Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Romans 13:1
Rome was the fourth kingdom spoken of in the dreams of Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel prophecied that the kingdom of God would crush that kingdom. What was God thinking? Rome rose up to crucify Jesus, and persecute the church beyond measure, but the power of God overcame it. We are the benefactors of those terrible days, and that's what God was thinking. We should think before we criticize God's selections. God knows what He is doing, and most of the time we don't.
