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 cut and then bodily carried away by two men.
John 15:1 I am the
true vine…John 19:34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear…John
19:38 But after this Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but
secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body
of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. 39
And Nicodemus, who had at first come to him by night, also came, bringing a
mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. 40 So they took the body of
Jesus…
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…
