Yes. Roman Emperors all considered themselves deities. Likewise with Kings who had "divine right to rule". Stalin and Mao were atheists, just a convoluted way of saying they were Gods. Yes, these rulers "ate the sacrifice". Think of Nero burning down half the city so he could get a good break on the purchase of the land.

The rule is that human govt requires a human sacrifice from the subjects, Jesus is the exception to the rule, in His case the human sacrifice was from the Lord. In every other govt the rulers eat the human sacrifice, in the heavenly kingdom the subjects eat the sacrifice from the Lord.
