What did Jewish people believe at the time of Jesus's birth?
Many Jewish people believed that the Messiah would free them from the rule by Rome. Many accepted that Jesus was the Messiah, but none understood that he would free them from rule by Rome, not by military might or skill, but by freeing them from the fear of death.
What did the Romans blieve in before Jesus?
No. you can not believe in someone you have never heard of. Modern Christians try to see numerous prophecies of Jesus in the Old Testament, but to do so they avoid reading the passages literally or in context.ANSWERYes people believed in Christ before He Came. But you see you have to define the word "Christ". The word Christ is called Messiah in the Old Testament. The Jews were looking and are still looking for the Messiah. If you had ask if people believed in Jesus before He came I would have to say NO as no body knew who the Messiah would be except God. The coming of a Messiah was predicted many times in the Old Testament and many people believed in the Messiah or Christ.
