You realize that this is a meme thread. You can pray for them but I won't be joining you.

Once governments flipped their institutional purpose by God and started calling evil good and good evil, I no longer recognize their authority under your posted passage nor will I pray for reprobates. You however, can knock yourself out.

You bring up an interesting issue inadvertently though: If God is still raising kings and lowering them then why the need to pray for them? There is no command as such in the OT when He actually did raise and lower them.

How many times have the Kings of Israel have gone bad?

Read the exhortation from Paul to Timothy again as this is addressing EVEN unbelievers in power.

1 Timothy 2: I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

God can still intervene and save those you meme and even redirect their steps to do good rather than evil.

Proverbs 16:9 A man's heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.

Remember Cyrus? That prophesy in Isaiah was given centuries before Cyrus was born and he was an unbeliever and an idolator but yet God used Him for His purpose. That tetsifies to His sovereignty.

So do not get mad when the world gets worse and worse but pray for them as Jesus is still Lord.

Psalm 92:5 O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

8 But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.

Anyway, just consider how memes about all the evils in the world may be funny but in reality, it isn't funny but a serious matter for why believers need to pray.

Would you like people making fun of you when you sin and you did not know what you were doing? Loving our neighbors, AND even our enemies, is something I need the Lord's help to do and so do you to forgive them for they know not what they do as we suffer this grief in our nation and in our lives.

Jesus set the example for us;

Luke 23:33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.

34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

Peter exhorts us that suffer to hope in Jesus Christ to help us to follow Him without malice even unto death.

1 Peter 2:11 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

I have an idea. Since this is a meme thread why not start another on this subject?

You could say that I am doing this out of season for your sake.

2 Timothy 4:1I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

I am now asking you to pray that the Lord keeps you from using meme thread as a cloak of maliciousness.

1 Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

Since this is the second admonition for how you are using this thread after the initial suggestion to pray for these people rather than mock or debase them by meme, I will leave the thread now.

Thanks and remember God is our Judge. I have full confidence in His Righteous Judgement. Also remember that virtue signaling is borne of hypocrisy (Matthew 6:2,5,16). Don't forget to judge yourself once in a while and pray for me too.

At last it’s revealed:Thumbsup isn’t this what Hitler attempted todo with the Poles & all Slavs, Jews, Gypsies etc. And how about Stalin and the Ukrainians, the independent farmers… so now it has been unmasked, the hidden agenda of the oligarchs… to reduce the lives of the common human being in order to steal their land, the gold in their teeth, and eliminate their need of food, health care, shelter etc. So much the better if they had never been born.

Isn't This in truth a subtle genocide?;)
