Bondage
A young elephant is tied, by a chain, to a metal stake in the ground. The stake is long and deep into the earth. The young elephant tries and tries to get away with no success. The young elephant is just not strong enough to break the chain or pull up the stake. As time passes, it stops trying to get itself away from being tied.
When it is older, though it’s trunk, alone, can lift one ton, it doesn’t try to get away from the stake in the ground. The elephant is tied, by rope, to a wooden stake that is hammered into the earth a couple of feet. The elephant will not try to get away because it believes it can’t. The elephant is in bondage.

I would like to emphasis that many churches and religions are built on the writings and beliefs of human beings. I am not saying that all these human beings were not inspired and led, in SPIRIT, by YH’SHWH, but YH’SHWH led them in their belief; in their life.
There are many churches that call themselves “New Testament” churches. They claim to follow and live YH’SHWH’s WORD. They claim to be led by HIS SPIRIT.
_______
MT 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
MT 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
MT 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify ABBA which is in heaven.
MT 5:17 Think not that I AM come to destroy the LAW, or the prophets: I AM not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
MT 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
MT 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
_______
MT 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the LAW and the prophets.
_______
MT 22:36 Master, which is the GREAT COMMANDMENT in the LAW?
MT 22:37 YH’SHWH said unto him, Thou shalt love the LORD thy GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
MT 22:38 This is the FIRST and GREAT COMMANDMENT.
MT 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
MT 22:40 On these two COMMANDMENTs hang all the LAW and the prophets.
_______
JN 14:15 If ye love ME, keep MY COMMANDMENTs.
JN 14:16 And I will pray ABBA, and HE shall give you another COMFORTER, that HE may abide with you for ever;
JN 14:17 Even the SPIRIT of TRUTH; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth HIM not, neither knoweth HIM: but ye know HIM; for HE dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
JN 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
JN 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth ME no more; but ye see ME: because I live, ye shall live also.
JN 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I AM in ABBA, and ye in ME, and I in you.
JN 14:21 He that hath MY COMMANDMENTs, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth ME: and he that loveth ME shall be loved of ABBA, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
JN 14:22 Judas saith unto HIM, not Iscariot, LORD, how is it that thou wilt manifest THYSELF unto us, and not unto the world?
JN 14:23 YH’SHWH answered and said unto him, If a man love ME, he will keep MY WORDs: and ABBA will love him, and WE will come unto him, and make HOME with him.
JN 14:24 He that loveth ME not keepeth not MY SAYINGs: and the WORD which ye hear is not MINE, but ABBA's which sent ME.
JN 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
JN 14:26 But the COMFORTER, which is ABBA’s SPIRIT, whom ABBA will send in MY NAME, HE shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
JN 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
JN 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved ME, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto ABBA: for ABBA is greater than I.
JN 14:29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
JN 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in ME.
JN 14:31 But that the world may know that I love ABBA; and as ABBA gave ME COMMANDMENT, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
JN 15:1 I AM the TRUE VINE, and ABBA is the husbandman.
JN 15:2 Every branch in ME that beareth not fruit HE taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, HE purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
JN 15:3 Now ye are clean through the WORD which I have spoken unto you.
JN 15:4 Abide in ME, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in ME.
JN 15:5 I AM the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in ME, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without ME ye can do nothing.
JN 15:6 If a man abide not in ME, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
JN 15:7 If ye abide in ME, and MY WORDs abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
JN 15:8 Herein is ABBA glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be MY DISCIPLEs.
JN 15:9 As ABBA hath loved ME, so have I loved you: continue ye in MY LOVE.
JN 15:10 If ye keep MY COMMANDMENTSs, ye shall abide in MY LOVE; even as I have kept ABBA's commandments, and abide in HIS LOVE.
JN 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
JN 15:12 This is MY COMMANDMENT, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you.
JN 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
JN 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you.

2TIM 3:14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
2TIM 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known HOLY SCRIPTUREs, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in MESSIAH YH’SHWH.
2TIM 3:16 All SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of GOD, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2TIM 3:17 That the man of GOD may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2TIM 4:1 I charge thee therefore before GOD, and the LORD YH’SHWH the MESSIAH, who shall judge the quick and the dead at HIS appearing and HIS kingdom;
2TIM 4:2 Preach the WORD; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2TIM 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2TIM 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from TRUTH, and shall be turned unto fables.
2TIM 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

All these things were said of the WORD/LAW of YH’SHWH. Many churches/religions are built on the writings of the New Testament, but they do not listen to what these letters are saying.
These letters (New Testament) are the GOOD NEWS of YH’SHWH fulfilling HIS WORD. They are directing US to YH’SHWH’s WORD.
If the New Testament did not exist, in the time these letters were written, what WORD/LAW are they speaking of?

ISAIAH to MALACHI
