Rome was in control of Israel at the time of Christ, the last of the four world empires that frayed and finally destroyed Israel and leveled most of Jerusalem, the City of the great King to come, Jesus Christ. He will reign over the then destroyed city of Rome and all nations of the earth will be under His Kingship, He will rule with an iron hand, for He is God who came in the flesh and gave Himself a sin sacrifice for all who believe Him for salvation.
He came into the world, and the world was made by Him, but the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, but His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of GOD the Father, who destroys all His enemies unto the return of Christ to bring in His KIngdom on the earth for 1000 years, as the Scriptures teach those who believe on Christ as Lord. Israel will be the last world Kingdom on the earth and America may have been destroyed or relegated to a lesser kingdom by the pagans who destroy nations under their leader, Satan. Yet God will rule in the person of Jesus Christ in Zion, the land of God,’s choosing. Search the Scriptures, saith the Lord Jesus, for in them you think you have life they testify of me. Sola Scriptura. And think on the policies of this ill begotten pope in Rome, the city on seven hills.

[Rome was in control of Israel at the time of Christ]
Absolutely correct. That’s why Herod and Pontius Pilate became fast friends.
Acts 4:27-28 King James Version (KJV)
27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
Luke 23:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.
