The Foreshadowing of Jesus and the Roman Conquest of AD 73 – The Stoning of Stephen

The foreshadowing of Jesus and the Roman conquest of AD 73 occurs in Numbers chapters 13 and 14. In today’s parallel – after the Word of God was brought to all of the congregation, the congregation said to stone them.

Numbers 14:10 But all the congregation said to stone them with stones.

Acts 7:57 But they cried out with a loud voice, and covered their ears and rushed together upon him. 58 Then they cast him out of the city and began to stone him. 8:1 that day a great persecution arose against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the region of Judea and Samaria.
