[QUOTE="RKS, post: 1435758, member: 19636"] Should Jesus, who was an Israelite, part of the covenant people at that time, just allow the Romans to continue to conquer Israel and later in 70C.E totally decimate it killing most of the population? Remember the scripture “My Kingdom is no part of this world.” ([URL='https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/john/18/#v43018036']John 18:36[/URL]). If you fight for the nations who are you actually fighting for? Jesus Christ himself spoke of the Devil as “the ruler of the world,” as recorded at [URL='https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1968161/1/0']John 14:30[/URL], and said that this ruler had no hold on him. If Satan currently rules the world, who rules the nations that you would fight and kill for in military service? [B]“Be watchful! Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone.”[/B]—[URL='https://www.jw.org/en/library/bible/study-bible/books/1-peter/5/#v60005008']1 PET. 5:8[/URL].
