Crucifixion was not a punishment that originated with the Jews or their judicial laws. Crucifixion was a brutal form of punishment that was common among the Romans. The Romans chose this mode of capital punishment to put fear in everyone who would stand against Rome and Roman laws. Crucifixion was common in first century Israel and this fact is well documented in the writings of Josephus.
Jesus referred to this incident in reference to His own mission. He said that He would have to be lifted up in the same way that Moses lifted a snake in the desert. Jesus would be held up on a pole (the cross) so that people who believed in Him could have eternal life (John 3: 14â15).Another passage that foreshadowed the manner of Jesusâ death appears in Isaiah. He predicted that the coming Messiah would be âpiercedâ or âpierced throughâ for our wrongdoings (Isaiah 53:5).t is clear that crucifixion was the only death that would fulfill the Old Testament prophecies, the predictions, of what would happen to the Messiah. A foreshadowing of Jesusâ crucifixion is recounted in Numbers Chapter 21. God had already delivered the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt.
