On May 30th 2024, I published the following poems:
The marketplace is saturated.
The merchants,
- greedy, impatient, conceited.
The coveted commodity relentlessly targeted.
The merchandise,
- innocent, pure, blinded.
No matter the price they must be sacrificed - traded.
The buyers,
- dangerous, dogged, wicked.
For you, for I, us
have destinies that must be stopped
else we may cause too much fuss
their plans put in shambles, flopped.
Like a roaring lion, they prowled, waited
with unabashed concentration, they operated
for your soul to be traded
sent down to the prison of the anointed
with no hope, purpose - obliterated.
Trapped.
The land, impure.
The future, unsure.
Slaves are riding horses
princes are walking on foot
with no care for consequences
only to nourish the evil root.
For the innocent blood, spilled on the shrine
Justice is waiting for its time to shine.
Before I was in my mother’s womb
was the trade set into motion
for my soul to be put in the tomb
did they fight in commotion.
Before I took my first breath
were their fangs sniffing for my blood
ruthlessly aiming for death
did the attack cause a flood.
The buyers hate it, my liberation
They deplore it, my freedom
They loathe it, my salvation.
The buyers crave it, your destiny
They defile it, your purity
They manipulate it, your psyche.
Rebel, and break free
break the trade, take refuge under the Tree
of Life and serenity
full of peace, joy and liberty.
Our souls are no merchandise
To be tossed around like dice.
You have a responsibility
Don’t look away, take duty.
Who was your merchant?
Mum? Dad? or another tyrant?
someone you trusted, dis-trusted, feared?
one who had authority over you and sweared
your life away without consideration
under them, your star was to reach its destination
There is hope!
There is hope!
Yes, there is hope!
Forget about the old days
Repent, change your old ways.
Set yourself on the path to life
Remove from your heart the strife.
Escape,
while they struggle to scrape
whatever they can to use in their oppression
of the mind for world domination.
There is hope!
There is hope!
Yes, there is hope!
It's time to plot your escape
They didn’t create you, don’t have the last word.
Go! Race out of the gates wearing the cape
With power, wield The Double-Edged Sword.
I know Someone whom I can introduce you to
Pure, patient, kind, who loves you.
If only you would open up your heart
Out of the trap, your soul would be lifted - an art.
This was the first publication of the Captives series. In the epistle that followed it, I mentioned that the poem was highly coded but did not decode it.
Today, the Lord asked me to share a video with you that provides context and essentially decodes the poems above. It is a teaching from a great intercessor and teacher of pure spiritual truths in the Kingdom of God, James Kawalya. I listened to this today and realised that he is discussing the core aspects and problems of what we have been talking about on The Studio since its inception in April 2024 which subsequently led to the Captives series.
Our family can deeply relate to this matter, which I discussed in my first statement a broken ethos. We encourage you to listen attentively and ask yourselves the right questions about your lives.
Many of you think that because you are not physically slicing children's throats on satanic altars, you are not part of the system. Some of you don't see nor understand the system that your labour fuels. You keep holding onto your careers not knowing that your destinies and lives are not yours anymore. You have sold your and your descendants' souls to the devil by bending the knee to all his gods of iniquity through your daily corrupted industry practices. You are slaves. You are trapped.
I pray that today your eyes will be opened.
Nothing is worth your soul and those of your descendants - yes, because darkness operates in generational curses and bondages, your slavery never stops with you. Give up the contract, even if it means your (mostly manipulated and corrupted) public persona will be buried, and your career stalled or destroyed.
We are speaking from experience when we say that the grass is MUCH greener on the other side, it's incomparable. Freedom in Christ is priceless. Nobody can take that light, peace, abundance, and joy away from you. Nobody in the public or around you (sometimes even your closest friends and family members) will understand, and I know it may be hard for you to see it that way now but they don't matter.
This is your soul, this is your life, this is your relationship with your Creator and the Lord Jesus Christ - nothing is worthy to keep you away from His love and from your glorious inheritance in Him. Remember what the Lord once said about the man who finds the Kingdom:
Hidden Treasure
44 “The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself].
A Costly Pearl
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls,46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
I testify that not a lie was told in these verses.
Here is the video teaching I am to share with you.
May the veil be torn and your eyes be opened in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Redeemer, Saviour and King. To Him be the glory forever and ever, amen!
UPDATE
Please watch the video closely!
James references the prophecies of Revelation 17 and 18 in his teaching which discusses the broken and immoral system of Babylon The Great and how it has corrupted the world and destroyed people. We are living it right now, friends, and I (unwittingly) addressed it in my Broken Ethos statement - my very first article (statement) in this publication.
![](https://elvirastudios.com/content/images/size/w1200/2024/05/Banner-Elvira-Studios--2500---350-px--5.png)
The revelations also announce the fall of Babylon, which I (unwittingly) addressed in The Fall From Grace - my very first epistle in this publication.
It also breaks down the currency of adultery (with its sensualities and sexually immoral practices) that is prominent in this Babylonian system, which I (unwittingly) addressed in Slaves to the Sex - my second epistle in this publication.
