Who is commanded to be subject to the higher powers?

Les teaches that Romans chapter 13 addresses the believer's attitude toward government. Paul admonishes the believer to recognize that every central government is there by divine appointment. He says, 'Let every soul, every person, saved and unsaved, be subject unto the higher powers.' The higher powers means civil government, not the Godhead. Everyone must give regard to his civil central government, for there is no power but of God; the powers that be are ordained of God. Even leaders like Hitler were there by God's sovereign divine appointment, and whenever America has someone in the White House we may not be proud of, he is still there by God's sovereign divine appointment. Democracy allows complaining, but that does not remove this admonition.
