The discussion in class on Paul’s journey to Jerusalem, though he was warned by disciples in Tyre against going on to Jerusalem, brings several things to mind. There are several possible reasons that Paul would go on to Jerusalem despite the warnings. One is that he just simply wanted to go back to Jerusalem and he was hard set on doing that regardless of what someone else said. Perhaps he thought that he would be able to go through persecution once again like he had in the past. But what I think is the reason kind of goes along with Dr. Foster’s ideas of the fish going back up stream theory. I think he knew that this would be his end but that he fought a good fight and as he said "I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."
