Most Christians think it was the zealot rebels against the Roman Conquest that Jesus held promise as King of Israel of ending. Reference to the Kingdom of David and Jesus as the Son of David clarify (to me anyway) that the People yearned to be free of the conquest described in the Books of Nehemiah and Ezra. - A return to pre-Babylonian Israel.
I think we are all more familiar with the Pope wearing the Babylonian Dagon hat.
