In Milton's Paradise Lost,
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.67
he has a great
rebellion in heaven,
00:00:03.70\00:00:06.60
and Lucifer,
Satan, the archfiend,
00:00:06.63\00:00:10.61
questioning God's government,
saying, "I can do it better."
00:00:10.64\00:00:13.78
In fact, famously,
in one of his speeches,
00:00:13.81\00:00:17.01
he says "Better to rule in
hell than serve in heaven."
00:00:17.05\00:00:21.52
The spirit of
rebellion has been with us
00:00:21.55\00:00:24.32
for thousands of years.
00:00:24.35\00:00:26.32
The spirit of rebellion
00:00:26.35\00:00:27.69
is not just in
the religious sphere.
00:00:27.72\00:00:29.56
We need to be
careful as Christians
00:00:29.59\00:00:31.89
and people of good
faith and people looking
00:00:31.93\00:00:33.96
to the ultimate
ruler of the universe
00:00:34.00\00:00:36.16
that we don't question
authority and change rules.
00:00:36.20\00:00:39.93
And as the Bible
says, "Times and seasons
00:00:39.97\00:00:42.44
just for the
sake of changing them.
00:00:42.47\00:00:44.94
We need to adhere to
the absolutes of morality
00:00:44.97\00:00:48.24
and justice as God gives them."
