Description
The rise and fall of Rome was perhaps the most important influence on setting the stage for our modern world. Its true heyday lasted around 400 years and it had many positive influences in terms of technologies, medicine, architecture, art, literature, and government. Its rise to power mostly happened in the intertestamental period in the Bible (the 400 years between the Old and New Testaments). Its role in the Bible was that of the villain, the embodiment of Satan’s armies, fighting against the existing theocracies (the Jewish governments and the burgeoning Christian ideologies). This quick-paced presentation will look at this conquering giant in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.
