Bema Seat and Acrocorinth; Corinth, Greece; Place where Apostle Paul was Accused?
BEMA. A bema is a raised area for a public official and was used for speeches and for hearing legal cases and rendering judgements. Most literally, bema means "step," and can even be used as a unit of measure (cf. Acts 7:5, set "foot" on it; the Hebrew word it translates has the same literal meaning, as in the Septuagent, or ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament).
Jesus, for example, was brought before Pilate's bema.
Luke records an incident that took place between some local Jewish people and the Apostle Paul when he was in Corinth "a year and six months" (Acts 18:11). Acts 18:12-17:
"But while Gallio was prconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat [bema], saying, 'This man persuades men to worhip God contrary to the law.' But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, 'If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you; but it there are questions about words and names and your own law, look after it yourselves; I am unwillingto be a judge of these matters.' And he drove them away from the judgement seat. And they all took hold of Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio was not concerned about any of these things."
Some think the case was heard not here at the bema but in a building very close by (Fant and Reddish, A Guide to Biblical Sites in Turkey and Greece, p. 64).
Paul uses the concept of the bema in Romans 14:10, as "the judgment seat of God." Second Corinthians 5:10 speaks of the "judgment seat of Christ." Paul taught that every person's life will one day be reviewed by God, both those who have not accepted God's free and loving forgiveness--and thus are objects of divine justice--and those who have accepted grace and become God's children (which is much more

Delicious traditional food 🥂🇬🇷
Maybe you have come across a video of this cave of Zakynthos. 🤩
.
It does actually have a name, the locals call it the ‘cave of love’ 💕 (erotas).
.
Good to know: you’re NOT allowed to go there with a 30hp boat 🚤 that you skipper yourself. At Myzithres there is a boat guarding the situation and boats. So you have to hire a skipper 😊. Or maybe if you have a bigger boat and speedboat license it is possible!
.
👀 you can access the cave from the other side as well, by swimming through another cave! They are connected! How cool 😎.
.
I went on a private tour or you can rent out boats you can skipper yourself as well.
