Impact Of Romans On Egyptism

The Romans ruled and controlled the region that included Jerusalem, the Romans had a massive impact on the Jews. The Romans occupied Jewish territories that were divided by the religious and political views. Some priests had focused on protecting the temple even though the Romans were needed to make such happen. A couple of groups moved to the desert caves where they and their faith could be left alone. Yet as time passed new things were practiced, baptism was one of them. This acted as a sign of religious cleansing. A very important group known as the Pharisees were educated people who recognized, or respected, the Torah and the Jewish religious leader, known as the rabbis. These people also believed in the resurrection. Yet, many people who
were poor found respect of the beliefs of the Pharisees yet they found it difficult to keep with all the rules they stated to them to follow. This lead to greater later unrest.

But political works also played as a division in Jerusalem, this is due to the works done by the Romans. The Jews found them as unbelievers that look to keep hold their land, others believed they should stand against the Romans and a couple of Jews found that a Messiah would be sent by God to handle the Romans and push them out. Yet, some Jews accepted the Roman rule that came among them, Herod was a non-Jew and is an example of who the Romans made a king and the some Jews found acceptance in.

Religious differences and political differences in the Jews and Romans, this impacted the Jewish people because it added new beliefs and made brought to the table new groups expressing these beliefs. It also caused disliking from the Jews to the Romans because they had taken their land yet some found approval of Roman rule and accepted it.
