Rome wiped Israel - "Judea" - off the map for millennia. Jesus stood outside that. In the Lectionary for today, we see the confusion between God's sovereignty and political triumph:

When they had gathered together they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
