Revelation 18:13
Excerpted from: Remaining Free

In Revelation 18, the apostle John describes his vision of end-time Babylon. In his depiction, John recounts all the things Babylon merchandises in, such as gold, silver, and finery of every kind, because of Babylon’s addiction to comfort and luxury. And at the end of his list, John notes that Babylon trades in “the bodies and souls of men” (Revelation 18:13).

What is curious is that it is not just bodies that are part of Babylon’s commerce, but also souls. The soul is the innermost, non-material part of a person. The Greek word is psuche, and it often indicates the heart. This is a significant aspect of what end-time Babylon trades in before her fall. She owns the souls of people. In other words, Babylon enslaves the heart.
