I think the personification of non-human or super-human forces confuses the conversation. Anarchy = no human rulers.

That's the thing about Jesus, He is fully God and fully man.
Yeah, that's not really useful in this context. Jesus isn't a person commanding others to go around & collect taxes. Voluntarily funded organizations are not governments. What distinguishes govt from business & charity is forced funding.
Right. My point is, if we structured our nation's under the rule of King Jesus, it would eliminate government tyranny. When the Israelites asked for a King God warned them that human government would be tyrannical. Until then they had God as King. They chose human government and rejected God as their King.
Check 1 Samuel 8
When God freed the Israelis from slavery in Egypt He could have given them any kind of government He wanted to, a democracy even. Instead, He gave them the best form of government possible, anarchy, i.e., no earthly rulers, with Himself as king. But they didn't realize how good they had it; they wanted a human king like all of the other nations around them, and voluntarily subjected themselves to taxation and slavery again...
