Jeffress is the man who proclaimed that "In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un". He based it on a far-fetched interpretation of Romans 13:1-7 (which I would quote if not for the character limitation). Jeffress says that this passage means that Trump is appointed by God and can do as he likes. (Of course, that interpretation also says that Kim Jong Un is also appointed by God, but Jeffress ignores that.)

This passage does not give "governing authorities" absolute power, as God only approves of them when they do good. This passage also doesn't say we are to submit under all circumstances. The Apostles told the Jewish authorities, "We must obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29).

Romans 13 addresses the state and its relations with its citizens. It is not about how a state deals with other nations. It does not give rulers carte blanche to respond to another nation any way they please.

Military action shouldn't be based on a misuse of scripture.
