Thanks for posting. Never put Vesuvius in a Christian context before.

Just so I understand. God destroyed Pompeii because he was angry at the Romans for sacking Jerusalem...why didn’t he just prevent the Romans from destroying Judea in the first place?
I was always taught this happened because the Jews had turned away from God which means the Romans were acting as tool of God’s vengeance. Why would he punish them for that?
Romans were kind of damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

Surely if God wanted revenge on the Romans, he’d have destroyed Rome, not Pompeii.
Maybe his aim was off a couple hundred miles.
Since the Romans destroyed Jerusalem as agents of God, it seems a little strange for him to revenge himself on them for doing so.

I doubt anyone in Italy saw a connection between the two events. Judea was just an insignificant province on one end of the Roman “pond”.

...The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79
C.E AD...Solomon’s Temple, in 586
B.C.E. BC and the Second Temple, Herod’s Temple, in 70
C.E. AD
There, fixed it for you.

I doubt any of the many non-Christians of that time, saw it as God’s revenge.

I believe that there the volcano that erupted was named Zumo . I blew out the wall that separated Zumo and Vesuvius and that action created one volcano. This is according to the things that I have read and living there in Naples for 5 years.

Did anyone connect the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 C.E. I would expect a BIBLICAL publication to use the correct sufffix for the year
79 A.D. (ANNO DOMINI)
