SIMON BAR KOCHBA & THE FINAL JEWISH REVOLT AGAINST ROME )

While most Westerners and Bible students think of the Great Jewish revolt as concluding in the year 70 AD, this was not as it was. Although the Temple was completely destroyed, and according to Josephus, more than one million Jews were killed and 500,000 taken into captivity, their confidence of prevailing continued.

Messada,  which fell in 73 AD was an incidental to events. The fits and starts of  the Jewish revolt continued right up until 135 AD, when the Romans, totally fed up with jewish irascibility, banished all Judeans from Palestine. This video gives the details.

It is rather long at 1 hour and 24 minutes, but as the Chinese say, history is a long business. It remains true, that without history we are forever children.
