The foreshadowing
of Jesus and the Roman conquest of AD 73 occurs in Numbers chapter 13. In
today’s parallel - both Jesus [The True Vine] and the grape vine in Numbers 13
were hanged on a wooden pole between two robbers. Note that the two men in
Numbers 13 took a grape vine that did not belong to them thus they were
“robbers.”
John 15:1 I am the
true vine…Matthew 27:38 Then two robbers were crucified with him, one on
the right and one on the left.
Numbers 13:23 And
they came to the Valley of Eshcol, and cut down from there a branch with a
single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them…
