In early December, Long took a leave of absence to take care of “some family business,” but returned shortly after to continue his direction at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Georgia. This past Sunday, he invited Rabbi Ralph Messer to partake in his “crowning.” (Yes, we will keep using quotation marks.)

The strange ritual was all caught on tape in a 14-minute clip where Messer explained:

“[Long's] a king. God’s blessed him. He’s a humble man. But in him is kingship. In him is royalty. In him was a land of Israel. In him was a k chromosome…he was brought through the slaves, raised up in a city and God now wants to release a new anointing.”

All the while, Long was paraded around the stage on his “throne” by the “kingsmen.”
