Commentary on Revelation 18:13
The merchandise list concludes with 'slaves, and souls of men,' exposing Rome's dehumanization through slavery. The distinction between 'slaves' (Greek 'sōmatōn,' bodies) and 'souls of men' may emphasize the complete exploitation—not just bodies but personhood itself commodified. Reformed theology condemns treating image-bearers as property. This indictment reveals Babylon's moral bankruptcy—pursuing luxury through human trafficking. The placement at the list's end emphasizes this sin's grievousness. Material prosperity built on human exploitation faces certain judgment.
