Bible Note: Doc Perhaps you don't appreciate the use of the word respect that I used. In many aspects the Romans did look down their noses as the Jews but they also viewed their stiff neckedness as something to be respected from a warrior stand point. The Jews weren't liked nor appreciated, but their stiffneckedness was respected. In every other nation when Rome conquered they found the people would eventually submit and more or less get with the program and yes I know about the northern tribes, but hear me out. The Jews even though easily beaten would not comply with Rome. When Rome brought in standards with images the Jews went into rebellion. When the Rome brought in statues again the Jews rebelled. Jews would refuse Roman money and eventually Temple coins were allowed by Rome. In other nations things like this were easily accepted and Rome viewed those people as vanquished. However the Jews were different and finally in 70 AD in more or less a rage Rome decided to wipe the Jews out. The ones they didn't crucify, they literally shipped all over the Empire. No other nation was so throughly devastated by Rome. Incidentally I have read and studied Josephus extensively and know his writings adequately. Your point is also noted you did say in your opinion. Sorry to have jumped on you. I'm just very sensitive to the trend to mold history to fit agenda. EdB |
