The foreshadowing
of Jesus and the Roman conquest of AD 73 occurs in Numbers chapter 13. In
today’s parallel – for forty days after being hanged on a pole, both Jesus [The
True Vine] and the grape vine in Numbers 13 traveled throughout Israel in the
company of twelve men.
John 15:1 I am the
true vine…Acts 1:3 To these [the apostles] he also presented himself alive
after his suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period
of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God.
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…
13:25 At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land…
