"Heads up Paul warned
on September 24th"
Guys I just came upon another sign and clue pointing to
September 24th! Acts 27:9-12 shows Paul warning the Gentiles
(non believers that sailing now was dangerous with much hurt
damage loss of ship provisions and lives. The day of this
warning 9/24 the day after the day of atonement! A coincidence
they do not exist. Daniels the words are unsealed new meaning
comes with persistence.
9Now when much time was spent, and when sailing was now
dangerous, because the fast was now already past, Paul
admonished them, 10And said unto them, Sirs, I perceive that
this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only of the
lading and ship, but also of our lives. 11Nevertheless the
centurion believed the master and the owner of the ship, more
than those things which were spoken by Paul. 12And because the
haven was not commodious to winter in, the more part advised to
depart thence also, if by any means they might attain to
Phenice, and there to winter; which is an haven of Crete, and
lieth toward the south west and north west.
The Gentiles did not listen and believed the ship owners
(rulers) and went on their business. Look what happened! The
storm came.
Paul warned them that they had to stay in the ship (ark) or
perish:
13And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had
obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by
Crete.
14But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind,
called Euroclydon. 15And when the ship was caught, and could not
bear up into the wind, we let her drive. 16And running under a
certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come
by the boat: 17Which when they had taken up, they used helps,
undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into
the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven. 18And we being
exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened
the ship; 19And the third day we cast out with our own hands the
tackling of the ship. 20And when neither sun nor stars in many
days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we
should be saved was then taken away.
21But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of
them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not
have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.
22And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be
no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. 23For
there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and
whom I serve, 24Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought
before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail
with thee. 25Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe
God, that it shall be even as it was told me. 26Howbeit we must
be cast upon a certain island.
The Shipwreck on Malta
27But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up
and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they
drew near to some country; 28And sounded, and found it twenty
fathoms: and when they had gone a little further, they sounded
again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 29Then fearing lest we
should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the
stern, and wished for the day. 30And as the shipmen were about
to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into
the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out
of the foreship, 31Paul said to the centurion and to the
soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
32Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her
fall off.
33And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to
take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have
tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. 34Wherefore
I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for
there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. 35And
when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God
in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to
eat. 36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some
meat. 37And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore
and sixteen souls. 38And when they had eaten enough, they
lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
39And when it was day, they knew not the land: but they
discovered a certain creek with a shore, into the which they
were minded, if it were possible, to thrust in the ship. 40And
when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves
unto the sea, and loosed the rudder bands, and hoised up the
mainsail to the wind, and made toward shore. 41And falling into
a place where two seas met, they ran the ship aground; and the
forepart stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder
part was broken with the violence of the waves. 42And the
soldiers' counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest any of them
should swim out, and escape. 43But the centurion, willing to
save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they
which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and
get to land: 44And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken
pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped
all safe to land.
A warning to all on the day after the day of atonement from
Paul.
