Similarities & Differences

If you look into history you will see the shadow of Christ, when Jacobs son's son encounter Joseph in Egypt. 900 hundred years later Zechariah would prophecy; "They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son." Zechariah 12:10  About, 530 years later the House of David would welcome him as king and just as quickly call for his crucifixion.

History is so obviously His-story, that in turn becomes our story.

Eventually, all people will realize that Jesus, the man who was pierced and killed, is indeed the Messiah. There was an awakening, with sorrow for sin and genuine revival. This revival will continue till; "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place  and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.  Philippians 2:9-11.  That is how his-story will end and a new story will begin.
