Best Answer

No. Israel ceased to exist as a nation after its destruction by the Assyrians in 722 BCE. The territory formerly occupied by the Israelites became the Assyrian province of Samaria, although by the time of Jesus it was under Roman control. A new nation of Israel was formed in 1949, covering much of the former lands of Israel, and also the former lands of Judah and some other territory.

No, because it didn't exist at that time. He was born in what at the time waws known as Judaea. His birthplace is traditionally given as Bethlehem, which city is within the boundaries of ancient Israel but not within the boundaries of the modern nation (it's in the so-called "West Bank" region occupied, but not formally claimed, by Israel).

A:Strictly speaking, Israel did not exist at the time of Christ, and had not done so for over seven hundred years. Rome was the occupying power of Samaria, the successor state to Israel, and also in Judea . Galilee, which is also associated with Jesus, was ruled by Herod Antipas, but effectively under Roman control.


For a report on Israel does that mean can write about Jesus?

you do not say whether you are doing a report on modern Israel or ancient Israel, nor whether this is for history class or scripture class. Israel did not really exist at the time of Jesus, since it was destroyed more than 700 years earlier. Depending on how old you are, a history class may want you to talk about Israel before that date, or the new state of Israel in the 20th and 21st centuries, but not about Judah and Galilee. A religious class may make allowance for regarding Judah and Galilee, the territories associated with Jesus, as synonyms of Israel, even though this is not strictly true.


Where does the New Testament say Jesus lived in the Kingdom of Israel?

The New Testament does not, and can not, say that Jesus lived in the Kingdom of Israel, because Israel had ceased to exist in 722 BCE, around 750 years before the gospel stories begin. The gospels tell us that Jesus lived most of his life in Galilee, but was born and died in Judea.
