Following the death of Alexander the great, the Macedonian Empire broke into four (soon to be three) empires. The Seleucid Empire ruled the Jews, and a Jewish leader (name unremembered) came close to pushing them out and reestablishing Israel as as autonomous nation. It is most probable that the Jews of Jesus' time expected their messiah to be another military leader and push the Romans out. Instead Jesus preached love for the Romans and all people.
