1 Samuel, 12, 12

"Samuel upbraids the people charging: "Yet, when you saw Nahash, King of the Ammonites, advancing against you, you said to me, 'Not so, but a king must rule us,' even though the Lord your God is your king."

This is a remarkable insight. If one worships, follows and obeys God, ruler over  and writer of natural law, then one does not require civil authorities to rule one. One may live as a lawful anarchist, an indviduating supercitizens in a constitutional republic, with an emphasis upon local rule and self -rule at the canton level, and that is all one needs.

There is no need to be ruled by a king or a tyrant of any sort.
