Good morning. But know
this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own
interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men
moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God. No one made this up. They could not have!
And because it comes through the Holy Spirit, no one can brag. Since it comes
from God, it is infallible. But because people want to know the future so much:
false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false
teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even
denying the master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.
All they have to do is give a little truth mixed with a lot of lies. People
want to believe so much. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of
them the way of the truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will
exploit you with false words; their judgment from long-ago is not idle, and
their destruction is not asleep. Again people want to believe so much they will
"buy" the false elixir that cures all, like in the Old West. Do not
listen to them. Again they mix a little truth with a lot of lies. If you don't
know the word, you will be easily taken in. If you think you can't be fooled,
you will be. Father thank You that the reader only listens to Your words. He/she
is not deceived by those speaking falsehood to him/her. He/she relies totally
on You and Your word.
When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.
Good morning. When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion. Notice that “we“ returns. Luke has not been mentioned during the entire two years that Paul was at Caesarea. I guess it is safe to assume that he was in the area during this time. We will leave out the names of a bunch of places where they passed. They had sailed for a good many days and began to have trouble with the wind. This was a warning of what was about to happen. When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast (Day of Atonement) was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives. The centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. They did not want to get stuck for the winter in the port where they were located. They actually were only g...
