How do we know God's sovereignty extends over governments?

The sovereignty of God includes His control over all governments and authorities on earth. Daniel 2:21 states, 'He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others.' This reflects God’s ability to raise leaders for His purposes, whether they are benevolent rulers or tyrants. As Christians, we can trust that no matter who is in power, God is ultimately in control, orchestrating history according to His divine will. The success of His kingdom is not dependent on earthly authorities, but upon His grace and mercy.
