Bondage
Bondage is "the state of being a slave."
It is from the Anglo-Latin bondagium, from Middle English bond ‘serf’ (earlier ‘peasant, householder’), from Old Norse bóndi ‘tiller of the soil,’ based on búa ‘dwell’; influenced in sense by bond.
Bond is defined "physical restraints" but also as "an agreement with legal force, in particular."[1]
Israel was in bondage in Egypt because the people made "an agreement with legal force, in particular" with the Pharaoh during a time a famine.[2] This agreement was a contract or covenant that bound them and their successors. They had to make this agreement because they were not ready for that famine when it came. They might have been ready but because of jealousy and envy they had betrayed and sold their own brother into bondage.
So what really brought the people into bondage?
Was it the famine or was it envy and jealousy, covetous selfishness and abusive pride?
And what brought about this "selfishness and pride". Wasn't it a rejection of the ways of God which are love of God and each other that brought them into bondage?
So it was jealousy and selfishness that was in their hearts and their minds that truly bound them. But it was the fact that “The contract makes the law.”[3] that bound them, not as captured slaves but as members of a Corvee system of statutory servitude or bondage. Their dependence grew until heavy burdens of debt drove the final nails into a coffin for their hope of liberty.
It is not different today.
Today we apply for benefits from men who exercise authority one over the other and we call them Benefactors. This is contrary to the ways of God and the saying of Jesus Christ[4] yet we pretend to be followers of Christ.
So four hundred years later the Israelite people in Egypt were still in bondage not because of what they did but because of what their parents did many years before. This was a system of Corvee that employed the labor of society into a system of civil Bondage based on contract.
Like the Kingdom of God which is from generation to generation[5] their bondage was also from generation to generation.
This is because “That which bars those who have contracted will bar their successors also.”[6]
So this bondage was brought about by sin, by a rejection of God by the voice of the people. That bondage depended upon the mechanics of the law but the driving force that ensnared them was wantonness and greed, sloth and neglect, covetness and avarice.
The same that was true under Egypt was also true under 1 Samuel 8 and Saul and many other Benefactors who exercised authority one over the other from Cain to Nimrod and of course Herod and Caesar.
Jesus came to save the whole world not to condemn it.[7]
- "Redemption is deliverance from the power of an alien dominion and the enjoyment of the resulting freedom. It involves the idea of restoration to one who possesses a more fundamental right or interest. The best example of redemption in the Old Testament was the deliverance of the children of Israel from bondage, from the dominion of the alien power in Egypt." <Ref. Zondervan’s Pictorial Encyclopedia of the Bible, the word “redemption” </Ref>
Doing it again
People have sinned again and gone back into very similar bondage. They claim the salvation of Christ but do they really have it? Are they really saved?
Most Christians do not really want to believe that they are in need of salvation because they believe they are saved already. But we know that there is a strong delusion prophesied where they would believe a lie.[8]
This delusion would come upon the people after the working of Satan's [9] lying ways. The people would be decieved because their hearts would be willing to receive his lies as they have done from the beginning.[10]
- "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People will not love the truth enough to see that they are going or have gone back into the bondage under the rudiments or elements of the world.[11]
It is not because they were not told that such bondage would come because the Bible is explicit and detailed in the matter of becoming Merchandise and how we would be snared again.
Christ had instructed His Little flock and instituted His Church as one form of government for the purpose of strengthening the poor. If the people would turned around and follow The Way it would set them free but only if they repented, forgave and gave willingly to the daily benefit of one another in the love of Pure Religion.
Colossians 2:14 "Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"
While, “The law (jus) is the rule of right; and whatever is contrary to the rule of right is an injury,” Jus est norma recti; et quicquid est contra normam recti est injuria. 3 Bulstr.313
Human Laws
“Human laws (lex, leges) are born, live, and die.” Leges humanæ nascuntur, vivuntet moriuntur.
In the book the Covenants of the gods there are fifteen chapters reduced down to a few pages each. The stripped down text demonstrates the mechanics of the present bondage of the world.
Each chapter represents pieces of a puzzle that has brought society to its knees from Cain and Nimrod to the modern Caesars and Fathers of the earth. But the driving force that pushes and pulls mankind into subjection is Sloth and Covetousness.
Admitting our own part in the bondage we may find ourselves in today within the jurisdictions of the world is key to the liberty of Christ that sets us free.[12]
This is why humility is emphasized by Christ and why confession is good for the soul. Seeing your part can only be done if we are humble enough to admit our error, our sloth and covetousness which has brought us under tribute.
The first actual step we see preached by Christ is to repent. To repent is to think a different way or even go a different way.
What way would that be?
Jesus said to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Righteousness is " a state approved of God". That state would include "integrity, virtue, purity of life, rightness, correctness of thinking, feeling, and acting"
Christ said also to seek, strive[13] and be steadfast and diligent.[14]
When asked how to obtain Eternal life he told us to Keep the Commandments which meant the Ten Commandments which Christ summed up into Two commandments.
These commandments were painting a picture of what righteousness either looked like or did not not look like. They were marking the way of God. If we were violating any of these commandments by policy or practice that was sure evidence we were not following Christ and our faith in him was a deception of others if not of ourselves.
A Community of Christ
Christ came to set us free in Spirit and in truth. He appointed some men to teach and preach us what that looked like but not to rule over us. That group of appointed ministers were eventually called the Church. There are lots of institutions of men today calling themselves Churches but they are not all doing the same thing and many of them by policy or practice give sure evidence that they are not following Christ although they will vehemently and even violently deny that.
The legal definition of the Church today
The word Bond is also defined as a "a force or feeling that unites people; a common emotion or interest." When that force is the power of God's love people are bound by the name or character of God. They are bound by faith Hope and charity and the perfect law of liberty.
When the bonds are
They could not have legally sold their brother but they illegally beat him and threw him in a pit. Cousins offered money to the brothers if they would give there brother to them.
The brothers agreed and Joseph was ransomed out of the pit. Now Joseph was in debt to his rescuers because they payed the ransom. While under the bonds of this debt, he was sold to people in Egypt as merchandise.
The synonyms of bond include promise, pledge, vow, oath, word (of honor), guarantee...
Synonyms for bondage include slavery, enslavement, servitude, subjugation, subjection, even oppression, domination, exploitation...
Americans went into bondage during the great depression. They sought a welfare that was a snare.[16] US Citizens became a part of the corvée[17] of the United States.
