Slavery - Past, Present and Future:
"Christian" Europe has often been blamed for slavery but then also been made to appear as the so-called hero, bringing an end to slavery. But has slavery really ended?NO!
"A family of human traffickers have been jailed after making hundreds of thousands of pounds by enslaving homeless people from central Europe.
The UK Newcastle-based Rafael family brought vulnerable people into the UK over a seven-year period and forced them to work long hours for next to nothing."

Christianity however is not the religion of the bible, neither is Catholicism or Judaism or many of the false cults or denominations seen today. They all have been corrupted in some way. With all these false religions have come the evil corruptions of the true bible. The slave trade is just one of them.
Let's look at the country South Africa where oppression by the evils of Apartheid was the order of the day also introduced by so-called bible believers. Now that Apartheid has been done away with and supposed freedom has arrived we look at the current government led by the black majority, the ANC which again has so-called followers of the bible. However they are stealing from their own people through corruption. So nothing has changed. Only the colour of the "slave trader" has changed but is this something new? Have blacks been selling out their own people before? This Video will show the truth about the black involvement in the slave trade.
The people in South Africa will now have to work harder to fund their slave trader's gravy trains. They are already paying increased taxes on food. The past president Zuma of South Africa has put his people into more slavery now. Zuma has his so-called spiritual advisor side-kick Ray McCauley ( a prosperity gospel preacher of the Rhema Church) who endorsed him for the presidential elections. McCauley a professed bible believer has not rebuked Zuma once since he is also on the "prosperity gospel" train , for his own prosperity. So we see white and black "slave traders" working together to oppress others.
McCauley was of course the "chaplain" of the cricket team during SA Cricketer Hansie Cronje's match fixing scandal and downfall. I believe that same spirit of slavery was what caused Cronje to fall for money. If Cronje were a true believer, properly taught, he might have obeyed the keeping of the sabbath which would have prevented him from even getting into the world of sport and its temptations. He would have left Egypt in the dust.
Yes, Slavery comes in the form of Spiritual Slavery as well and people are falling under the Spiritual Slavery through the love of money. They break the sabbath to chase after their bling and thus will lose their souls by breaking the commandments of Yah'uah.
Not caring much for what
celebreties have to say, we
recently heard how Kanye West suggested that blacks chose their own
slavery or did not do enough to escape it. This has of course upset
many blacks. Kanye West however is
himself a slave to the music industry
and materialism and will thus lose his soul if he does not choose to
escape. So when he says blacks had a choice I believe he is speaking of
his own current enslavement by choice as a black to the world system
(run by black and white "slave traders" of the music industry). If you
read between the lines he is trying to say that he cannot escape the
slave trade he has chosen to be enslaved by. This should be a warning
to all who choose to sell a part of their soul and think it will end
well. You have a choice!1Ti
6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which
while
some coveted after, they have erred from the emunah / moral conviction
(pw- faith), and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mat 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
True believers of the bible however have come out of slavery like the Hebrews they have come out of Egypt's bondage. The symbol of slavery of the pagan world system is Egypt and the slave master was Pharoah. The world system today still tries to enslave everybody to work harder chasing after materialism. Their resulting consumerism then gets them enslaved into more debt and as the cycle continues they quickly forget about the commands of the Almighty and the eternal life that is promised hereafter.
Mar 4:19 And the cares of this world, and
the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in,
choke the word (To'rah), and it becomes unfruitful.
Pharoah made the people work harder. They had to not only lay the bricks but then were also told to make the bricks as well. They were kept so busy that they had no time to worship Yah'uah.
Bishop Desmond Tutu, another false teacher, in so many words, taught his people in South Africa that "bling" would bring them dignity. Then he wondered afterwards why South Africa has lost its moral compass . If one uses a Fong Kong compass instead of the WORD of Elohim one should not be surprised when the people are lost and have entered into the world of spiritual slavery (Egypt) all over again.
Does the Bible Promote Secular "Slavery" ?
"Slavery" seen in the Slave Trade of Africa was never condoned, suggested nor lawful in the bible. Elohim hates those who oppress people. Nobody is supposed to enslave a person. The Hebrew word is "ehbed" bond servant, this was the To'rah (law) for the Hebrew people living in the land of Israel. It is the law of the Almighty that all the people (Hebrews) agreed to uphold in a covenant with Him.In fact all believers in the bible who have made covenant with Yah'uah through His Son are spiritually called servants of Yah'uah since they are to be no longer servants of transgressing To'rah (pw -sinning), they stop transgressing Yah'uah's commands :
Rom
6:17 But Elohim be thanked, that you were the servants of
To'rah transgrsession (pw sin) ,
but have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was
delivered you.
