No, Jesus specifically rejected the calls to make Him King.
He warned His disciples he would be killed. How can a dead man be a politician? His kingdom was/is not of this world.
Jesus' primary objective (and the Father's as well) was dealing with sin. His death accomplished this.
He was careful not to allow them to declare him king, because the tribes were not yet united and it would have resulted in his immediate execution; Romans were not eager to have any break-away parts of the kingdom mounting revolution. His warnings to them that he would be killed were undoubtedly that: warnings. “Shut up, you are going to get me killed.” All this tells me is that he knew darn well that uniting factions to mount a revolution is dangerous business.
