God's culture is one of harmony and Satan's kingdom is one of anarchy.

The solution for bad governance is not no governance, but appealing to God's governance to fix the broken governance.

And civil disobedience is the opposite of anarchy.

Anarchy is trying to destroy and eradicate the rule of law.

Civil disobedience is appealing to God's law.

So what it is, civil disobedience rightly done actually honors and appeals to law,

whereas anarchy opposes and destroys law.

That being said, in the Old Testament, I'll give you a couple cases of disobedience.

There were midwives in the Book of Exodus and they were told,

as soon as a Jewish lady gives birth, kill that kid.

And they said, not going to do it.

That's infanticide and racism.

They won't do it.

Again, in the book of Daniel, for those of you who are with us, did Daniel ever practice civil disobedience?

Yeah, he did.

Eat the King's food, which is literally participate in the counterfeit communion meal to Marduk instead of Jesus.

He said we won't eat the food.

That was civil disobedience.

Later on, his buddies were told, okay, there's this big statue of Nebuchanese,

its emperor worship, just like North Korea, just like Rome.

Everybody bow down. Hundreds of thousands bow down.

Daniel's buddies, don't.
