Rebellion is a direction.  It leads away from the Lord.   In the Lord there are blessings.  Outside of the Lord there is wasting away to destruction and nothingness.<p>Iniquity occurs when a person^s heart is completely separated from the Lord.   It is an end-game state in which the individual no longer chooses but acts out of the power that has overcome him.<p>Rebellion comes out of trusting our own selves, thinking our own thoughts and determining that we know better than the Lord.<p>The mighty men are ^experts^ who are merely human beings who have either elevated themselves or been elevated by others to the place of a prophet.  What these SecularProphets speak are then received as truth and acted upon by those who revere them.<p>We see that these are FalseProphets as they have lied and deceived the masses.<p>Trusting in our own understanding and choosing our own directions is foolishness, to be rewarded with destruction.
