I’m certain Jesus likewise rebukes American Christians who call for fire to rain down on North Koreans, Syrians, Iranians, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Yemenis, Russians, and all of the other “others” the U.S. bombs, drones and missiles in the name of “freedom.”
When Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead, He created a new “nation” of chosen people – the church – made up of every tribe and every people. God’s chosen people aren’t comprised solely of the present-day country of Israel and its’ political hangers-on.
