Ok, God has told me I am your new King. After all, Kings aren’t chosen by the people ya know? Now, you must love me, give me a very small slice of governmental influence, refer to me as the head of state, and allow me a very comfortable living.
It’s good to be the king. And remember, God himself has placed me here. He told me so.
