King, Priest, Banker?
The Book of Mormon prophet stepped down as Chief Judge. Government protects religion and religion upholds government, or in other words, people should use the temple and temple worthiness as a basis to judge political leaders (by their fruits).
There are jurisdictional differences. The government has jurisdiction over a person who causes harm to others. Religion has jurisdiction over a person who causes harm to themselves (rehab).
“That Jesus will be a resident on the earth a thousand [years] with the Saints is not the case, but will reign over the Saints and come down and instruct, as he did the five hundred brethren [see 1 Corinthians 15:6], and those of the first resurrection will also reign with him over the Saints.”23 -TOTPC, Joseph Smith
The big missing piece of perfect government is an equitable economic/banking/credit system.
