The idea is that the authoritites (all authorities) are ultimately under God's sovereign control, whether they acknowledge Him or not. Compare Proverbs 21:
1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD;
he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.
(NIV)
Aw... That explains things. Our authorities have no heart to be controlled.

But seriously, you need to accept my invitation.
