Yes they carried out God's will, it had to happen and would've happened regardless, but by Jesus own brethren choosing him over Barabbas, they sealed their own fate, I've read somewhere maybe the Bible that once they did that, their descendants and their descendants, descendants would suffer until the day came where they would accept Jesus as their Messiah.
The Scriptural Lesson About "leaders" (religious or political)...
Was about: to the public at large...
"DO as they SAY", "NOT as they DO".
What they "DO"...ie Elevate themsleves, Above "what they SAY"... otherwise, revealing; "THEY" have "EXCLUDED" themselves, "FROM having to DO, what they SAY "others must do".
The point being...a "leader", (religious or political)....IS NOT "above" the people they Are "supposed to be Serving".
The point being...a "leader", (religious or political)...is themselves "supposed to be A SERVANT" to "their" MASTER (the Lord God).
Not elevating themsleves...AS "THE" master.
So there IS a CAVEAT...
Do as they SAY.....(IF,) what they SAY, IS according to what the MASTER (Lord God) says....and WHY men are told to VERIFY in Scripture, WHAT they are told (by a religious or political "leader"), IS According TO the Lord God.
"IF" WHAT they SAY, is NOT according TO the MASTER (Lord God)....
* DO what the MASTER says, Rather than men.
Jesus, came to DIVIDE people.
Luke 12:51
John 7:43
All day long we hear and see, people agreeing, defending, doing what MEN SAY TO DO...(religiously and politically)....
That IS: above and beyond, (outside of verifiable authority,) revealed, IN Scripture and IN the US Constitution.
....AND men WHO, "do" rather what the "Master says"....being Targeted with threats, and negative acts against them.
Glory to God,
