No. Judea and Galilee were separate territories separated by Samaria. In the time of Jesus, Judea was under direct Roman rule, while Galilee was ruled by King Herod Antipas. However, they were both important for the Jews, with Judea having a majority Jewish population and Galilee also a significant Jewish population.
The Roman Governors (Prefects) of Judea during the lifetime of Jesus Were: Herod Archelaus (4BC to 6 AD) Coponius (6 AD to 9 AD) Marcus Ambivulus (9 AD to 13 AD) Annius Rufus (13 AD to 15 AD) Valerius Gratus (15 Ad to 26 AD)Pontius Pilate (26 AD to 36 AD)
A:Judea has been allowed to be autonomous under King Herod and then his son, Archelaus, so that Rome did not have to concern itself with administrative matters in a minor territory on the very edge of its empire. In 6 CE, the Roman government sacked Archelaus for incompetence and sent him into exile. It appointed Quirinius as governor of Syria, with oversight of Judea. In order that Judea could be taxed on the same basis as the rest of the Roman empire, Quirinius was to undertake a census in Judea as soon as possible after he took over. This was the first census to affect part of Palestine, but did not involve Galilee, as that territory was ruled by another of Herod's sons, Herod Antipas. The census took place in 6 CE, but possibly quite early in 7 CE.
Because of the account in Luke's Gospel, historians have spent considerable effort in establishing the facts of this census, said to have occurred during the reign of King Herod and when Quirinius (or Cyrenius) was governor of Syria.They find that, in spite of Luke 2:1, there never was a census during the reign of Augustus. They have also established that Quirinius only became governor of Syria in 6 CE, ten years after the death of King Herod, and that he appears never to have held a less prominent position in Syria previously. They find that the Jewish historian, Josephus says that the census under Quirinius was indeed the first Roman census taken in Palestine.Scholars say that if there had been a Roman census during the time that Herod was alive, it would not have included Galilee or Judea, since Herod ruled autonomously and was responsible for raising his own taxes. In fact, the census described in the Gospel of Luke is a total anomaly.Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says the best explanation is that, although Luke likes to set his Christian drama in the context of well-known events from antiquity, sometimes he does so inaccurately. There was no census in the time of King Herod. Naturally we can not say what month a non-existent census took place.
A:Looking at the options propsed: An angel - no. Luke's Gospel makes no mention of an angel in this context.Caesar Augustus - according to Luke's Gospel, yes (through delegation to the Syrian governor Quirinius). However, scholars and historians have great difficulty with this, since there was never an empire-wide census and Quirinius would have had no reason to call a census before 6 CE when the first known Roman census in Judea was called. The Roman governor of Syria had no authority over Judea before 6 CE, when the territory came under direct Roman rule.King Herod - no. It would have made more sense for Herod to require a resident of Galilee to go to Judea, since at that time he ruled both territories, but Luke says the census was called by Quirinius on the orders of Augustus. Herod died in April 4 BCE, long before the census of Quirinius.Joseph's mother - no. There is no mention in the Bible of Joseph's mother.
Herod Antipas inherited Galilee and Perea from his father, Herod the Great, and ruled from 4 BCE to 39 CE.
AnswerGalilee was ruled by Herod Antipas.
It was king Herod. Im pretty sure Herod was the King of Palestine at the time of Jesus' birth, but then God sent them to Egypt because Herod wanted Jesus dead. When he died, his 3 sons, - Herod Antipus - Herod Philip - Herod Archelaus Took the thrown. Then Palestine was divided into 3 different areas for the sons to rule: 1. Herod Antipus ruled, Jesus' home region, Galilee and Perea. 2. Herod Philip ruled, north east region called Caesarea Phillippi. 3. Herodl Archelaus ruled, Judea, Samaria and Idumea.

King Herod
King Herod II.
Jesus wasn't born. But people say it was King Herod. -_-; ANSWER Yes Jesus was born. He was born of a virgin in Bethlehem in Israel. King Herod the Great was ruler at that time appointed by Rome.
Augustus Caesar was the ruler of the Roman Empire at the time of the birth of Jesus. Tiberias was emperor throughout the time of his ministry. Herod the Great was the ruler of Judea, Samaria, Galilee, Perea and Idumea. After the death of Herod in 4 BC, his kingdom was divided and his heirs became tetrarchs (or ruler of a quarter). Salome I, (not the Salome who asked for the head of John the Baptist)), was Herod's sister and ruled the cities of Jabneh, Azotas, Phaesalis) Herod Archelaus ruled Judea, Samaria and Idumea until he was dismissed in 6 CE by Augustus Caesar. This region then came under the rule of Quirinius the governor of Syria and prefects were appointed by the emperor to rule the new province named Iudea (basically a Roman spelling for Judea). Quirinius was governor from 6 AD to 12 AD. Coponius ruled from 6 AD to 9 AD. Pontius Pilate ruled from 26 AD to 36 AD. Herod Antipas ruled as tetrarch of Galilee and Perea from 4 BC until he was dismissed by Caligula in 39 AD. Philip the Tetrarch inherited the northeastern portion of his father's kingdom: Gaulanitus and rebuilt Caesaria Philippi (named after himself). The only other significant territory was the Decapolis which was a group of ten cities that were essentially Roman colonies and self-ruling.
The Roman emperor Herod ruled over Palestine. ANSWER 2 : King Herod the Great ruled Palestine. WHO ELSE? A KING BLACK DRAGON!?!?! lol jking it was Herod the Great.
Pontius Pilate, Roman Governor of the province of Judea from AD 26 through 36. Jesus was also sent to Herod Antipas who ruled Galilee and happened to be in Jerusalem at the time. Antipas then sent Jesus back to Pilate who passed the final sentence.
Galilee at that time was ruled by the Roman empire, and they were strict cruel and rutheless showing no mercy.
There were several Herod's that ruled in the region where Jesus lived and died. The first was Herod the Great mentioned in Matthew 2:1-16 and Luke 1:5. He was the one who ordered the death of infant boys aged two and under in an attempt to kill Jesus. After his death, his kingdom was divided into three districts by Rome. Herod Archelaus was over Judea, Herod Antipas ruled over Galilee and Peraea and Philip ruled areas east of the Jordan. In Matthew 2:22 Archelaus was mentioned as ruling over Judea after the death of his father, King Herod. The next Herod, Antipas was the one who killed John the Baptizer (Mark 14:3-12), sought to kill Jesus (Luke 13:31) and ultimately had a hand in the death of Jesus (Acts 4:27) Herod Agrippa I was the grandson of Herod the Great and is mentioned at Acts 12:1. He was the last Herod to rule although his son Herod Agrippa II was a prince mentioned later in Acts 25:13. Herod Phillip was mentioned at Matthew 14:3; Mark 6:1, 18 and Luke 3:19. He was also a son of Herod the Great.
