Jesus was not interested in a theocracy. All too aware of the abuse of the tenants in God’s garden, he warned his followers to be wary of those who would use them for political gain. Jesus, in one of his last teachings, warned his followers to avoid those who used their ministry as a means to power. He told them to watch out because those seeking political power (rebelling against the state in order to rule themselves) wanted to deceive them. Jesus told his followers that rebels and politicians just wanted power for themselves.
