I often wonder about how Messiah will rule the world. He was a servant then but will be a warrior King when He rules. Ruling with a rod of iron means what? Know any good online studies or print books about it? John the Baptist had a totally different concept of the Messiah (he had to ask Jesus if He really was the Messiah) so I’ve done a little bit of research on the Old Testament view of Messiah from the orthodox Jewish POV.
Please understand that I am in no way being facetious or unkind when I say it doesn’t matter HOW the Messiah will rule if you’re not around to enjoy it. Unless a man is born again he cannot see The Kingdom of God.
I’m sure there are many good books and online studies on the Millenial reign of the Lord Jesus. None come to mind at the moment, however. The truth is most details, other than the fact that He WILL reign, most stuff out there is speculation. So I don’t indulge. Here at your service. DS

No, he didn’t.
He declared him to be the Lamb of Yehova who would take away the sins of the world.
Yochannon was the true High Priest of his time, and knew that Yeshua had come to die, not to reign.
It was the Pharisees that were without a clue.