Rom 6:18 Being then made free from To'rah transgression (pw- sin), you became the servants of righteousness.
Rom 6:18 Being then made free from To'rah transgression (pw- sin), you became the servants of righteousness.
The original covenant Yah'uah made with Abraham includes the law which required that a Hebrew who was unable to pay a debt to a fellow Hebrew would need to work for the master six years to redeem his debt. They were free to go after six years. Many chose to stay with their masters since they were treated well, as the To'rah required. They received housing and care for their wife if they had arrived with one. This ehbed / bond servant also was not permitted to WORK on the shabbat either. The sabbath was made for man (not for task masters only). This however is not seen in secular slave trade since it has nothing to do with the bible and everything to do with the corruption of it and its To'rah.
Exo
20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of Yah'uah thy
Elohim:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant (ehbed -
bond servant), nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor
thy stranger that is within thy gates:
A side note : There is an allegory here in that Yah'ushua came the first time as a servant (ehbed) and paid our debt, not with six years of his life but with his own blood and life since our transgression against his Father's To'rah required it. In this way we have been freed of our debt and choose to love the master and be his servant obeying his To'rah since we see the cost of our transgressions and his Son's loving offering as a suffering servant.
Getting back to ehbed - A Hebrew man then who
could not pay
his debt would become an indentured
servant.
In today's modern world I doubt anyone would call an indentured servant
of the US a slave. Yet celebrity Martha Stewart wanted to do community
work as an indentured servant for the state to pay back her "debt"
after she was found to be fiddling with the stock market. Did
any atheists protest
against the idea and call it "slavery"? She was facing a ten to 16
month prison term.Nobody would label this as barbaric "slavery trade" yet many atheists promote the idea that the bible is archaic and that it promoted "slavery" when in fact it promoted community service for debtors rather than prison.
Today however the practise of putting people in prison for being unable to pay a debt may sound like something you’d read about in a text book on the 18th century, but it's still done across the US today.
Recently (2016) a judge accused of running a debtors’ prison in Bogalusa, Lousiana, agreed to suspend the practice pending further review. Were it not for the fierce efforts of lawyers from the Southern Poverty Law Center, defendants in Judge Robert Black’s courtroom could still be jailed for having hundreds of dollars in outstanding fines which they have no ability to pay, slapped with additional late fees and deprived of their due process. This is happening all across the US in small towns and jurisdictions.
Spiritually weak so-called bible believers (aka Christians etc) everywhere are today enslaved by their jobs which they say prevent them from keeping the weekly sabbath (seventh day). The atheists then rightly point fingers at these so-called bible believers who are not keeping the sabbath as the bible commands. But it seems the atheists then like to have their cake and eat it since they are also the ones promoting the world system (Egypt) that, like Pharaoh, promotes breaking the sabbath by making men work on it. Many companies require that one works on the sabbath. Many landlords of malls often forbid shop renters from closing on the sabbath. These are examples of slavery under the world system.
When it comes to stealing a man who steals automatically makes himself a debtor to the person he has stolen from. However doing "time" in a prison is not how one repays a debtor. He is still a debtor to the victim of the theft. In fact the thief has cost the victim further costs in the form of tax dollars to have him housed in the prison where he often receives free education, food, gym membership, entertainment etc ...
Eph
4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him
labour,
working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to
give to him that needeth.
After this expense the thief may do his time and return to stealing again! So rather, it should be stated that the current world system is wrong and promotes wholesale indebtedness and unrepentant criminals. It is not the bible that is evil and it certainly does not promote secular slavery.
Captive Slaves in the Bible:
Besides the Hebrew ehbed / indentured slave there is another type of slave which is seen in the scriptures and this is what some would see as offensive and might mistakenly associate with the secular slave trade justified within corrupt colonialism etc. This is the person who was captured in battle by the Hebrew army. Instead of simply killing them their lives might be spared and they were made to serve as slaves instead.
Atheists once again would not always be quick accuse every secular army today of being barbaric for keeping prisoners of war yet when it comes to Yah'uah then they point a finger.
Once again these heathens had become captives in the first place since they had been serving pagan "gods" , committing horrendous acts and had thus become the enemies of Yah'uah and his people, some even offering their own children to be burnt to the idol Molech.
