Somehow I think people miss-understand that passage. I would suggest “subjection to the governing authorities” didn’t include the anti Christ. I would also suggest the inclusion of verse 3 which states “For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong”. Doesn’t that qualify which rulers are put in place by God. Across the board “submission” isn’t what Paul was promoting I would think.
I would agree that we are not to follow evil leaders and sin in the process ... but that does not mean that that authority was not put in place by God ... scripture is clear that everyone with authority was placed in that position by God and will do as God has ordained...
Do I understand all of that ...nope.. but God has a plan and He will complete it
