Old World Christians, did Judas want to force rebellion?

No. I don't think so.. But i believe the religious elites had something like that in mind when they organized the execution of Jesus.. manipulating the Roman authorities into execute Jesus.. I believe they wanted to get rid of Jesus but to pin any blow-back they could face from the Jewish masses by getting the Romans to do their dirty work..

But in the end when Pilate kept on refusing to execute Jesus the religious elites publicly too ownership of the responsibility for the execution and the Pilate immediately stopped resisting their demands and had Jesus executed quickly..

According to the scriptures he wanted a revolution strangely like the Judas maccabees in the apocrypha.

Yes he did.
