THE ONES "DRIVING [OTHERS] TO WORK".
(Isaiah 14:4).

Those who drive others to work, do so to exploit them. Through their system of unjust wealth distribution and the threat of enforced deprivation they compel people to work at Godless preoccupations to further their will. But this tyrannical use of power in order to impose unjust burdens is oppression. By barring access to sufficient land and resources they prohibit mankind from producing for their own needs. We should be able to sit each one under our own vine without interference or disturbance from others. (Zech 3:10,7).

THE 'DRIVERS' OF OTHERS ARE COMING TO AN END.
Their "yoke" will be removed. (14:25). The reversal is about to take place. Spirit sons of "Israel" will soon hold their captors in subjection. (14:2). It will take place quickly, for the "error of that land" (spiritual "Israel") will be taken away in "one day". (Zech 2:7. 3:9). This "error" originates from the "harlot daughters" of spiritistic "Babylon"; a spirit of rebellion that has descended through many generations from ancient Babylon. (Rev 17:4-6).

The "majestic ones" of Lebanon are an example of the authority of tyrannical "ruling ones" being broken. (14:5,8. Zech 11:1-3). The removal of "haughtily exultant ones" by Jehovah serves as a prophetic indicator of the reversal of subjection and authority taking place. He will let remain in His spiritual "land" a people humble and lowly. (Zeph 3:10-12).

Political and sectarian "goatlike leaders" of the earth "driving [others] to work" are being made weak. (14:10). They will be caught "while still alive" in worldwide recession and famine. (Rev 19:20). To each of these "goatlike leaders" of this system it will be said: "Is this the man that was agitating the earth, that was making kingdoms rock"? (14:16). The "yoke" of slavery will be removed from all sons of God.

THOSE "DRIVING" ARE THE
"DETESTED SPROUT" OF "BABYLON". (14:19).
Unlike "ruling ones" of the past with kingly authority over the nations, the oppressive "goatlike leaders" of today will not be lain down with glory after death. Jehovah has promised to rise up against them and to cut off from their Babylonish kingdom, "name and remnant and progeny and prosperity". (14:22). How will this be done? Isaiah 14:30 gives the answer: "And with famine I will put your root to death".

The Ethiopian famine will be followed by a desolating famine in Egypt. Afterwards, nations that refuse to come to know Jehovah and worship Him will receive no "pouring rain" in their spirits or upon their land. (Zech 14:17,18).

Among the "haughtily exultant ones" to be removed are unclean spirits (demons) residing within individuals receptive to their evil influence. (Zeph 3:10-12). The "dragon" satan has given his authority, power and throne to the image of the "wild beast". (Rev 13:2). Demonstrations are a wild and unrestrained manifestation of demoncracies.

Subordinates and advocates of political "goatlike leaders" include such established strongholds as schools (demonic indoctrinators) and police and military forces (agencies to enforce compliance). A servant of God does not allow himself to be employed by such demonic agencies under the authority of satan.
