*Strong's Concordance (5021)
tassó: to draw up in order, arrange
Original Word: τάσσω
Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: tassó
Phonetic Spelling: (tas'-so)
Definition: to draw up in order, arrange
Usage: (a) I assign, arrange, (b) I determine; mid: I appoint.
""Higher powers" = the powers that be" = rulers or governments
So what that verse is saying is that earthly rulers and governments are appointed by God to exist and to rule, so that every nation is under some kind of law and order and this is God's will. But that does not mean that God picks evil rulers to take control. That would violate the character of God.
Proverbs 29:2 - When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

if i take Romans 13 to mean that God just in an abstract way determines that some kind of human government must exist, why does Paul command that we should subject ourselves to it? and Paul wrote this while Nero was caesar!
