Here's Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth with what may be the most sobering piece of news you're going to hear today.

Somebody's going to die for your sin.

You're going to die for your sin or you're going to trust Jesus who died for your sin in your place as a sacrifice on your behalf.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Holiness,

Archaeologists began excavating the ruins of Pompeii in the mid-1700s, and in 1860, there was an Italian archaeologist who discovered soft ashes about 30 feet below the

surface of the site.

And those ashes were actually cavities that had been left by the dead bodies.

Now, the soft tissue of those bodies had, of course, decomposed over the centuries, but some of the bones were still there.

They were in these cavities, and the cavities, because of the soft ash, had retained the form of the bodies.

So the excavation workers filled those cavities with plaster, resulting in what are known today as the preserved bodies of Pompeii.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, go and Google it, and you can see amazing pictures of these plaster bodies in positions of just whatever they were doing when the disaster struck.

Because the city was buried within less than 24 hours. It was a massive destruction.

Thousands of people killed. And these plaster bodies look amazingly lifelike. You can get such a picture of what life was like in that season.

They even know better now how tall people were

and about their dental hygiene.

There's been a lot of research done
