    James 1's speech the supreme example of an earthly ruler attempting to supplant God's authority on earth - oddly his family was removed from power until they had made themselves a little more humble within a few years. When Nebuchadnezzar indulged himself similarly in Biblical times, he lost his mind and reason for some time and was not restored to power until he acknowledged a greater power, in the God of Daniel, than himself. Earthly rulers NEVER learn even though the lessons are plain and written for all to read.

    There is Biblical provision for how one acts in the face of a ruler who so obviously tries to supplant the authority of God with his own and sets himself in place of God. Obedience to God is always the believer's highest priority, even though failure of such obedience is more common than success because the standard is so tough.
