I think so. It does not necessarily have to be violent revolution. But I definitely believe revolution is needed at times.
I recall once a long time ago hearing something to the effect that Thomas Jefferson thought it would be a good idea if the people revolted ever so often. Can't recall exact quote.
I'll look for it and edit.
EDIT: "The spirit of resistance to the government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be kept always alive." Thomas Jefferson and yes I know he was not a "Christian"

Not from the Christians, lol. Its hard to imagine a revolution in this country. The closest thing I can remember since the Revolutionary and Civil Wars...is the anti-war movement of the 60's and 70's. But...well, after Kent State, we saw what might happen in a true revolution.

Constant fear often makes us corrupt, not honest. Further, revolution is such a improbability that any elected official fearing it might as well be committed. Our elected officials have been elected for a reason: people are fools. Fools don't start revolutions.

Ideally they should but they're not because they know that most of the population consists of sin loving people just like them.

No. Love endures forever. We all should love one another and help out when we can. : )
