Whom to love and how to love
Sell your cloak to buy a SWORD Luke 22:36
Israel at Jesus' time was much infested by robbers: while our Lord was with His disciples, they were perfectly safe, being shielded by His divine power. Shortly they must go into every part of the land, and will need weapons to defend themselves against wild beasts and wicked men, who, if they found them totally defenceless, would not hesitate to make them their prey, or take away their life. However these swords were neither to be considered as offensive weapons, nor instruments to propagate the truth. The Christian Faith is against both.

“For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and chastises every son whom He receives.” Hebrews 12:6 The sons of our Holy Father are not allowed to do whatever evils their flesh desires.
"Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me." Matthew 25:31-46
Who are the least of Christ's brothers? They are the Jews, they are Israel... Israel is the least of Christ's brothers because they were given the Gospel of Christ first, but they come to Him last. "But many who are first will be last, and the last first." Matthew 19:30, cf. Matthew 20:16, Mark 10:31, Luke 13:30. "to the Jew first and also to the Greek." Romans 1:16
Yeshua Jesus walks with the Jews in fire...
“Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.” He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.” (Daniel 3:24-25)
Christians are NOT to let evildoers harm themselves or their loved ones!
It's Israel's Godly duty to defend her people against Hamas rockets!
"And He will become a sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem." Isaiah 8:14, cf. Roman 9:33, 1 Peter 2:8
"And the one who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; and when it falls on anyone, it will crush him.” Matthew 21:44
"Therefore I tell you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you [the Jews who rejected the Messiah] and given to a people producing its fruits [the Jews who followed Jesus Christ]." Matthew 21:43
“You are those who have stayed with me in my trials, and I assign to you, as my Father assigned to me, a kingdom, that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel." Luke 22:28-30
"but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide" John 15:16
“The kingdom of heaven (Christ's 1000-year kingdom) may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son,” Matthew 22:2
“for the marriage of the Lamb has come... Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb (Christ's 1000-year kingdom).” Revelation 19:7-9
“the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Revelation 21:2 (After the marriage supper, which is Christ's 1000-year kingdom, the newlyweds move into their new home – the new heaven and new earth.)
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes." Malachi 4:5
Then you see 2 Witnesses of the LORD with the power of Elijah and Moses preaching for 1,260 days before the Day of the LORD in Revelation 11.... Elijah and Moses were the same 2 Witnesses of Yeshua Jesus Christ in Matthew 17:1-8, Mark 9:2-7and Luke 9:28-36 in the Transfiguration.
John the Baptist was the Elijah in Yeshua Jesus' 1st Advent; Elijah himself will come with Moses in person prior to Yeshua Jesus' 2nd Advent.
Jesus and His disciples paid tax to Rome – Babylon the Great
The two witnesses– Moses and Elijah
John 15:7
Jesus and His disciples paid tax to Rome – Babylon the Great
Matthew 17:24-27 When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax went up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” And when he said, “From others,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel.[g] Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.” When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax went up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon?

However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for me and for yourself.”
Manasseh's Repentance (2 Chronicles 33:10-13)
10 The Lord spoke to Manasseh and to his people, but they paid no attention. 11 Therefore the Lord brought upon them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria, who captured Manasseh with hooks and bound him with chains of bronze and brought him to Babylon. 12 And when he was in distress, he entreated the favor of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. 13 He prayed to him, and God was moved by his entreaty and heard his plea and brought him again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.
These two were also the two witnesses of the Son of God in the Transfiguration in Matthew 17. The miracles performed by the two witnesses during the 3.5 years of Great Tribulation were the same or similar miracles performed by Moses and Elijah when they were on this earth. These two have the heart of Israel. “These are the two anointed ones (sons of new oil) who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.” Zechariah 4:14
Also, the mother of the sons of Zebedee asked Jesus for her two sons to be in the two witnesses' positions, "one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom," (Matthew 20:20-23). The positions of the two witnesses were appointed before the foundation of the world.
