Who is Agabus?
AG'ABUS
(possibly locust), a prophet who foretold in Antioch while Paul and Barnabas were there, A. D. 43. Acts 11:28. A famine took place the following year. It was probably limited to Judaea, where it was severe. The poor Jews were relieved by Helena, the queen of Adiabene, who bought corn for them out of Alexandria. Aid was sent to the Christians in Jerusalem from Antioch. Acts 11:29. Many years after, Agabus met Paul at Cesarea, and warned him of the sufferings he would endure if he went to Jerusalem. Acts 21:10.
