It's still going to be an independent kingdom but it's pretty much being led by Romanized Jews like Herod. It's upon Herod's death that there's going to be a rebellion and that's the time period when Jesus of Nazareth is born in Bethlehem. But eventually that rebellion is going to be squashed and the Romans are going to take over Judea. And they're basically going to give a lot of the control over religious matters to Jewish court that's called the Sanhedrin. Most Jewish people during that time period were split into two camps. There were people that wanted to fight the Romans, rebels, that wanted to throw them out. And there were people that were seen more as zealots, people that were awaiting what the Old Testament said would be the Messiah.
