Dust was everywhere. So much so, it contaminated the water, causing cholera to run rampant. It was said if a person came down with cholera at 8am, they'd be dead by noon...

I *NEED* to know what kinda music you're listening to.

I listen to a lot of different music, but re: these tags specifically, the answer is southern gothic and old gunfighter ballads, mostly tbh

Here, have a few random picks:

2.] The Context for This Rebuke

The story, the bombshell, & how it applies to three kinds of people here today. So first of all the story & here's the story:

If you were in Corinth, which was a city in a very tiny little piece of land, about 4 miles in circumference.

It's in the middle of Greece, below Greece was all the southern provinces & above Greece was all the northern provinces.

And there was one little tiny spit of land, only four miles across. Binding the North to the South.

And so Corinth was the ideal place to make money.

………………………………………………………………… Corinth was a commercial center because anybody who wanted to go North or South had to go through Corinth—every interstate highway went through it. …………………………………………………………………

Imagine that, but not only that—if anybody wanted to go on a boat from East to West, they could either go to Corinth & they could transport their cargo just four miles & put it on another boat

     or they could go hundreds of miles to the      South around the bottom…

You see, in other words, Corinth was in a sense a kind of ancient Panama Canal, it was a place where people had to go through for any kind of trade route whether it was by sea or by land.

2.1] Historically Destroyed by Romans

But in 146 B.C. Corinth was destroyed by the Romans because it rebelled against the Roman Empire that was rising at the time for 100 years.

Corinth was leveled, it was laid waste. Nobody lived there for 100 years from 146 B.C. until the middle of the century before CHRIST.

And Julius Caesar knew a good thing when he saw it & he put a little Roman Garrison there, & decided to turn it into a Roman Colony—because anybody who was there, was going to make a lot of money

In the next 200 years, actually in the next 100 years, from the time Julius Caesar restarted it to the time that we have this letter coming to us:

     Corinth exploded from nothing into one of      the biggest cities in the world, but it was a      unique city because first of all:

     [1] it had no aristocracy,      [2] it had no tradition,      [3] it didn't even have a native population

     And as a result this, it was one of the largest      cities, it was incredibly densely populated &      was totally diverse, utterly multi-ethnic

Because the only people who came to Corinth were people that came for one thing—the only thing that bound them together was

     one thing they came to make it! They came      to have success, they came to make money

And as a result, one ancient commentator/historian says that it was the most densely populated because it was all packed with hundreds of thousands of ppl..

     one of the biggest cities in the world at the      time that was stuck into that 4 mile parcel      into the most densely populated cities..

One of the most dog-eat-dog place, success-oriented, sex-obsessed cities in the world—there was no reason to be there except to be successful.

And they had to coin a word in that culture or society, that had been coined in the Roman Empire called to “corinthianize” it was a verb & the verb

     corinthianized means to live in utter      depravity — without any rules at all.
