There are no Apostles or Prophets now. Many Teachers, Evangelist and Pastors are, all too often now, false teachers evangelists and pastors only interested in deception of the gullible for personal gain.

it's not that there are NO apostles or prophets. (And yes I realize that's a double negative.)
it's more likely there are plenty of them, each involved with a small discreet group of believers.
staying out of the limelight, lest the message be perverted or the enemy infiltrate a larger group (which is easier, think herd/mob mentality).
keeping your circles small and running a tight ship, and then all joining together at the end is probably what it will take.
just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they/we are not out here doing the work and keeping the faith.

Real G's move in silence like lasagna.

Couldn't have said it better myself! And you, are correct! If it's in the scriptures, it will never pass away and is always relevant for whatever times we find ourselves in. Something that Paul said the Galatians in Chp 3...😊 Yes, we can apply that for today! 😂🙏🔥

Romans 13:1 has been variously rendered: “Let every soul be in subjection to the superior authorities, for there is no authority except by God; the existing authorities stand placed in their relative positions by God.” (NW) “Let every subject be obedient to the ruling authorities, for there is no authority not under God’s control, and under His control the existing authorities have been constituted.” (We) “Everyone must obey the state authorities, for no authority exists without God’s permission, and the existing authorities have been put there by God.”​—TEV.

God, though not originating* them (compare Mt 4:8, 9; 1Jo 5:19; Re 13:1, 2), has allowed man’s governmental authorities to come into existence, and they continue to exist by his permission. (*: or in other words, "not having established them") Regarding the subsequent verses...

There being no reason for Christians to set themselves in opposition to an arrangement that God has permitted, they have good reason to be in subjection to the superior authorities. Governmental rulers, though they may be corrupt personally, would not normally punish others for doing good, that is, for adhering to the law of the land. But a person who engages in thievery, murder, or other lawless acts could expect an adverse judgment from the ruling authority. One guilty of deliberate murder, for instance, might be executed for his crime. Since God authorized capital punishment for murderers after the Flood (Ge 9:6), the human authority, by executing the lawbreaker, would be acting as “God’s minister, an avenger to express wrath upon the one practicing what is bad.”​—Ro 13:2-4; Tit 3:1; 1Pe 2:11-17.
