Jesus knew He was born to be King.
But His kingdom would not be of this
world,

"Jesus answered, My kingdom
is not of this world: if my kingdom
were of this world, then would my
servants fight, that I should not be
delivered to the Jews: but now is my
kingdom not from hence." John 18:36

Read Deuteronomy 18:14-19 Moses
prophesied Him to be a prophet. So
His ministry started as a prophet, and
then as Saviour to the nation of Irael.

He knew there would be attempts to
make Him king. But he had to reign
over their hearts first before He could
rule over them as a kingdom.
