In the vision of end-time Babylon described in Revelation 18, the commerce includes not only material goods but also the bodies and souls of men, indicating that Babylon enslaves the heart. A voice from heaven calls God's people to come out of her to avoid sharing in her sins and receiving her plagues. The Feast of Unleavened Bread serves as a memorial of God's deliverance from the present evil age and the power of darkness, reminding us to ensure we do not become enslaved again. Scripture, particularly in Exodus 13 and 20, emphasizes remembering God's deliverance from Egypt, the house of bondage, as the primary reason for observing this feast. The phrase "house of bondage," used thirteen times in relation to Egypt, carries a subtext of rebellion and warns that ignoring God could lead to a return to slavery. God's introduction to the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 underscores His authority as the One who delivered Israel from bondage, implying that adherence to His commands is essential to remaining free. God's law, described as the law of liberty in James, is given to prevent re-enslavement by defining sin, which enslaves. The commandments against idolatry and the observance of the Sabbath, as highlighted in Deuteronomy 5, are foundational to maintaining freedom. Warnings in Deuteronomy 8 and 6 caution against forgetting God amidst prosperity, noting that forgetting Him by neglecting His commandments leads to spiritual bondage. In Deuteronomy 13, God uses the phrase "house of bondage" to remind His people of their past lack of freedom, warning that serving any god other than the true God, or worshiping Him contrary to His commands, results in slavery. This extends to modern contexts where influential voices may lead away from God's way, requiring intimate knowledge of His instructions to discern and avoid such influences. Jesus, in John 8, teaches that abiding in His word leads to knowing the truth, which sets us free, emphasizing that true freedom comes from the Son. He counters the notion of never being in bondage by stating that whoever commits sin is a slave to sin, highlighting that sin restricts freedom. True freedom lies in worshiping the true God as He instructs, avoiding bondage to the world, its ruler, and sin itself. In Romans 7, Paul describes the struggle with sin as bringing captivity, yet he acknowledges that deliverance comes through Jesus Christ, indicating that deliverance is a process. Even as we await final deliverance, we must identify areas of spiritual bondage and strive for freedom through full surrender to God. Romans 12 warns against being conformed to this world, likening it to being squeezed into its mold, which contrasts with the perfect will of God and leads to enslavement. Colossians 3 identifies covetousness as idolatry, which enslaves the heart, a tactic exploited by end-time Babylon through advertising that encourages desire and pulls at human inclinations. Romans 6 reinforces that we become slaves to whomever we obey, whether sin leading to death or obedience leading to righteousness, urging us to yield to Christ's righteousness to remain free from sin and the entanglements of this world.
