I can do this as well.
Ps 47:8
God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne.
Col 1:16
For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities - all things were created through him and for him.
1 Chron 29:11, 12
Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all
We can write all the scriptures about God being above all, in control of all; that He alone both sets up and brings down governments.
It has nothing to do with whether or not Christians should be involved in civil government. Nothing. So yes, to answer the same question you ask over and over, yes God is in control.
No one is arguing that.
Here's a question for you: Do you believe God to be so limited and small that He cannot be in control if a Christian becomes involved in civil government? Does God suddenly lose power?
Please show me a scripture which says Christians should not be involved in civil government, not these others about God ruling above all.
