“By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.”
There is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist have been instituted by him. Whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. So says the apostle Paul, in one of the most quoted Bible passages of the last five years.
Well, the writer to the Hebrews says that the parents of Moses resisted the authority of their day as an act of faith.
