The Foreshadowing of Jesus and the Roman Conquest of AD 73 – The Glory of the Lord

The foreshadowing of Jesus and the Roman conquest of AD 73 occurs in Numbers chapters 13 and 14. In today’s parallel – When the congregation stoned them/Stephen the glory of the Lord appeared. Note: the post ascension appearance of Jesus to Stephen is foreshadowed in Numbers chapters 13 and 14.

Numbers 14:10 But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Then the glory of the LORD appeared…

Acts 7:55 But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 And he said, “Behold, I see the heavens have completely opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.” 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.
