From a historical perspective, it's worth noting that Jesus was born under Augustus' rule. And most historical views are Jesus was born in someplace between 4 BCE and 6 BCE. Now Augustus was followed by Tiberius, and Tiberius here was both Augustus' stepson, and he married Augustus' daughter. So he was a stepson and son-in-law. And he also proved to be a relatively capable emperor. You can see Augustus had a fairly long rule. He took power in his 30s, and his power ended in his 70s.
