The Hillel Tradition is at its greatest odds with the others primarily because it assumes that the [[Messiah]] was ''not'' [[Jesus Christ]] at all, but a rebel leader named [[Simon bar Hochva]], who revolted against [[Rome]] in 135 AD, prompting [[Emperor]] [[Hadrian]] to scatter the Jews to the farthest reaches of the Roman Empire (the [[Diaspora]]) and rename the region from ''Judea'' to ''Palaestina'', which is the nearest equivalent to "Philistia" in [[Latin]].

The primary source for the Hillel Tradition is the ''Seder Olam'', a second century Targum of Rabbinic Judaism.
