Not seeing where the confusion is. Jesus plainly said:
(27)But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me.’” (Luke 19:27, ESV)
Is your claim that Jesus did not really say this?
Of course, not.
He said therefore,
"A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return, and having called ten servants of his own, he gave to them ten pounds, and said unto them, 'Do business -- till I come';
and his citizens were hating him, and did send an embassy after him, saying, 'We do not wish this one to reign over us.'
And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what any one had done in business. And the first came near, saying,' Sir, thy pound did gain ten poundsv; and he in response said to him, 'Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.' And the second came, saying, 'Sir, thy pound made five pounds'; and he said also to this one, 'And thou, become thou over five cities.' And another came, saying, 'Sir, lo, thy pound, that I had lying away in a napkin; for I was afraid of thee, because thou art an austere man; thou takest up what thou didst not lay down, and reapest what thou didst not sow.' And he saith to him,
'Out of thy mouth I will judge thee, evil servant: thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I did not lay down, and reaping what I did not sow! Wherefore didst thou not give my money to the bank, and I, having come, with interest might have received it?' And to those standing by he said, 'Take from him the pound, and give to him having the ten pounds' -- (and they said to him, Sir, he hath ten pounds) -- 'for I say to you, that to every one having shall be given, and from him not having, also what he hath shall be taken from him,
but those my enemies, who did not wish me to reign over them, bring hither and slay before me.'
Here's my question:
Did any of this occur according to Jesus' words?
This is what God's will required:
John 18:36-37
Jesus answered,
`My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.' Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?' Jesus answered, `Thou dost say [it];
because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.'
Matthew 6:19-24
Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,
but treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
for where your treasure is, there will be also your heart. The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, thine eye may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened, but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that [is] in thee is darkness -- the darkness, how great! None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other;
ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.
So, we have a parable of a typical earthly king being related to those of earthly concern. Those of earthly concern are expecting a capitalist imperialist to reign over them; they have their treasure in their pockets, and the bloodlust of their worship on their hands.
