Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Anchor
In regard to the word "anchor", from Acts 27:29, 30, 40, it
would appear that the Roman vessels carried several anchors, which were
attached to the stern as well as to the prow. The Roman anchor, like the
modern one, had two teeth or flukes. In Heb. 6:19 the word is used
metaphorically for that which supports or keeps one steadfast in the
time of trial or of doubt. It is an emblem of hope. "If you fear,
Put all your trust in God: that anchor holds."
