Show me in scripture where He advocated rebellion against the Roman authorities.

Reference to Roman authority is unnecessary, as 1) we are not under Roman authority, and 2) the principle is amply demonstrated in other contexts so as to make the point clear. For example:

Exodus 1:16-17 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live. But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

Or, as when Nebuchadnezzar ordered homage to his statue, the believer’s response was, and had to be, defiance:

Dan 3:16-18 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

More examples available upon request ...

If you wish to counsel and/or personally

support a satanic government in any way or respect . . .

and if you think THAT would be Godly . . .

I can’t imagine that there’s anything useful I can say to you.

I personally believe that each person is responsible to ask God where HE would have them draw the line between obeying God vs man and when man has demanded to much against God’s priorities.

The Living Word within us . . . HIS HOLY SPIRIT is to be our moment by moment guide in concert with Scripture.

I can’t imagine that kowtowing to the AntiChrist will be applauded by God in the slightest.

Peter said in the Acts Of Apostles that Christians have to OBEY GOD rather then man. These times call for such. God Bless those who put the Manhattan Declaration together and signed it as well.
