all being directed into Rome - {Note: Luke and Paul in recording the
Book of Acts seem to be informing the young European Gentile Church
that yes, Christianity has come to Europe, primarily in the form of Paul
[a bound prisoner of Rome] and his two scraggly traveling companions
[Luke and Aristarchus]. But to know for certain that also coming to
Rome [Western Europe] are the forces of Egypt [Eastern Mysticism,
Ancient Babylon Mystery Religion], Persian [eventually Islam]
influences, Greek mythology, Malta mysticism and Gnostic heresy.
Christianity would come to Europe and Europe would have an
appearance of Christianity a veneer of Christianity but below the
veneer would be a blend of *Mystery Babylon counter religions that the
Christian Church would have to continually contend with.}
"Acts 27:5-6 And when we had sailed over the sea of Cilicia [region of Turkey near the crossroads of Western Asia
and Eastern Europe] and Pamphylia [Ancient Pamphylia was situated on the southern coast of modern Turkey - The
region came under the control of the Persians in the 6th century B.C. - unrv.com/provinces/pamphylia.php], we
came to Myra, a city of Lycia [Galatia]. And **there the centurion found a ship of Alexandria [Egypt] sailing into
Italy [Rome]; and he put us therein." -- "Acts 27:14 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind,
called *Euroclydon (G2148 - Euraquilo)." Luke records that the sailors called this wind Euraquilo. An unusual
name, it has been found in one ancient inscription and is a slang compound [blend - marriage] of Greek and
(Roman) Latin. The Greek Erus (east) and the Latin Aquilo (north) translates as "northeaster," a strong winter wind
[parsagard.com/2-storm.htm]. -- "Acts 28:11-12 And after three months we departed [Malta] in **a ship of
Alexandria [Egypt], which *had wintered [was dormant for a season] in the isle, whose sign [Gnosticism] was
Castor and Pollux. And landing at Syracuse [a historic city in Sicily, the capital of the province of Syracuse - The
city was founded by Ancient Greek Corinthians - today is part of the Unification of Italy of 1865 - wikipedia.com],
we tarried there three days." -- {Note: Remember that Mystery Babylon is that fallen Angelic realm that sits atop 7
Gentile Kingdoms that influences mankind - consisting of the time of the 2nd earth (earth 2.0) - from the flood of
Noah until the 2nd Coming of Jesus Christ. - "Revelation 17:5-11 And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT [fallen angelic - Satanic realm], THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. ... And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains [Gentile Kingdoms - Nimrod (Tower of Babel), Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome and Revised-
Rome], on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings [thrones i.e. throne of David - except they are all
Gentile thrones]: five are fallen [Nimrod, Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece], and one is [Rome], and the other
[Revised-Rome] is not yet come; and when he [Antichrist] cometh, he must continue a short space [3½ years and
possibly until 7 years]. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth [eight king illegally, not the eight
Kingdom - the true 8th King and Kingdom is of the Messiah Jesus Christ], and is of the seven [the 7th King
Antichrist tries to sit on the throne (Matthew 24:15) of Messiah the 8th Kingdom], and goeth into perdition."}
Evidence and Paul's Journeys - Caesarea to Fair Havens
The Egyptian Grain Ship (Acts 27.6) - Landing at Myra, the Centurion transfers Paul and the other prisoners to an
Alexandrian grain ship bound for Rome. Myra was a major port in the eastern empire. It lay directly north of
Alexandria, Egypt, on the far side of the Mediterranean. An Egyptian ship sailing for Rome would have to sail north
to Myra at this time of year, because it was impossible to sail directly northwest to Rome. The prevailing wind from
the west forced ships sailing from Egypt to Rome to follow this indirect route. This presents us with a series of
interesting evidential coincidences. The same westerly wind that accounted for the shortness of Paul's trip to Sidon
is the wind that required his ship to sail north of Cyprus, and is also the wind that brought the Egyptian ship to
