EP7: The Two Caesarea's: From the Gates of Hades to the Gospel in Rome

In this episode of Grounded, we explore the powerful biblical and historical connections between two locations called Caesarea: Caesarea Philippi and Caesarea Maritima. At Caesarea Philippi, Jesus stands near the ancient backdrop of Mount Hermon, pagan worship, and the “gates of Hades,” and declares that He will build His Church. From there, we follow the story to Caesarea Maritima, where Peter witnesses the Holy Spirit fall on the Gentiles, Cornelius receives the Gospel, and Paul is eventually launched toward Rome. These two places are not just random locations on a map. They represent major turning points in the biblical story: Jesus announcing His victory over the powers of darkness, and the Gospel breaking out into the Gentile world. This episode connects Scripture, history, geography, and biblical theology to show how God’s Kingdom advances — from the gates of Hades to the heart of Rome. #michaelheiser #divinecouncil #biblestudy #nakedbiblepodcast ‪@DRMSH‬ ‪@ExpeditionBible‬ Links    • Caesarea: The City that Changed the World!   - Expedition Bible Full Story    • Why Jesus Was Transfigured on Mt. Hermon —...   - Dr. Heiser Explaining Mount Hermon
