Be Subject to Governing Authorities
| |||
Rom 13:1 Let every person submit himself to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are put in place by God.
Rom 13:2 So whoever opposes the authority has resisted God’s direction, and those who have resisted will bring judgment on themselves.
Explanation:
Origin of Rom 13:
Ex 18:1-27, Num 11:10-30. Deu 1:9-18, Deu 16:18-20, Deu 17:6-13
Who are the leaders chosen by?
Was Moses perfect?
Are we looking for a flawless leader?
Human instinct to throw off authority or to discredit leadership?
God’s gifts are irrevocable (Rom 11:29)
Authority structure in the Tanak (Judah’s role):
- Gen 49:10
- Judah leads, Gen 44:8, 46:28, Ex 31:1-5, Num 7:12, 10:14, 1Chr 5:1,2, 28:4, Ps 60:7, Jer 33:14-26, Zech 12:4-9, Hosea 11:12
It is no surprise that Judah is the first back in the land (Promise) today. This fact is our best proof, that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the One True God.
Why does Yeshua mention the prodigal son? Luke 15:11-45
