Bible Trivia: Super Bowl size vs. Roman Coliseum size

.

Answer: Sunday’s Super Bowl 53 was played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA. 103,219 attended.The Roman Coliseum built in 80 AD held 51,000 people. One of the most impressive structures in the Roman Empire of that day. Convicted criminals and Christians were often thrown to ravenous dogs, lions, and bears as part of the day’s entertainment. While Paul never sees the coliseum, he arrives in Rome (Acts 28) just 12 years before it was build and writes 4 letters (Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, Philemon) from prison. Paul was executed under Nero 67-68 AD. He first and foremost sees himself as a willing prisoner of Christ. So you think your situation is bad? Whatever situation you find yourself in, ask God to help you make the best of it. Paul did!
