 | | The power and beauty of Fire awed the early Romans and the great goddess Vesta ruled that Fire. | | | Just as the fire in the home must at all times be burning, the eternal fire of Rome couldn't be allowed to fail, and for this task a special small group of priestesses were chosen to stand guardian over the flames. | | | The fire contained within her temple was a living symbol of the well-being of the State. |

| | THE LAKE OF I believe every word that the Bible says about the lake of fire; I don't believe what Rome says about it, nor what the apostate Churches say about it, nor what tradition says about it; but I certainly believe what the Bible says about it. | | | Those who suppose that hell and the lake of fire represent the eternal doom of the sinners of Adam's race are ignorant and understand nothing whatever of God's great laws, and purposes, and dealings in judgment. | | | The teaching concerning the lake of fire does not appear anywhere in Scripture except in the book of Revelation where it is spoken of in the following passages: Rev. 14:10-11; 19:20; 20:10; 20:13-15 and 21:8. |

| | The great Fire burned hot enough to melt nails in the roofs: the remains have been recovered from the fire's ash layer, which lies buried under Imperial and modern Rome. | | | Rome was rebuilt after the fire and Nero played a large role in the reconstruction; it was then that the building of his famous Domus Aurea palace began. | | | (Suetonius and Dio Cassius repeat the story without qualification; Tacitus describes it as a "rumor" which arose during the fire.) Nero, possibly to avoid blame for the incident, accused the Christian sectâalready "hated for their abominations" (per flagitia invisos) according to Tacitusâfor starting the fire and embarked on the earliest Persecution of Christians in Rome. |

| | Rome was rebuilt in an orderly manner, and the houses were made of fire resistant stone, a better water supply was constructed, fire-fighting equipment had to be easily accessible, and houses had to be completely separate. | | | This profitable result of the Great Fire is not as direct as the result of the construction of a new palace in place of the burned one; Nero was especially pleased with a new license for extravagance. | | | Both the rise and downfall of Sejanus were catastrophic to Rome simply because it added fuel to the raging fire of political tension and divisiveness. |
