open, organized, and armed resistance to one's government or ruler.

resistance to or defiance of any authority, control, or tradition.

the act of rebelling.

An evil man seeketh only rebellion: therefore a cruel messenger shall be sent against him.

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
