It would seem quite likely that Jesus is very pro-establishment of HIS coming Kingdom!!

When he was on the earth, he was very much anti-Establishment. He was against the pious, proud, hyper-religious leaders of his time, and he let them know it.
In the sense that the current establishment is controlled by Satan, he is still anti-establishment.

Jesus replaced into in basic terms a fable. the unique writings through Paul in no way suggested Jesus as someone. He in basic terms stated Christ as a spirit. as nicely, around that factor there have been already historians and philosophers in the area all a thank you to Greece. Many Greek philosophers have been born centuries BCE and that they've been already nicely documented. It does not make experience in any respect that somebody as significant and magical as Jesus in no way have been given totally accounted for consequently a procedures as his complete existence tale. The center strategies approximately Jesus have been all made up in the 1st 4 centuries. those have been extra to portray fulfillment of standard prophecies around that factor. It replaced into all a lie.

Jesus answers to the established religious authorities,"Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God".See the question of paying taxes to the emperor(Mt22,15-22;Mk12,13-17;Lk20,20-The Christian attitude toward government exhorts us pray for those in authority(1Ti2,1-3),to obey authorities(Ro13,1-7)but to obey God first(Ac5,29).

Well, he did say about taxes, "Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasars and unto God what is God's." So I think he would be pro-establishment.

PRO-ESTABLISHMENT.
Because all governments are established by God's will, good or bad.
Jesus Himself says "Render unto Ceasar what is Ceasars and unto God what is God's." Matthew 22:21
Paul elaborates this clearly.
Romans 13 tells us that all authority comes from God and that we must be in subjection to it. Verse 2 states,
"Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God."
Paul explains that governments are a blessing, they keep the peace. Paul told Titus (3:1) to "remind them (the believers at Crete) to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed." If you desire to live for Christ then you will do your best to live in subjection to His ordained authority.
Paul not only encouraged believers to obey governments, but also to pray for them. I Timothy 2:1-2 states,
"First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, in order that we may lead a tranquil and quite life in all godliness and dignity."
Paul encourages us to live by the laws of the land and further to pray for our leaders. This is especially interesting SINCE PAUL WAS WRITING DURING THE REIGN OF EMPEROR NERO, who was famous for persecuting Christians.
However, patriotism often indicates more than mere obedience and prayer. For many, patriotism implies a deep commitment and love for their country; a "love it or leave it" attitude. Many Christians have associated loyalty to their nation (or nationality) with loyalty to God.
Paul DOES NOT ENCOURAGE this type of patriotism in his writings. In I Peter 2:11, while urging civil obedience, he refers to believers as "ALIENS AND STRANGERS" IN AN UNGODLY WORLD. He understood that the Christian's citizenship is in heaven, not among the countries of the earth. We serve (and are loyal to) the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. No spiritual allegiance is as important as our commitment to God.

Anti. In fact he thought the church was corrupt and said that God was found in your heart, not in a building.
