RE: Hello again my steemian brothers!

YES! Israel was looking for a Messiah that would overthrow the Roman oppression and restore Israel to its former glory. Jesus wanted to do that--and He is coming back to bring His kingdom here. But like you said @paquetedecuba, Jesus wanted to do so much more!

He wanted to defeat the larger enemy--sin, and the greater oppression--from the devil.

"He wanted to defeat the larger enemy--sin, and the greater oppression--from the devil." That's right, and he did. It is also amazing that he will come back to do what Israel was hoping in the past, like you said.
