The Lupanare: Prostitution and Houses of Pleasure in Ancient Pompeii
Mad emperors, fierce warriors, brutal entertainment, and lascivious lifestyles. These are the familiar images of ancient Rome, but what was it really like? Rumors abounded regarding Roman emperors and their indulgence in the pleasures of the flesh. Tiberius, for instance, is said to have indulged in secret orgies in his pleasure villa on the island of Capri. But until the 16th century discovery of the buried city of ancient Pompeii, the guilty pleasures of the Romans had been mostly hidden from the pages of history.
Ancient Pompeii: Roman Life Frozen in Time
Pompeii is a 6th century BC Roman city frozen in time, preserved by the layers of ash that spewed out from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Although Pompeii was initially rediscovered at the end of the 16th century, it was only properly excavated in the 18th century. This was due to the fact that excavators were startled by the sexually explicit frescoes they were frequently unearthing; something quite shocking to the sensibilities of Medieval citizens of Rome, so they quickly covered them over.

I honestly think that God caused the life of Pompeii to be preserved as a warning to modern man. Look at the destruction of Sodom and Pompeii — those cities are spitting images of so many of our cities in America today, as well as globally. America wasn’t like this in the 1800′s, nor up until the 1950′s, but ever since it’s rapidly becoming a second Sodom. The sins of LGBTQ agenda are now being pushed by the government. This new headline today, “Hospitals Instruct Midwives to Use Terms ‘Chest Feeding’ and ‘Human Milk’ to be ‘Gender Inclusive.’” In some cities mayors have demanded to see the sermons of any preacher who preaches on these matters from a biblical perspective. This is great wickedness in God’s eyes and we will meet the same fate Sodom and Pompeii did. Revelation 18 describes the destruction of Babylon in only one hour — an entire civilization destroyed by fire in only one hour could only mean nuclear destruction. This comment probably won’t survive the moderators, and that too just shows we are similar to Sodom and Pompeii, you don’t dare speak the truth on these matters — it’s practically illegal now. Christ predicted, “As it was in the days of Lot, … even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.” The daily record of passing events testifies to the fulfillment of His words.
