The Foreshadowing of Jesus and the Roman Conquest of AD 73 – The Twelve that were Sent

The foreshadowing of Jesus and the Roman conquest of AD 73 occurs in Numbers chapter 13. In today’s parallel - both Moses and Jesus send twelve men to spy out the inhabitants of the land of Canaan.

Numbers 13:17 Moses sent them [twelve men] to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, "Go up into the Negeb yonder, and go up into the hill country…

Matthew 10:5 These twelve Jesus sent out…11 Now whatever village or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go out.
