Obedience to God is always better than subjection to the usurpers of divine rule.
Obedience is personal responsibility; it is action and motivation undertaken freely toward God's will. It is a choice. Obedience to God is freedom.
Subjection is top down, from humans who take themselves to be false gods, whether they know it or not. In subjection, the ruler makes demands and forbids choice. Subjection to false gods is slavery.

Inspiration: "Submission to the law created by men makes one a slave; obedience to the law created by God makes one free" (Tolstoy).
