Paul Axton preaches: Do we respond to empire with the resurrection faith of the nonviolent martyrs of Daniel and Maccabees or with the violence of the Mattathias and his friends in the Maccabean revolt. Jesus identity with the Son of Man of Daniel and his invoking the nonviolent response to the coming desolation and destruction portrayed in Maccabees provides the resolution to how to respond to evil empires.
