Much chimping in replies to this as expected. One of the major factions, if not the leader, in the Judaean revolt of the 60’s were Judaean Christians who followed Mosaic law but believed Jesus of Nazareth Christ (messiah) was imminently going to return from paradise, destroy Rome and establish a worldwide Judaean empire (Judaeans were a messianic proselytizing religion quite ASIDE from this for some time). That was the initial meaning of “Christian” to Romans. The New Covenant version only came to prominence later as a response to the Roman destruction of the 1.0 version. An inconvenient history for both modern Christians and Jews.

Judaean religion was a universalist democratizing religion likely self consciously constructed as an alternative to Roman Hellenism. It wasn’t a “nation” in the sense commonly understood.
