Not all revolutionary activity ends with the fall of Jerusalem. The Sicarii hold out at Masada until 73 AD (the famous mass suicide rather than surrender). Scattered Zealot ideology — the conviction that God will vindicate violent resistance to foreign rule — survives underground in the decades between the two revolts. This messianic-nationalist current feeds directly into the Bar Kokhba revolt of 132–135 AD. Rabbi Akiva’s declaration of Bar Kokhba as the messiah draws on this tradition. After Bar Kokhba’s defeat, active military messianism largely disappears from mainstream Judaism for nearly two millennia.
