Absolutely.. It couldn't be more obvious. You may not realize this but to Jesus, his disciples, followers, and the unknown authors of the gospels who witnessed the destruction of Judea, the temple, their way of life, and the slaughter, enslavement, and exile of hundreds of thousands of Jewish men women and children, "the nations" were the enemy. The Gospels were the first century equivalent of the nuclear option, uploaded directly into the belly of the scarlet beast....
Why aren't you sure
ding? And note this
hadit; "I have not come to bring peace but
a sword."
"From his mouth there went
a sharp sword with which
to smite the nations"
Take from my hand
this cup of fiery wine and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it.
When they have drunk it they will vomit and go mad; such is the sword that I am sending among them" (Obviously "
the sword" is a curse under the appearance of a cup of wine)
"He who lives by
the sword shall die by the sword."
Take this cup of wine and drink it, all of you. This is a cup of my blood,
the blood of the covenant
Just art thou, in these thy judgments, thou Holy One who art and wast; for the shed the blood of thy people and of thy prophets and thou hast given them blood to drink"
