What does Acts 20:29-30 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Paul may have been certain where future trouble would come from because of his contacts with that church, by special Revelation , or because of his general experience in ministry (cf. Matthew 7:15; John 10:12). What he anticipated materialized ( 1 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 Timothy 1:19-20; 1 Timothy 4:1-7; 2 Timothy 1:15; 2 Timothy 2:17-18; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; Revelation 2:1-7). Most churches face opposition from people outside and inside their fellowship.
