Acts 11 talks about how word Christian brought up in the churches of Antioch.
Acts 12 talks about how Peter got prisoned. When King Herold Aggrippa killed off couple of diciples, he realized that Jews liked it. Therefore, he decided to persecute Peter and he went the army to capture Peter. So soldiers capture Peter and put him into the prison. Day before the persecution, angel comes to frees Peter. Then Peter and the diciples spread to preach the word of God. Angel took away King Herold's life because he didn't praise God's name. As I was reading through the scripture, I realized that I recognized couple things. I recognized the geographic location of city called Antioch and I realized why there was such thing as King when Israel was under the Romans. I recognized these things because I'm currently learning about Roman history. I am currently learning about how Romans expanded their power and what kinds of control they enforced in conquered provinces. Knowing these facts allowed me to understand the bible a little better. I think it is important for us to try to study for the background knowledge for this era.
