Did you know that there is a reference to the stoning of Stephen in the Old Testament that predates the actual event by 1000 years?

After the Word of God was brought to the congregation, the congregation would begin to stone them. When the congregation stoned them the glory of the Lord would appear.
Numbers 14:10 / Acts 7:57-8:1

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.
