Why does God allow evil authorities and rulers to exist?

Answered in 1 source

God's ultimate plan incorporates all powers, even those that are corrupted.

The sermon posits that while evil authorities and rulers may misuse their power, their existence is part of God's sovereign decree. Romans 13:1 teaches that all governing authorities are established by God, which means He allows them to serve His purposes even when they act unjustly. This serves as a poignant reminder that God's overarching plan is not thwarted by human wickedness; rather, He uses such circumstances to fulfill His sovereign will, ultimately leading to the good of His people. This understanding encourages believers to trust that God is still in control and that even adverse situations will serve His purpose.
