We Are at War

The jews of his day anticipated a messiah that would go to war with and be victorious over the romans. But jesus doesn't see his fight as against flesh and blood, but as against ers, principalities, demons, authorities and the devil who uses humans and systems like the romans to do hainous things. Jesus is the seat of the woman that gets talked about in genesis three, 15 particularly he's the snake crusher. He wants the smoke, but it's going to cost him, but he thought it was worth it. Turn to your neighbour and say, neighbor, we are at war. You could thank christian for that war.