These captured slaves would have a chance to learn of To'rah and have a chance to convert and thus be spiritually free rather than in bondage to paganism and eternal destruction which they would face in any case on judgement day.
Heb 11:31 By moral conviction / emunah (pw -faith) the
harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she
had received the spies with shalom (pw-peace).
We see how Rahab was saved both from being killed in the fall of Jericho and from being a slave to her transgressions as a harlot because she chose to rather stand on the side of Elohim's people than defend her pagan city. She is recorded here in the scriptures and honored for this. She believed the warnings that the city would fall down by the hand of Yah'uah because of it's evil acts.
Jos 6:17 And the
city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to Yah'uah:
only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the
house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
Yah'uah allowed for any heathen who converted ie joined themselves to his covenant to then be treated as a fellow Hebrew equally under his To'rah.
Exo 12:49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and
unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Exo 23:9 Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for
ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land
of Egypt.
We see how even as late as in the Epistle of Philemon how Shaul ( Paul) pleads for Onesimus a slave who had previously run from his master but who had since converted. We see how Shaul applies the To'rah in dealing with a converted slave. We see how Shaul sees him as a son and a fellow servant in the work of Yah'uah even while Shaul himself is now jailed for preaching the good message. Shaul pleads to the master Philemon to show kindness towards the slave Onesimus and even offers to somehow pay the debt for his running away, but is hinting that Onesimus is paying his debt by doing a more important and useful work for the master, not of the earth but of the Master Elohim, hence his word play on "profitable / useful " (v11) which is the very meaning of the name Onesimus.
Paul's Plea for Onesimus
Phm 1:8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Mashiak to enjoin thee that which is convenient,
Phm 1:9 Yet for love's sake I rather beseech thee, being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Yah'ushua HaMashiak.
Phm 1:10 I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds:
Phm 1:11 Which in time past was to thee unprofitable, but now profitable to thee and to me:
Phm 1:12 Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels:
Phm 1:13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in thy stead he might have ministered unto me in the bonds of the good message (pw- gospel):
Phm 1:14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly.
Phm 1:15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
Phm 1:16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in Yah'uah?
Phm 1:17 If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as myself.
Phm 1:18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account;
Phm 1:19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own self besides.
Phm 1:20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in Yah'uah: refresh my bowels in Yah'uah.
Phm 1:21 Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say.
Phm 1:8 Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Mashiak to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

True Freedom from Slavery Promoted in the Bible:
The "politically correct" view of blacks being abused only by whites must stop and atheists must not point fingers at the bible but rather look deeply at individual transgressions (their own included) against the moral law of Yah'uah, that have been committed in the name of the bible by both black and white oppressors and betrayers of the truth who seek only their own benefits.
Each individual will be judged by his own actions according to his knowledge of what the bible TRULY says is right and wrong.
Many think they are free, yet they have been enslaved by human rights thinking which does away with Yah'uah's commands. In South Africa, for instance, the Human Rights capital of the world ushered in by the human rights idol Nelson Mandela, so-called "Freedom Day" is celebrated every year.
2Pe 2:19 While they promise them liberty,
they themselves are the servants
of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same
is he brought in bondage.
Jacob
Zuma former president of South Africa, the epitomy of corruption, both
in the spiritual and material
sense, fits the title "servant of corruption" very well. But the people
who follow this fake freedom will continue to believe they are free
since they see freedom as freedom to trangress Yah'uah's To'rah which
allows them to gain the
lusts of their flesh. Some are even prepared to "bear their buttocks"
in support of such a corrupt man as Zuma. They are not ashamed of their
enslavement to To'rah transgression and those who promote it. This is
no different to
the many Israelites who rebelled against Yah'uah.Jer
6:15 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
no,
they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they
shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit them they
shall be cast down, says Yah'uah.
These enslaved to their To'rah transgression cannot see their destruction ahead when Yah'uah will cast them and their "slave trader" they have chosen to be enslaved by into the fire to be destroyed, soul and body.
Today all people (black, white, yellow, pink, purple....)
are making choices themselves to choose whether they want to be
enslaved to debt,
to slave masters,
to politician's empty promises
and most of all to To'rah transgression.
We have the choice to obey the bible and be free and have eternal life
no matter what colour we
are since the Creator created us all
and sent his Son for all of us
to be able to choose eternal life.
Joh
8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be
free indeed
Repent, receive this freedom and obey Yah'uah's To'rah today -become his obedient ehbed / servant.
Repent, receive this freedom and obey Yah'uah's To'rah today -become his obedient ehbed / servant.
