The Watchtower, “Subjection to the Higher Powers”

15 de novembro de 1950 · pp.439-448 · p. 441 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society

“The conclusions arrived at were published in the June 1 and 15, 1929, issues of The Watchtower in the article, in two parts, entitled “The Higher Powers”. … Romans 13:1-7 has since 1929 been taken by Jehovah's witnesses to be instructions on rendering to God what belongs to God. Why? Because the expression “the higher powers” is now understood to mean primarily the Most High God and his reigning Son Jesus Christ.”

Restates and defends the 1929 interpretation; also says 'Up till 1928 they, too, had held to the ecclesiastical interpretation of Romans 13:1-7'.
