Ephesians 2:1-3 ESV
Yep. So this links anarchy to Lucifer.

Christ IS the power
So there is no power other than Christ but also there is a power of the air which is Satan? And the absence of a state is Lucifer? So Lucifer was the creator of the system of judges before the Israelites demanded a king? God tells Samuel they have not rejected you but me. So the Israelites rejected God's system and Him in favor of man made government.
Also, Satan when he was tempting Christ offered him the kingdoms of the world. Jesus didn't correct him or say that isn't within his power. This is where I'm coming from. Of course God is sovereign but He is the source of power. Not the state. Some trust in chariots but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. Right?
Was the Roman empire and Nazi Germany the systems of Lucifer or Christ? Anarchy in the context of this discussion is not chaos but rather the rejection of monopoly human government. Jesus taught us how to interact with this world and its systems but don't kid yourself, they are not his kingdom. I'm also not saying an anarcho-capitalist system is His kingdom or way. The argument is that it would be closer. Just as some would say that democracy is closer than monarchy.
But I'm done. It is clear to me you do not seek to understand where I'm coming from or the arguments of the video but rather to score some points and just want the last word. You can have it.

Lucifer is granted power over the air for a time. God was the creator of the system of Judges via Moses as the template. Israelites had rejected the pattern God set into motion for their country. They did this because they wanted to be like other countries.

He refused the offer. This established His higher authority.

Both of those were Luciferic, mostly. Anarchy is not closer. In fact, Anarchy produces systems like these which appear to have order. Hence, "New World Order."

Where you are coming from is stupid, or misinformed, or both. You have large gaps in what you are suggesting that are basic understandings if one studies the Bible deeply.
