Jesus didn't need a .357! When they blindfolded him, abused him and spit on him, slapped him, put a crown of thorns on him he could have turned them into frogs, pillars of salt, pigs, or anything else. But we don't have that power. The commandment to Moses unto whom he gave great power was said, "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy god in vain, " which has a multiple meanings meanings: 1. When speaking his name do it with meaning and reverence; 2.Pray to him but don't call on him to do what you have capacity to do yourself. In this case call on him to help you but do what you can do yourself. An example of that is when Jesus went to the tomb to restore Lazarus to life. He told the men to do all the work and prepare His way. Then he did what none of them could do; He called out "Lazarus! Come forth!"
Now for the case in point. The descendants of Jacob and his twelve sons waxed into a numerous people, and when a new Pharaoh arose he made those descendants slaves. Their numbers were not a hazard to the new Pharaoh, because he had "Sword Control" and "Bow Control." They had to build the pyramids and do whatever the Pharaoh wanted or die, because he also prevented them from leaving.
Hitler figured out how to enslave the German nation. Step 1 Institute Hitler Medicine and put his Nazi supporters as the committees that decided who received Hitler-Care. They were called the Gestapo, and they gave care only to Nazi Party members and to slaves who were producing. The sick, the Jehovah's Witnesses, about four million Catholics and six million Jews, homosexuals and anybody who did anything they did like were either allowed to die or were gassed with cyanide. Step 2 was to require everyone to register their firearms. Step 3 was to confiscate their firearms and they became slaves to the Nazi's just like the Children of Israel in Egypt under Pharaoh's rule. Take note of Sarah Palin's statement that there could be another Holocaust. It took God to release the Children of Israel from Pharaoh's power, and it took 5-years and 350,000 dead soldiers for the USA, England, Canada, Australia, and New Z eland plus others to break Hitler's regime. Awake to the sense of our awful situation.
