How do we know God's sovereignty over governments is true?

Answered in 3 sources

God’s sovereignty over governments is confirmed through Scripture, which teaches that He establishes and removes rulers according to His divine plans.

The sovereignty of God over earthly governments is a profound doctrine underscored in multiple biblical passages. Romans 13:1 states unequivocally that 'there is no authority except from God,' indicating that all governing bodies operate under His ultimate authority. This sovereignty transcends cultural and political contexts, assuring believers that even in oppressive regimes, God maintains control and facilitates His redemptive purposes. Furthermore, in Revelation 11:15, it is declared that the kingdoms of this world will ultimately become the kingdoms of our Lord, illustrating the certainty of God's sovereignty being fulfilled throughout history, culminating in the eternal reign of Christ.
