License is lordship under other gods

Why won't I obtain a driver license? Because I'm going to hell!54 Revelation 14:9-11 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, "If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name." It's not just a simple plastic card with a picture on it. It represents my loyalty to other gods. What will we be doing when the Lord comes?55 Matthew 24:44- 51 "Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master made ruler over his household, to give them food in due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master, when he comes, will find so doing. Assuredly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all his goods. But if that evil servant says in his heart, 'My master is delaying his coming,' and begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is not looking for him and at an hour that he is not aware of, and will cut him in two and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Will He see us standing for the Kingdom of Heaven? Will we be working diligently evangelizing for the Kingdom of Heaven? Or will He find us participating in lordship programs with other gods because we didn't think He was coming back? No, I don't believe this is a small matter - the driver license is not a joke. The driver license is prima facie evidence, for you legalists, of the relationship that you have with other gods.56 Matthew 7:16 "You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?" When you reach into your back pocket and pull out a driver license issued by Satan, don't tell me you know the Kingdom of Heaven. I think someone caught you. I think they deceived you. I think there was a lot of verbal abuse to convince even the elect,57 Matthew 24:24 "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." that men should rule over men and not be ruled over by God.58 1 Samuel 8:6-7 But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us." So Samuel prayed to the LORD. And the LORD said to Samuel, "Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them." Why the statement, "We must obey God rather than men?"59 Acts 5:29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: "We ought to obey God rather than men." Because that's the Kingdom of Heaven. In the kingdoms of the world, men rule over men. That is why the city authorities are troubled.60 Acts 17:6-7 But when they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some brethren to the rulers of the city, crying out, "These who have turned the world upside down have come here too. Jason has harbored them, and these are all acting contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying there is another king; Jesus." We are attacking the very heart of the world - men ruling over men. If you take away men ruling over men, there is no place for the city authorities. What would they find themselves doing? Serving one another. Isn't that what they should have been doing in the first place? And isn't it interesting how every single one of those cities, counties, states and nations started? They started by serving.
