+So what?

+Earthly authority and structures are not eternal
+
+Social divisions and hierarchy are a consequence of the Fall
+
+Those who set themselves above others and demand deference are guilty
+of idolatry [wrt of a _human_ creation]
+
+However because _everything_ is changing, there's no particular
+impetus towards planning, putting together a program of _earthly_
+changes.

+   self-lover, lives to the flesh, and follows the lusts of the flesh
+   in all things, and brings forth fruit to the flesh in all
+   things,...
+
+  "The second man is humble and lowly, meek and full of love to all,
+   honors all men according to God, without respect of persons, would
+   have all to come to life, stands in the wisdom of God which is pure
+   and peaceable, is willing to be a fool to the world and serpent's
+   wisdom, content to suffer wrongs, buffetings, persecutions,
+   slanders, reviling, mocking, without seeking revenge, but bears all
+   the venom the serpent can cast upon him with patience and thereby
+   overcomes him and bruises his head, and is made perfect through
+   suffering, and counts it joy, and rejoices in the cross and loss of
+   all things that are visible, but looks at that which is eternal,
+   for he knows that he cannot have both; for to be a friend to the
+   world is the enemy of God."
