Assume every terrible and evil thing you have ever heard about the US government is true and that our government is as evil as the government at the time that Paul was here in Acts, defending himself in a Roman court of law.
Funny you should bring that up because today mirrors that time.
At that time, the Jews were expecting their Messiah to be a political figure who'd save them from Godless Romans.
Today, so-called Christians are looking for a political figure to save them from Godless liberals.
It didn't work out for the Jews, and it won't work out for deceived Christians.
