harder and costly, a cost that is passed on down the line which in turn creates yet another tsunami of grief and anxiety for all.

"Increasing lawlessness" was foretold for our day. These are pushing aside the perfect law of "Love".

Revelation 11: 18 warns of the coming judgement to "bring to ruin those ruining the earth."

Jesus himself said "by this all will know you 'are' my disciples, if you have love among yourselves. This Love, should be deeply rooted in us, never should we ignore the sufferings of others.

It (love) should be part of our personality.

Why? If we are God's children, he wants us to cultivate such fellow feeling. For "He" God, "is Love", pure, clean, through and through. Just as Jesus demonstrated as His representative by his actions on earth, caring for the down trodden and judged as un fit by the leaders. While not afraid to "call them out" as hypocrites and lovers of money rather than God.

He again will call them out, Revelation says He will Judge the nations and "Bring to ruin those ruining the Earth". All those in a position such as O.P.E.C. and the governments who allow them to exploit mankind WILL again be His focus of distain. All those who use their positions of trust to exploit others for personal benefit, now and in the future, should take it to heart, they will be noticed.

As we each develop this quality, we in turn help the healing process, for all men.

May love be your dominant quality also.

Thanks again, man in expectation:)

The mash-up! "You must love Jehovah your God, with your whole Heart, Mind, Soul and Strength and keep His Commandments. If you do, you will be wise enough to bypass any trial with ease, and have an indefinitely lasting name with The Living One. Those who fail to take these things to heart, will suffer shame and fall short in a large way, all that is his, will be destroyed and cease to exist.

You who love Him, however, will flourish with joy, under the tent cloths of Jehovah, always." Ecc 12:13, Mark 12:30 and Ps 37:18-20.
