Read Acts 27:14. To which type of wind is Luke referring, and how does it play a role in this story?
-
This would be a frontal wind and the wind is very strong. Shipping closes down they are so fierce.
-
This is a frontal wind, which makes travel on the Mediterranean dangerous in winter – hence the shipwreck.
-
The type of wind mentioned in this story is a Northeaster which caused a storm. I think this is a frontal wind because of its strength and the damage it caused to the ship.
-
Very violent winter winds which made sailing in the Mediterranean unsafe, so shipping was stopped because of the danger of the wind. Paul’s shipwreck story was probably from these winds–they waited too late to sail and were caught in the stormy sea.
-
A Hurricane-force wind called a Northeaster which caused a shipwreck.
