All kings and national rulers have always had a seal. Here is the US Presidential seal. What all is contained in the seal? The territory of the US. The symbol of the US, and the President's coat of arms symbolizing his authority to make laws inside the territory of the earth in which he has authority.
God, as the ruler of the universe also has His own seal. Where do we find it? In the 4th commandment.
Exodus 20: 8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
So inside the 4th commandment we find the name of the ultimate authority. The Lord is His name. His dominion over which He has the ultimate authority? Heaven and earth.. So that makes God the ultimate authority over the universe which includes making laws.
If we flaunt the authority of the US and refuse to jeep the laws of the US are we good citizens, or rebels? I say we are rebels rebelling against the earthly authority of where we live.
How about when we live in God's universe? Are we rebels flaunting His authority and rebelling against Him when we refuse to keep His laws? I say yes.
Just as the US has the legal authority to punish those who break it's laws so God has the legal authority to punish those who beak His laws.
This ought to be a serious warning to those who think they can flaunt God's authority without consequences as He is the ultimate power and authority over the entire universe.
