Why Israel Rejected Moses — And Then Rejected Christ

B18L10 Acts 7 reveals a stunning pattern: Israel rejected Moses TWICE before he delivered them — just as they rejected Christ. Stephen's sermon drives this home with devastating force. 📖 In this verse-by-verse study through Acts 7, we uncover details about Moses that the Old Testament never tells us — his 40 years in Pharaoh's palace, 40 years in Midian, and 40 years leading Israel. Stephen uses this history to confront the nation with one piercing truth: they have always rejected their deliverer the first time. Moses was rejected. Christ was rejected. And now, as Stephen stands before them, Israel reaches the crescendo of her rebellion. ✝️ Key Topics Covered: • Why Moses' three 40-year periods are only revealed in Acts 7 — not Genesis • Moses as a type of Christ: rejected the first time, accepted the second • Acts 7:25 — "He supposed they would have understood" — what most people miss • Stephen's sermon as a "dagger to the heart" of Israel's religious leaders • Psalms 67–68 and why Christ "standing" at God's right hand enraged the crowd • The stoning of Stephen and Israel's crescendo of rejection • Why Rome allowed Jews to stone their own — and what that means for Acts • The introduction of Saul of Tarsus — and Galatians 1:13 reveals he was the leader 🔑 Acts 7 verse by verse, Moses type of Christ Bible study, Stephen's sermon Acts 7, Saul of Tarsus introduction Acts 8, Galatians 1:13 Paul persecuted the church, Israel rejected Christ, Psalms 67 68 Christ standing right hand of God, Moses 40 years Pharaoh Midian wilderness. 💡 Les Feldick Bible Study brings you verse-by-verse Bible teaching that makes the scriptures come alive.
