Hardly nonsensical when in the ministry period your land was under Roman occupation and the Sanhedrin regarded you as heretics and terrorists. How do you think 'Judas Iscariot' got his name? The Romans named 'Judah' 'sicarius' after the curved knife favoured by assassins in Judea. ( the words scythe and sickle have the same root ). The NT only ever referred to the Romans as 'kittim' and the early translators got his name wrong.
