I think it was David Curtis who did a sermon in Romans 13 and he suggested the God ordained authority had to do with the Jewish order and those appointed by God, the temple and that sort. It would be more in line with the thrust of Romans from the immediate chapters, in my opinion. The suggestion that gentile converts in particular had no respect for those those in authority whom God has appointed in the synagogues. Denying their own messiah. Its easy enough to follow a government when they are doing good I am not sure we should follow the likes of say a Stalin if we lived under him or even some of our own leaders who push all sorts of ungodly laws, from abortion to taking children from the parents if they won't agree to gender reassignment. Should we submit to them if they try force us to inject who knows what into our bodies based on the words of greedy drug companies? Not a hill to die on.

Yeah I preached this sermon 2 years ago and I’m not sure I got it right. I heard another interpretation that Jesus is borrowing from the OT to essentially say Caesar has no right to anything. I haven’t studied it out though.
