There is a reason followers of The Way used to pledge their life to king Yeshua and unconditionally refused to bow to king Caesar.

So far from their politically dissident heritage, the vast majority of 'believers' today instead willfully and joyfully collaborate with and serve ha-satan's kings and its empires.

Instead of avowing their vocation – requiring life-altering duties and responsibilities – as a foreign ambassador of the one, true kingdom, they pledge their lives to the false ones they live under.

Maybe one day in the future they will re-learn what their ancestors knew deeply:

"sin" = treason

"faith" = allegiance

...and actually take Revelation 17-18 seriously.
