Is it possible to create a map of Pompeii, Herodian, and the cities that John sent the seven letters to Revelation, I'm sure some of the cities changed their names by now. | ||||||

thank you, that is a great resource. it seems like all the churches are in Turkey, I was wondering how close the Gospel got to Pompeii before it was destroyed. I guess Pompeii is not mentioned in the Bible. |

Hi, Breaddown... Pompeii is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, as you surmise. Actually, it was a rather unremarkable city, although I am given to understand it was a kind of resort town for some wealthy people from Rome. I guess what really makes it famous to us is its remarkable preservation. People have been digging around in it since the early 18th century. I read Biblical Archaeology Review, from time to time. You might be able to find articles that discuss it there. http://www.bib-arch.org/ I think what you will notice about the church planting efforts of Paul is that he sought out places that were cross-roads to commerce. If the gospel was to be spread, places like Ephesus and Antioch were significant in that respect. Of course, Rome itself certainly was significant as a hub from which people traveled through to all of the known world. In Him, Doc |
