So you are saying God is not sovereign in setting up government.
You can't have it both ways. God is sovereign, or he is not.
God is head of all principality and power, or He is not.
You seem double minded, so I'm done with trying to understand your position.

It is obvious that you, as with many who take on these subjects; are simply not very good at it.
Case in point: God was every bit as Sovereign as He has always been when He ALLOWED His Son to be Crucified.
And there are MANY examples like that (of His ALLOWING all sorts of man's following his own course) throughout Scripture.
The very planet itself is under "the bondage of corruption..."
Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 8:21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Until HE once more speaks HIS desired course for ALL things - in HIS time.
1 Timothy 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 6:14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 6:15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Until then...the awful things that happen to people - either as the result of man's inhumanity to man, or as a result, say, of an earthquake; you name it - will continue to.
It is YOURS that is double-speak.
Your obvious incompetence at your task is in the way of your seeing what are actually YOUR inconsistencies.
Get a clue - in fact; several.
Get back to The Book; Is. 8:20.
