Through out the Old Testament God promised a coming Messiah, not only to Israel but to the whole of mankind. Finally when the Messiah (Jesus Christ) came into the world, born as a human being to Mary at Bethlehem, Israel did not believe that He was in fact the Messiah and had Him crucified on that cross out side the walls of Jerusalem.

In Jeremiah 31:31-34, God tells about the "New Covenant" He is going to give to Israel, but that covenant has not been given as of yet to Israel.

When Israel disowned Jesus Christ as their Messiah, God set them aside and instead turned to the Gentile. Once a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Messiah (Savior) they are in all intents and purposes given that "New Covenant". We at this time are still in the "times of the Gentiles", but when Jesus returns at the Second Coming, the "times of the Gentiles" will end and God will again bring Israel into prominence and they, the remnant, will receive the "New Covenant" through belief in Jesus Christ.

Although God intended all of mankind to come into this "New Covenant" through Israel, He had to turn to the rest of mankind, by setting Israel aside, and give His redemption to the Gentiles. Christianity (Christ) is the continuation of what Israel was supposed to follow but didn't, but they will at the Second Coming of Christ when they will turn to Him as Savior.

Do you think Christianity would have developed in the same way if it had arisen in an area outside the roman empire?

It is unlikely that Christianity would have developed in the same way if it had arisen in an area outside the Roman Empire. Originally, the Christians were Jews who followed the Jewish Law and preached the teaching of Jesus to other Jews. The foundations of Christian theology were then laid by Paul of Tarsus, who said that salvation did not require following the Jewish laws. It required faith in Jesus as the saviour and this could free people form sin. Therefore, Paul made Christianity accessible to the gentiles (non-Jews) of the Roman Empire. The Christian churches and theology were developed by theologians and priest in various areas of the empire and was a Roman development. Had Christianity arisen outside the Roman Empire, it would have been developed by different people and would have been different.
