It's precisely related; it's sort of the whole point. The New Testament would have changed in tone somewhat, in that Israel would be inside, instead of an outside force for persecution. The Covenant of Moses would have been translated directly and Jesus would have died strictly at Roman hands. Keep in mind that the tension between Rome and Judea was already there, and growing largely because Rome was shifting internally. The Romans would have objected if Jews had changed to their ancient Hebrew ways.
