A new parable of the ten pounds

Xhrist delivered the following to four men one day: I will divide ten pounds between four people, to you two I giving three pounds and two to whom I shall give two. One week later He comes across all four. One to whom He gave three pounds states, I bought some fish and sold them, making me a profit of four pounds. The other to whom was given three pounds states that he did the same and made a profit of five pounds. One who was given two pounds apologizes and states that his family had little to eat and so he spent the money on fish and simply fed them and the other given two pounds states that he had kept the money but knowing that his brother had little money to feed his family would now help support that brother, giving the two pounds to he. Jesus states to the other two, This man is in heaven already and the poor man now has a brother that shall help him achieve the same. The two that had received three pounds then agreed to dedicate their lives to helping the poor and with this Xhrist did help four achieve Oneness

Where does Romans 13 say that God has put us in authority? The chapter opens:

NKJV Rom 13:1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

The "governing authorities" as far as the Romans were concerned were Nero and the other leaders of the Roman empire.
I would say you'd be pretty correct as far as a "monarchy" as THEE "governing authority" is concerned.
But with a pretty high degree of confidence?
"Governing Authorities" as well as "Monarchy's" ARE (how can I say) "On a RUNAWAY TRAIN headed DOWNHILL on the road to hell!"......"WITH A TAILWIND"
To which?
I believe God has more or less? DIVORCED Himself from the situation!
Although "churchianiy", along with the "pasifisistic ones'" won't believe nor accept it!
Rather puts one's like YOURSELF in the SAME boat as the Priests and High Priests and scribes and pharasees were hundreds to a thousand years BEFORE the Sending of Christ to be born from a virgin!

THEY? As well as ones' like yourself?
Just "takin' a cruise on the love boat" on some river in Egypt!
Waitin' on God to DO "something!"