The trading of human bodies and souls (lives) is also addressed in Revelations 18, which was the foundation of the Captives series - to set those traded souls (the captives) free. That is why the foundational scriptures of that series are the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, the only One who sets free:
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” (Luke 4:18-19)
Dear friends, the end times are here and the great tribulation is near.
Please do not take this lightly.
I am not saying it out of senseless zeal. I shared this video under the Lord's instruction last night, and I just thought that James was putting into words what I was hinting at in the Traded To Be Trapped poems, but I had not linked the scripture itself to how it relates to the original publications on this site, and most importantly, how it practically and tangibly exposes the times we live in today - especially the details about Babylon's fall and judgement.
It was not until I watched the video for the second time tonight that it clicked in my head and I realised that I had been inadvertently writing about the Revelation 17 and 18 prophecies on The Studio in all those first epistles and that you and I are living it today, here and now.
This is what Revelation 17 and 18 say (ESV):
Revelation 17
The Great Prostitute and the Beast
17 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 5 And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth's abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.[a]
When I saw her, I marveled greatly. 7 But the angel said to me, “Why do you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her. 8 The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise from the bottomless pit[b] and go to destruction. And the dwellers on earth whose names have not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world will marvel to see the beast, because it was and is not and is to come. 9 This calls for a mind with wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; 10 they are also seven kings, five of whom have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come, and when he does come he must remain only a little while. 11 As for the beast that was and is not, it is an eighth but it belongs to the seven, and it goes to destruction. 12 And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings who have not yet received royal power, but they are to receive authority as kings for one hour, together with the beast.13 These are of one mind, and they hand over their power and authority to the beast. 14 They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.”
15 And the angel[c] said to me, “The waters that you saw, where the prostitute is seated, are peoples and multitudes and nations and languages. 16 And the ten horns that you saw, they and the beast will hate the prostitute. They will make her desolate and naked, and devour her flesh and burn her up with fire, 17 for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by being of one mind and handing over their royal power to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled. 18 And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth.”
Revelations 18
The Fall of Babylon
18 After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was made bright with his glory. 2 And he called out with a mighty voice,
“Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great!
She has become a dwelling place for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast.
3 For all nations have drunk[a]
the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”
4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying,
“Come out of her, my people,
lest you take part in her sins,
lest you share in her plagues;
5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven,
and God has remembered her iniquities.
6 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others,
and repay her double for her deeds;
mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed.
7 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury,
so give her a like measure of torment and mourning,
since in her heart she says,
‘I sit as a queen,
I am no widow,
and mourning I shall never see.’
8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day,
death and mourning and famine,
and she will be burned up with fire;
for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her.”
9 And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. 10 They will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say,
“Alas! Alas! You great city,
you mighty city, Babylon!
For in a single hour your judgment has come.”
11 And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn for her, since no one buys their cargo anymore, 12 cargo of gold, silver, jewels, pearls, fine linen, purple cloth, silk, scarlet cloth, all kinds of scented wood, all kinds of articles of ivory, all kinds of articles of costly wood, bronze, iron and marble, 13 cinnamon, spice, incense, myrrh, frankincense, wine, oil, fine flour, wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and slaves, that is, human souls.[b]
14 “The fruit for which your soul longed
has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors
are lost to you,
never to be found again!”
15 The merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, will stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,
16 “Alas, alas, for the great city
that was clothed in fine linen,
in purple and scarlet,
adorned with gold,
with jewels, and with pearls!
17 For in a single hour all this wealth has been laid waste.”
And all shipmasters and seafaring men, sailors and all whose trade is on the sea, stood far off 18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning,
“What city was like the great city?”
19 And they threw dust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,
“Alas, alas, for the great city
where all who had ships at sea
grew rich by her wealth!
For in a single hour she has been laid waste.
20 Rejoice over her, O heaven,
and you saints and apostles and prophets,
for God has given judgment for you against her!”
21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying,
“So will Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence,
and will be found no more;
22 and the sound of harpists and musicians, of flute players and trumpeters,
will be heard in you no more,
and a craftsman of any craft
will be found in you no more,
and the sound of the mill
will be heard in you no more,
23 and the light of a lamp
will shine in you no more,
and the voice of bridegroom and bride
will be heard in you no more,
for your merchants were the great ones of the earth,
and all nations were deceived by your sorcery.
24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints,
and of all who have been slain on earth.”
If you are still part of their system and reading this, I appeal to you to repent now while you still have the chance. The Lord has made it clear and He watches for His word to be accomplished. Repent now, salvage your soul, and save your life before it is too late.
Nothing is worth your life. Nothing is worth your children's lives. Nothing and no one - but Christ, who first gave His life so that you could find your life and be set free, setting the standard that no one has been able to remotely come close to. Turn to the Lord and He will care for you and reveal the bigger and better plans that He has for you - bigger than what your mind can comprehend, and I am not saying this lightly. He is waiting for you.
Do not fear them and know that He is GOD. Do not underestimate Him.
So we say with confidence,
“The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
What can mere mortals do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6)
Please read this friendly reminder to refresh your memory on the opportunity you have today.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. To Him be the glory forever and ever, amen.
With love,
Elvira
