Now, other imperial acts that continue to have a significant effect on this very early Christian church. We talked about the destroying of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, and that's under the reign of Vespasian. And this, of course, is a very significant event for the Jewish people, but it also has a significant effect on Christianity, because remember, Christianity was really centered at Jerusalem. It was a sect of Christianity, or it starts as a sect of Christianity, but now, with the destruction of the temple, the Jews were dispersed from Jerusalem, and so were many of these early Christians. And so the centers of Christianity became throughout the empire, places like Antioch. And you continue to have a discomfort with Christians, especially as they became more and more in number, and they started to have more and more power. And here you have these people who refused to obey the Roman gods, to do their rituals, to worship the Roman gods.
