ACTS 21:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.”
And coming to us, he took Paul's belt, bound his own feet and hands, and said, 'Thus says the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles' — Agabus performs a prophetic sign-action in the manner of OT prophets (Jeremiah wrapping a linen waistband, Isaiah going naked). The sign is not mere prediction but a theurgic pronouncement that makes present what is foretold; Paul's belt becomes the symbol of bondage he will suffer.
