Around this time of year, most of the shipping expeditions are halted because the weather is so bad on the seas in winter. Paul tells them, By the way, we don't have any evidence that this is a message from God. It could just be Paul speaking from experience. Either way, they don't listen to him. He's a prisoner after all. Sure enough, they hit a storm.

On day two of the storm, they start throwing the ship's cargo overboard, which probably includes exports like wheat. On day three of the storm, they start throwing their actual tools and maybe even parts of the ship itself overboard. They're getting desperate. The sky is dark and stormy for days, and they're feeling hopeless. And probably seasick, too, I'm guessing.

They haven't had anything to eat in days, but I'm not sure if that makes things better or worse. At one point, Paul stands up and says, I wish you would have taken my words to heart. But hopefully now that you've seen me give good advice, you'll listen to me. Especially because this new message is actually from an angel. He told me that no one is going to die.

We'll lose the boat, but we'll all live. So be encouraged. God is going to get us all to Rome, but a shipwreck is part of the journey. After two weeks of this nightmare, they're finally approaching land. They start to make preparations to go to shore by dropping anchors from a dinghy, but Paul tells them, nope, stay in the boat. They listen to him this time and cut the dinghy free.

Paul starts calling the shots on the boat, and they're actually listening to him. The next day, they shipwreck into the island of Malta, just south of Sicily. In the late 1960s, some divers found four anchors off the coast of Malta that date back to 1st century Rome.

The site where the anchors were discovered fits with the criteria listed in the text, so it's possible that these may be the anchors from Paul's ship. We've posted a photo and an article about this in the show notes.

The soldiers plan to kill the prisoners when they hit land before they're able to escape, but God has promised that no one will die, and he thwarts their plan via the compassion of Paul's guard, Julius. And just like God promised, they all survive.
