Why did Jews threaten Romans if they didn't crucify Jesus?
.Catholic AnswerOur Blessed Lord claimed to be a King. The Jews were a subject nation, under a Roman governer, a king would look like they were threatening rebellion to regain their indepence.
Did the Zealots convince many to rebel against the Christians?
The Zealots were not interested in rebellion against Christians. The Zealots were those Jews of the first and early second centuries who advocated rebellion against Impereial Rome in order to establish an independent Jewish country. Twice, once in the years 68-72 and again in 132-136, the Roman provence of Judea rose in revolt and drove Rome out of Jerusalem. Each time, all the Jews of Roman Judea were, whether they wanted to or not, forced to either join the rebellion or go into hiding. Each time, it took Rome a few years to mobilize a response to crush the rebellion. The responses they mobilized were massive, pulling in legions from as far away as Germany. The second revolt led Rome to rename Judea as Palistinia, ban Jews from ever living in Jerusalem (which they also renamed), and ban the teaching of Judaism.
How did the Jews of Judea feel about Roman rule at the time of Jesus's birth?
How would you feel if there was an occupying imperial army in your country? There were collaborators who tried to live with the occupiers (the Saducees). There were separatists who tried to live despite the occupiers (the Pharasees) and there were rebels who wanted to fight (the Zealots). To keep the Zealots down, the Roman forces crucified thousands; that was the usual fate of anyone thought by the Roman forces to be advocating rebellion. In the year 66, the Zealots revolted, and it took Rome 7 years to quash the rebellion. In the process, they destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem. Between 115 and 117, there was another revolt, and a final revolt in between 132 and 136. The Roman response to the final revolt was to destroy Jerusalem and sell a big fraction of the surviving Jews into slavery. To quote Monty Pythons's Life of Bryan, "the Jews are revolting," was nearly the normal state of affairs.
How did the Romans treat Jesus?
The Romans treated Jesus very cruely and unfairly. They crucified him. They were told (by the Jews) that he was a leader of an anti-Roman rebellion. He was called "The King of Jews" - and in the Roman empire, kings were not allowed.
Why did the claim that Jesus was a Jewish Messiah threaten the Romans?
The greatest crime in the Roman lexicon was that of rebellion. They viewed messianic preachings as a destabilizing phenomenon. They governed a wide spread of lands and conquered colonies and wanted quiet. The Romans' fear of a Messianic Candidate provoking rebellion in Judea was later proved legitimate when Bar Kochba, a Messianic Candidate who lived a century after Jesus, led a number of Jews in open rebellion against the Roman Empire in 132 C.E.
How did the Jews oppose Caesar?
They didn't. Caesar, like most Roman rulers, was fairly apathetic regarding the Jews as a specific group. They were tolerated like any other religion or ethnicity, provided they didn't cause trouble (basically, this meant incite rebellion or do weird things in public).
What happened as a result of tensions between the roman the Jews?
The Jews revolted
Why did the Jews hate the Roman soilders?
The Jews hated the Romans in general, not just the Roman soldiers Animosity against the Roman escalated in the Jewish rebellion which historians call the First Roman-Jewish War (66-73 BC). Roman mishandling of the situation greatly increased Jewish hatred. There was tension between the Jews and the Greeks in Judea. The Greeks provoked the Jews by sacrificing birds in front of a synagogue and the Roman soldiers did not intervene. The old tensions between Jews and Greeks escalated. One of the priests of the Temple in Jerusalem stopped praying and performing sacrifices for the Roman emperor in protest. There were also protests over Roman taxation. There were random attacks on Roman citizens and Jews who collaborated with the Romans in Jerusalem. Things were made much worse by the Roman governor, Gessius Florus, who ordered his troops to breach the temple and seize seventeen talents of gold from its treasury, claiming that it was money due to the emperor. Unrest broke out in Jerusalem. Florus reacted by sending soldiers to raid the city and arrest some city leaders who were later whipped and crucifies. This was bad enough, but it was made even worse by the fact that some of these men had been made Roman citizens and Roman law did not allow the crucifixion of Roman citizens. Two Jewish nationalistic factions, the Zealots and the Sicarii, armed themselves and overrun the Roman military garrison in Jerusalem. Their militias then attacked Roman citizens of Judea and pro-Roman officials and removed Roman symbols around the country. The Romans sent armies to Judea. This was the beginning of the \first Roman-Jewish War.
Why did the Jews migrate?
Same reason as anyone else did, to either escape something bad, or go to something good.
