That is certainly an interesting question that I hadn't heard before. We are looking at a chapter where the king of Tyrus is mentioned followed by the prince of Tyrus who is the source behind the king and hence has an origin and a fate unique to anything else (being the only cherub said to fall; as well as being assigned to the bottomless pit and his emissary (Satan and the False Prophet) being the first beings actually thrown into the lake of fire itself.
A parallel passage is Isaiah 14. There seem to be some indications that there was some sort of world of spirit beings before man appeared; not only from the break in Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 but also spelled out in a similar verse in Zechariah 14. Whether there was an original primordial earth at that time with an original destruction BEFORE the one in Adam's time explaining the apparent age of the universe is something often up for debate. At the very least; Satan needed a time to fall into the sin of pride after his original creation (see Job 33:7); then there had to be the rebellion where the massive 1/3 of all angels were drawn into his plot to be worshipped; then the actual fall from heaven; which also seems to come in stages from losing his authority; to actually being cast down to earth in the Tribulation. Revelation 18 mentions the souls of men along with all other types of slavery being part of the final Babylon world system. Certainly slavery is not limited to physical bondage; but spiritual as well and that is Satan's end goal; so there is certainly world domination through religious and economic control from the time of Nimrod to the Antichrist's Tribulation rule whose authority is granted by God to fulfill his purposes.
It would seem as well in study of the giants in scripture and the ancient structures that advanced knowledge was given by demons and the giants had the physical strength to build structures that defy logic as to what science knows of "prehistoric man".
Yes, seems captivity, slavery, bondage could relate to human trafficking.
I'm familiar with the break in Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 as possibility of so-called Gap Theory. Makes sense to explain when and how Lucifer fell to the earth. Also makes sense in explaining about the fallen angels (sons of God) mating with daughters of men.
Luke 17:2, Matthew 18:6,10, Mark 9:42,
The Matthew, Mark, and Luke verses show how God loves us and stands up for us. He is our protector. PTL
