[source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustus)

# [ The Birth of Jesus ] In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

Luke 2:1, 4-5 NIV

# TAXATION AND THE BIRTH OF THE SAVIOR
The government at that time represented by Augustus Caesar wanted to taxed the people, that's why they issued a decree for census. Joseph had to obey, and with Mary who was expecting a child had to go with him. In the event the Savior was born, but still the people are not saved from Taxation. For as long as we are under human government, taxation has to continue.

How I long for that Kingdom government of God, when there's no more human government to force us for levy. How I long for a real liberty. Yes the Kingdom of God is now in our heart, but as long us we are still in the present world order under human control through what they call government, freedom is still at a long distant reality.

"Oh Let Your Kingdom come as it is in Heaven..."
