What Does Acts 16:8 Mean?
With Asia and Bithynia both closed, they pass through Mysia without stopping to preach and descend to Troas, the harbor city near the site of ancient Troy. They have reached the edge of the continent with no word yet about what comes next.
Troas looks like a dead end and is in fact a doorway. God has walked his servants to the water's edge, where only a vision and a ship now separate the gospel from Europe. When the Lord brings his people to a place of waiting, revelation is usually near.
