The population of Juda is not given in history during the time of Jesus Christ.... the only known census of his lifetime would be the Roman census of 14 AD which indicates 4,937,000 Knowing that during that time women and children would have appeared on a different list than men (head of the household) and slaves would have appeared as property and therefore included as taxed assets. ------- It takes vast assets of men, equipment, and liquidity in order to overthrow the entire world, which is why no one has ever successfully achieved such station. Afterward, one would need to be able to manage multiple millions of people effectively (today it would be billions). which is not as simple as one assumes looking at the surface. ------- Recently (2007 -2016) there was an attempt to globalize the entire world under a single socialist government, which wound up in complete disaster. Now the EU is splitting up, which is an indicator of how difficult it is to manage one part of the worlds already socialist countries (Europe). South America remains in continual turmoil where socialism and communism thrive as the order of the day. Still the socialist Europe, Canada and socialist South American nations cannot agree to get along as a single set of socialist bloc states, as the great and perfect socialist utopia proclaims they shall. ------ In closing I would take the Roman census data from 14 AD with a vast grain of salt, as 5m seems a bit low for and empire which stretched over the entire of the Mediterranean Sea at that time
