Acts 7:1-45
But God turned away from them and gave them over to the worship of the sun, moon and stars.This agrees with what is written in the book of the prophets: Did you bring me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, people of Israel? You have taken up the tabernacle of Molek and the star of your god Rephan, the idols you made to worship. Therefore I will send you into exile’ beyond Babylon.
Stephen's lengthy defence takes the form of a review of the nation's history.
A round figure for a generation but also a number with special significance, marking each new development in the history of God's mighty acts.
Why?
God is mighty God, who did many wonder on Israelites, but Israelite rebel against the Lord many times. so the Lord sent them into exile beyond Babylon.
Even now at generation of Stephen, they still rebel the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ.
Review the nations's history in order to follow the way of God. Identify the word written in the book of the prophets to know Jesus Christ is son of the Lord.
How?
Obey God's word and trust in Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit in my life.
