If you want to see one man elevating himself above the other sheep, with an adoring mass encouraging this process, look at Bishop Eddie Long in Atlanta. Long is a pastor of a "megachurch", who hosted Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush in 2006 at the funeral of Coretta Scott King. Eddie Long held a lot of power, and by 2012 he was getting desperate as he felt the mantle slipping from his grasp. So he staged a pageant to impress the flock.

At one point the hired "rabbi" declares "this is God's government". They are trying to prop up Eddie Long by claiming his preeminent place in God's chain of command.
But as I have said, Jesus didn't teach that. Now, a transparently ridiculous farce staged to impress the gullible flock might seem out of place on the "Local Church Discussions" forum, but really I think that the system is the same. It is people trying to elevate themselves above the flock, with a great crowd gathering, thinking to themselves, "This is God's government". Folks, it is not; not the one Jesus told us about.
You might get several Presidents of the U.S. to come to your church, but it is not God's government.
