:cat_stare: Doc (WBW Edition) :cat_stare_activated: (npub1s3m…qewq) I think it depends which part of either you're reading. The Old Testament psalter and prophecies are very much like that, but the histories are mostly a dry recounting of events.
Likewise in the New Testament, the eschatological parts are by no means pro-Roman, but there is also the teaching to submit and bide your time while Satan, the Prince of the Earth, weaves his own noose. The lived example of this can be seen in the lives of the Saints. For example, Maximus the Confessor suffered and was martyred by the Byzantine Empire for opposing the monothelite heretics, but it didn't last. After his death, God quickly won out. The problem was squashed and banished to tiny schismatic groups on the outer edges of the world.
