A Kingdom is lead by an individual person

The Kingdom of God will not be a democracy. It will, rather, resemble a kingdom, if we are to believe what was instructed and is recited by the Christians. Why does humanity recite countless times daily the word kingdom and not likewise prepare their hearts and minds for the acceptance of a (just) form of kingdom? Likewise, why have not the
Baha'is conditioned themselves to the reality of a kingdom on earth, with a singular voice of authority for the leadership of that kingdom?

A kingdom is always directed by a single person, not by a collective. A kingdom has to have a king, a single person. It is not a convenient collection of men who pretend to be, and act as if they were, that person. A king is but one person at a time, who obtains his office through some sort of hereditary inheritance or appointment. A cursory review of but the most basic of the Baha'i Holy Writ, and by Holy Writ I mean writings penned by the Three Central figures, should determine that the Baha'i Faith will not be akin to any other form of government ever established on earth, including a democracy. Shoghi Effendi clearly explained that.

....

Could it be that mankind is so full of itself that it would not even consider a higher power determining its direction? Even though they pray for a Kingdom on Earth, they act as if they want to specify the terms of that Kingdom. Humanity as a whole may be excused from that error in assumption, but anyone who calls himself a Baha'i should know better.

A Kingdom is lead by an individual person. In the case of the promised Kingdom, that person will direct humans through the offices of the Institution of the Guardianship such that they will comply with the mirrored Will of God.
