How do we know that God is in control of rulers and authorities?

Throughout scripture, we find ample evidence that God is sovereign over all earthly authorities. Daniel 2:21 clearly states, 'He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings.' This indicates that God intervenes in the affairs of men, placing individuals in positions of power according to His divine will. This sovereignty means that even when rulers enact plans contrary to God's people, such as Haman's plot against the Jews, it ultimately serves God's purpose and glory, evidencing that God remains sovereign in every political sphere.
