Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The Acts of the Apostles
(New Testament)
Acts 28
Pauls Arrival at Rome
11 After three months we put out to sea in a ship that had wintered in the islandit was an Alexandrian ship with the figurehead of the twin gods Castor and Pollux. 12 We put in at Syracuse and stayed there three days. 13 From there we set sail and arrived at Rhegium. The next day the south wind came up, and on the following day we reached Puteoli. 14 There we found some brothers and sisters who invited us to spend a week with them. And so we came to Rome. 15 The brothers and sisters there had heard that we were coming, and they traveled as far as the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns to meet us. At the sight of these people Paul thanked God and was encouraged. 16 When we got to Rome, Paul was allowed to live by himself, with a soldier to guard him.
(End of Scripture Passage)
A trip from the Middle East to Rome was not a Pleasure Cruise like it would be today. My "bucket list" contains a Mediterranean Cruise that traces Paul's Journey, but I would NOT want the delays, Northeasters, shipwrecks, chains, or snakes. Just Saying.

after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.
And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there three days.
And from thence we fetched a compass, |
and came to Rhegium: and after one day the south wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli: Where we found brethren, and were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went toward Rome.
And from thence, when the brethren heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii forum, and The three taverns: whom when Paul saw, he thanked God, and took courage.
And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard: but Paul was suffered to dwell by himself with a soldier that kept him.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
Decades ago, Broadcast Television was very strict about standards of decency. This was not because of any virtue or propriety, although there was an attempt at making us believe that. No, it was all about not offending the SPONSORS. If a sponsor was offended by any of the content, they would simply "pull" their commercial support. Most of the time this was not a problem, as it kept TV reasonably clean and Family-Friendly. There are even cable channels now that show these old programs, and many people enjoy them for either nostalgia or wholesome entertainment to share with the grandchildren. My own sister tunes into "The Waltons" regularly with her grandson, to get him away from Minecraft and Superheroes.
Public Television attempted to attempted to fill the gap with more "adult" entertainment. Even though they had plenty of commercials in the form of Donation Drives, Telethons, Thanking Donors, Announcing Grants from The Government and Corporations, etc, they CLAIMED to be "Commercial Free". All this "Virtue Signaling" took the place of commercials, but somehow people didn't seem to mind, because it meant being able to watch Operas, Plays, Science Programs, and allegedly unbiased News Programs with a sharp left-wing bent. (Even the "P" in "PBS" resembles a face looking leftward...have you noticed that?)
Anyway, most people loved Masterpiece Theater, which came from the UK, and thus was not subject to American Advertisers censoring the content. Sometimes "MT" could get VERY "racy".
One of my favorite MT Series of that time was "I, Claudius", adapted from the book by Robert Graves. It traced the very wicked family of the Roman Emperors from Augustus to Claudius. This was approximately the same period of time encompassed by the New Testament, but the events in the far-flung province of Judea didn't really amount to a hill of beans in the personal lives of the murderous pack of adulterers, predators, torturers, poisoners, pedophiles, and seducers. The story of the four generations of "family" is related by Claudius, who though quite intelligent, stutters and is lame, so is thought to be feeble-minded. It is this misconception that saves his life, because he is not considered a threat. However, Claudius eventually does become Emperor and is mentioned in the book of Acts as expelling Jews from Rome. That's how Paul met Aquila and Priscilla.
Also in the series, we saw how the Emperors embarked on Military Campaigns. When these were not going on, they indulged in building programs to keep the people employed and engaged in some kind of "project".
The ports of Ostia and Putioli near Naples were projects of this sort. Rome was on the Tiber River, but it was not a seaport. Seaports were essential for an Empire, so these projects were very important. The Appian Way, which connected the seaports with Rome, was akin to our own Interstate Highway System that was built during the Eisenhower Administration. One wonders if the Highways of today will be there 2000 years hence, for archaeologists to dig up and argue over. Perhaps, they may posit, these were built by Space Aliens, since 20th Century people were not capable of such feats of engineering!
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
Because of the Lords great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.
Lamentations 3:22-24 (NIV)

Loved I, Claudius, left that other site. Some great quotes in that series.
And we can thank the Romans — not space aliens (yes, I’ve watched those Ancient Alien shows — for building all those roads, which enabled the Gospel to spread in the 1st century.
Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem and for revival in our beloved America.
