In times past he spoke to the fathers by the prophets. Now he speaks to us by his son.

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord,
He hath also rejected thee from being king.
Rebellion is to say
To say God has a plan and not participate in it is rebellion
++God has a plan and not participate.
++I believe the Bible and not read.
++I believe God and not obey him.
The spirit of rebellion seeks an alternative to simple obedience.

When we seek alternatives
++We are blinded to truth.
++We are calloused toward God's real plan.
++We kick against the Goads.
Because we have settled for a substitute.
A substitute can never replace obedience.

7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.

Now it is time that believers
++Garner a new perspective.
++Recognize the thing of greatest value.
It is not our stuff
++Power
++Position
++Possessions
His rule in our life provides
