Whole story
The Bondage of Egypt is where a portion of your labor was employed by the government in exchange for a limited offer of benefits. God told us in Deuteronomy 17 to never return to the way of Egypt again but the people did under Herod and Rome. Jesus told us to think a different way and to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
What is the rest of the story?
Nilus Mattive wrote the article A Secret Form to Opt Out of Government Handouts.
Some one asked me “Why would a secret form to opt out be needed in a voluntary system?”
The "system" is voluntary but not necessarily voluntary from day to day. This system is as old as Cain and Nimrod. It was prophesied that the people would again be entangled in the yoke of bondage like it was in the days of Egypt and they and their children would become human resources. People have become collateral or a surety for debt through their voluntary applications, actions and agreements of their parents and themselves.
The same process has been used throughout man's beleaguered history. Israel went into bondage because they and all of the people of Egypt sought the benefits offered by the government of Pharaoh during a time of economic dearth which came about because of climate change when the crops and their economy failed.
Those voluntary applications, actions and agreements were both covetous practices and the result of a society slothful in The Way of Jesus Christ and the early Church. People have again become human resources, surety for debt and most continue to curse their children because of their false religion and strong delusion. Some are waking up but are not really doers of the word in The Way of the early Church.
The form mentioned by Nilus is not a secret. I have known about it for years and much more.
Both IRS Form 4029 and Form 4361 are Application for Exemption Social Security and Medicare Taxes and From Self-Employment Tax respectively. But are only offers of exemption and can be revoked at anytime.[1]
I have known Ministers and Members of Religious Orders use Form 4361 which is also used by Christian Science Practitioners. Some Amish use Form 4029 as an Application for Exemption From Social Security and Medicare Taxes and as a Waiver of Benefits.
But the Amish already take care of their own people. They are not isolated individuals just trying to set themselves free with paper work. Until those who claim to be Christian “sit down in the companies of tens and ranks of fifty and ranks of one hundred" as commanded by Christ in Mark 6:39-40 which was the same directive as Moses and those who worshiped through the altars of the faith established by Abraham, why should they expect to be set free?
Christ came that we might be saved but if Christ is in us we will no longer be to biting one another through the covetous practices offered by the Fathers of the earth who are called the benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.
Christ appointed His Church to be the benefactors of peculiar people through faith, not force - through charity, not chains of contracts. The ministers of His Church were to actually Ministers within Religious Orders.[2] who came out at Pentecost to set the people from from the schemes of Herod.
This salvation through repentance and the Baptism of the early Church was not an exemption and they did not have to file an application with the Pharisees. If they would be willing to organize themselves in the tens according to the dictates of Christ, which were the same instructions to the Levites of the Church in the wilderness they could be free indeed.
John 8:36 "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
They are “manditorily” accepted from having to file such requests for exemption because they were willing to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness by the Grace of Christ.
The only reason the Amish get away with what they do is that they are not slothful in the way of Christ and John the Baptist and the early Church. They certainly are not all the way back to the Father's house but they are closer than many.
The State or “merchants of the earth” would never allow productive hard working modern Christians to opt out of that system unless they were organized as Christ said and actually caring for one another.
We are commanded to make the people sit down in that same networking pattern. We cannot physically make people com;y with Christ... We can tell them how it works, work daily to help them do things like the early Church but the people have to repent and start looking to do what Jesus said and the early Church righteously did.
