Their authority while they are in power is indeed established by God
for God.
>From Colossians 1:
15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all
creation. 16For by him all things were created: things in heaven and
on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers
or authorities; all things were created by him and for him.
May God add His blessings to the writing of His Word, in Christ's holy
name.
Amen.
You remain in my prayers, dear Bob whom I love.
