Yoke

Is there a judgment and salvation side to Yoke? Let's examine.

Ro 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

SUMMARY CONCLUSION

The Bible appears to be associating Yoke with Christ. To take His yoke and Burden would seem to relate to Salvation. However in tribulation, the Church comes to be under the Yoke of Bondage. Meaning it is now under the bondage of Antichrist rather than the Yoke of Christ. And when God separates the wheat from the tares, God breaks the Yoke of their bondage in bringing them back to Christ.
