Tirasias, whatever was written by crazy mind of John of Patmos, has no whatsoever any meaning to me, nor to the persons of Jewish faith. Again, you even did not bothered to read my post, yet I hear bible thumping in the background as you would be at the field service. But I am long out from KH to get annoyed by it. Lets analyze your diatribe against my post:
I wrote that Jews as people do not whatsoever bear responsiblity for killing of Jesus. This is also taught at university level in Europe and USA. You trying to say that Jews are responsbile; and population of Judea got punished 37 years later by it? Only fascist, nazist, or anti-semitic individuals woud say that. Jesus was executed by Roman government. Jesus was not messiah for the Jews, because he did not fullfill anything what Jews would expect from real Messiah. No person of Jewish faith could ever reconcile these two. Several millions of 1st century Jews scattered accross the world, were not even aware of existence of Jesus and his follower. How Jews that lived in Alexandria, Rome, or Persia bear responsibility for event in 33 A.D.? Even Roman government in 70 A.D. did not singled out entire Jewish faith for a revolt in one of its distant province.
In 1st century A.D., the city of Jerusalem was a provincial seat of backward corner of the vast prosperous Roman Empire. There is no whatsoever comparision of Rome and dozens other large cities of the Antiquity to Jerusalem. Alexandria was the largest Jewish city. Ephesus, Athens, Carthage, Antioch were much larger, wealthier, and far more important for Roman administration than any city in Judea. This was also reason why majority of Jews lived outside of it for better social and economic opportunities. Ordo Urbium Nobilium, a Roman poem written about the most important cities of the Roman Empire had mentions 20 cities, but it does not mention Jerusalem: Rome, Constantinople, Carthage, Antioch, Alexandria, Trier, Milano, Capua, Aquileia, Arles, Seville, Cordoba, Tarragona, Braga, Athens, Catania, Syracuse, Toulouse, Narbonne, Bordeaux. Nowhere is any word on Jerusalem. Even Persia had big cities like Seleuceia. Jerusalem was not very wealthy, did not have an economy to support it, nor it was significant center of the Roman world. In Roman times, you can purchase luxurious items anywhere within this empire, even in distant provinces like Britian and Germania Superior.
The issue of Jerusalem in Revelation was not settled in past 250 years. Scholar that I mentioned here and one the best on this topic. E. Pagels identifies it with the imperial city of Rome. If you disagree with her and other scholars, than you should teach it instead of her at the Princeton University.
