The Churches in Judea
Judea is a loosely defined area whose borders and rulers change frequently
4 B.C,Herod Antipas is made tetrarch of Galilee and Perea. He rules from 4 B.C. to 39 A.D. It was this Herod who, as the New Testament records, not only arrested and beheaded John the Baptist but also played a part in the crucifixion of Jesus.
39 A.D.After Herod Antipas' death in Gaul Herod Agrippa I (grandson of Herod the Great) is made ruler over Galilee and Perea as Roman tetrarch. 44 A.D. Herod Agrippa I beheads the apostle James and has Peter arrested. Soon after God sends the angel of the Lord to kill him. He dies and is eaten by worms (Acts 12). 48 A.D. Herod of Chalcis, the grandson of Herod the Great and brother of Herod Agrippa I, dies. He was tetrarch of Chalcis (a kingdom north of Judea) for an unknown period of time. Herod Agrippa II is made king of Chalcis and rules until 53 A.D. He is the last king in the Herodian dynasty of rule. 65 A.D.Work on Jerusalem's second temple (also known as Herod's temple) is finally completed. 70 A.D. Roman legions, under the command of military commander Titus (later Emperor Titus), destroy Jerusalem and set fire to its temple.
