Politics and false Messiahs

Jesus, scripture tells us, was not political; world politics is not of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was subjected to an assassination by those who were politically minded, who handed him over to the Romans to be crucified.

Understanding this is essential. 'False Messiahs', have tended to have political/self aggrandissment motives. Now there is one set to become head of the free world.

The devil is a world politician, we are told; with other characteristics; he is a strategist who opposes God. (See the scriptures.)

Death could not hold Jesus, who rose from the dead on the third day.

During the last supper Jesus told his disciples; 'I cannot speak with you longer, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in me. But I do this ( Jesus laid down his life) so that the world will know that I love the Father.' 'Come, let us be going.'
( John 14.)

This to my understanding means that he meant the ruler of this world, Satan, was coming, (Jesus' trial and crucifixion) and he had nothing on him i.e could not successfully accuse him of anything; Satan had no power over him; Satan had no basis for his attack on him, and could not gain anything by attacking him. Some versions say Jesus said 'he has no hold over me'.

Some people argue: surely King David and the other rulers of Israel used politics? Against their adversaries? They went to battle when the Lord gave the go ahead, etc.
So; the scriptures state that the righteous Kings of Israel took the Lord's advice ( usually through the prophets, see the scriptures) when they made a move, that the Lord made righteous moves to defend Israel, and always has.
That is not 'engaging in world politics'. Far from it. By the scriptures, that is defending Israel against world politics. The scriptures state that at first, the Lord never wanted Israel to be a state with a King from among their people, a King other than himself. He simply wanted them to be his people, a people apart under his own sovereignty.
Israel insisted in having Kings over them, so these were granted, and the ones who revered the scriptures and the prophets were defended by God. ( See the scriptures.)
