Look at my posting in 36 regarding the “higher authorities” that rule America. The “highest authorities” are US!...our elected officials rule with “OUR CONSENT” as “we the People”!

If you are saying what i think you are, its we the people who are becoming wicked and so we put wicked people in the high places, and i agree.

P.S
Good comment.

“we the people” are the “higher authorities” of America, not the “kings and Ceasars” of Paul’s day. Heaven help us because the temporal and eternal responsibility for such sins that go on in our nation falls more broadly upon the body politic than it would if we were ruled by corrupt kings.

The books of the Judges and of Samuel show the pattern of moral decline from theocratic republic to monarchy and finally thru the books of Kings/Chronicles and the prophets...national dissolution,mass killings,famines,and slavery!
