A Theological conundrum

Once again, I will point out that we are talking about earhtly kingdoms. Many Jews thought that Jesus wanted to be their earthly king. Caesar truly was their earthly king.

No!

Not one single Jew (ok, there might have been a few) accepted Caesar as their earthly King. That whole idea is ridiculous, from a historical point of view.

Judea was a region occupied by Romans, against the will of its inhabitants. There was fierce resistance. And the Romans reacted to it in ways more cruel than you and I can imagine. Crucifying rebel leaders was quite a common.
