Romans 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
The second English “resisteth” and “they that resist” emboldened in Romans 13:2 were translated from Greek verb 436 anthistemi from a compound of Greek preposition 473 anti meaning in lieu of and Greek verb 2476 histemi meaning to stand. Greek verb 436 anthistemi means to stand in lieu of others. God performs the action of Greek verb 436 anthistemi and God’s “seven thousand” “election” receives the action God performs during this earth age.
