Jesus is a myth. But the Jewish uprising was violent enough that Rome felt the need to hunt down and kill as many non-Pharisaic Jews as they could.
(Pharisaic Jews supported Rome, and also supported the attempt to wipe out non-Pharisaic Jews).

Jesus lived the perfect example of Peace, Love and Forgiveness.
He could have raised an army and drew a sword and conquered all of the world for Christianity, but that was not Gods plan for his new Covenant with ALL people, that would have removed the free will that is required to truly love God.
It took a thousand years for most of the Christians to figure out that the sword is not the way God wants us to expand our faith, or keel the faith.
This is something that the Muslims are starting to deal with right now.
I predict that at some point the moderates in Islam will prevail and we can live together in Peace.
I just don't know how many will have to die first.
We should start by putting a stop to the killing in Sudan, 400,000 dead and more every day. Thats Four-Hundred, Thousand People KILLED.
Peace!

Totally militant in the spiritual world. Not so in the physical.
While God did not establish the Roman religious myths nor the misguided teachings of Judaism at that hour; He did establish the Roman authority which crucified Him and the people who rejected Him.
In order to submit to death He also had to submit to Roman authority. In no way was Christianity a revolt in the political or physical realm.
In the spiritual realm, true Christianity is a threat to all forms of government and economics. It is also a vehicle for revolt among children of the devil; who rise up for earthly power under the name of Christ.
A cursory understanding of God's Word would not produce your question.

Jesus' revolt was not militant at all. In fact, when Peter drew a sword against the Temple Guards, Jesus healed the man Peter struck, and told Peter to put his sword away.
Jesus' movement was never a revolt against civil authority, much to the populace's dismay. He was trying to lead the people out of false religiousity, and back into a relationship with God. His charges against the religious elite were philosophical in nature, not a direct attack on their "right to rule".
They still hated Him for it.

Jesus wasn't militant. Infact thats what annoyed the zealots, they expected Jesus to come and brandish a sword and take back the land and all that jazz. They missed the whole Prince of Peace aspect apparently.

simply by fact human beings have distinctive recommendations approximately what's interior the "suitable hobbies" of the team. some Jews needed liberation, yet some additionally had to guard the Jewish human beings and not danger annihilation by skill of resisting the Roman profession. In different words, they could artwork WITH the Romans particularly than combat against them, and nonetheless gain an identical ends. some Jewish government theory Jesus replace into attempting to create a literal kingdom instead of in easy terms a non secular one, and feared he could desire to incite the Jews to armed insurrection. this might have little risk of fulfillment, and the Jews might in all probability be demoted from 2d-type voters to slaves. interior the great image, subsequently, the government theory it could be greater desirable to denounce one loopy holy guy instead of danger the lives and livelihood of the entire Jewish human beings.

Jesus didn't inspire revolt against the authorities. He said to "render unto Caesar those things that are caesars and unto God those things that are Gods." His "revolution" if there was one, was against the religious authorities of the day. They had twisted the scriptures distorting the true intent of God. He also came to fulfill the prophecy's of the scripture as the messiah. The ranking authorities in the sanhedrin were fearful of his teachings and ill prepared to recognize him as the Son of God.
He challenged their authority and it was them that had Jesus put to death.

He wasn't militant at all. He was peaceful and wanted all who believed in him to be peaceful. I never heard of a "revolt" led by Jesus. Tell me, what bible did you read that one in?
