The Rejection of God's Rule
The disobedience of mankind and rejection of God's reign surfaced over and over again. The children of Israel once declared that they wanted a king to rule them instead of God's ordained government.
But this thing displeased Samuel when they said, "Give us a king to judge us ..."
And the Lord said unto 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." 1 Samuel 8:6-7
This attitude is the same attitude that we see today. Mankind desires to live his life as if he is in control. Unfortunately, this attitude will lead a person to an unending death.
