The Roman Empire had a tremendous effect on the narrative of the Four Gospels. Examples of this statement consist of the “Massacre of the Innocents” ordered by Herod the Great, the political actions of Pontius Pilate, the universal census ordered by Caesar Augustus, and Jesus’ infraction against Caesar. The political, legal, and economic systems put into place by the Romans of the newly established Roman Empire indeed drove the narrative of the Four Gospels. The political guidance shown in the scriptures by the Roman Empire in relation to the Four Gospels, for all intent and purposes facilitated the fulfillment of all of the Old Testament prophecies concerning the life and times of the Messiah.
