A Historical Parallel
Historically, the Roman Empire aligned with the Jews who were persecuting the followers of Jesus Christ.

The focus of imperial violence turned toward Jerusalem itself.
In that sense, the city that had rejected the messianic movement became the central target of Rome’s military response.
