How do we know that God's sovereignty includes the actions of oppressors?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states that God is sovereign over all authorities, including oppressors, for His purpose.

God's sovereignty is exemplified in how He utilizes oppressors according to His divine plan. In Romans 9:17, God raises Pharaoh to show His power, illustrating that even those who oppose Him are ultimately serving a purpose under His control. This is further supported by passages like Isaiah 63:1, where God is depicted as coming from Edom, illustrating His authority even over those who appear to be adversarial. Thus, even oppressors cannot act outside of God's ordained purpose.
