I said Christian, not Israelites in the land of Israel, who weer under a special theocratic mandate to wage holy war within the boundaries of the Promised land only against all idolators. Temporal judgments were executed in Canaan, as YHWH established a holy place for his glory presence to dwell among a people set apart for himself. Because of his oaths sworn to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

That theocratic order served its historical purposes, and was abolished at the coming of Christ, who fulfilled the precepts and holy sanctions of the Law.

Now we have Christians in America trying to equate the USA with ancient Israel with zero justification, and this new cancer called Christian nationalism, which is both an oxymoron and recipe for disaster for Christ's church. Christianity is not and was never the kind of religion meant to unite a nation, to somehow designate society itself as sacred. Jesus specifically warned against this: "My Kingdom is not of this world", "Render unto Caesar what is his, and render unto God what is his", etc.

Contemporary political communities, organized as nation-states, did not emerge out of Jesus' or the Apostle's teaching, nor out of the theocratic civil laws of the Mosaic covenant within Israel, but they come from the Noahic covenant which was propagated to all peoples. It contains a moral law but it is also pluralistic by design, and it operates via the common conscience of mankind, despite religious convictions.
