This is a journey to the discovery of the 4 anchors from Apostle Paul's Shipwreck off the coast of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea in the year 60AD. The full DVD will be available early in 2011. Visit baseinstitute.org for more info.
Once we had come safely through, we discovered that the island was called Malta.
The inhabitants treated us with unusual kindness. They made us all welcome by lighting a huge fire because it had started to rain and the weather was cold.
Paul had collected a bundle of sticks and was putting them on the fire when a viper brought out by the heat attached itself to his hand
When the inhabitants saw the creature hanging from his hand they said to one another, 'That man must be a murderer; he may have escaped the sea, but divine justice would not let him live.'
However, he shook the creature off into the fire and came to no harm,
although they were expecting him at any moment to swell up or drop dead on the spot. After they had waited a long time without seeing anything out of the ordinary happen to him, they changed their minds and began to say he was a god.
