If arrows mysteriously appeared all over Tauranga and they were discovered to all point toward the same area, say Yatton Park for example, masses would flock there.
Many ancient Bible stories written before Jesus was born clearly, but mysteriously, POINT to Him. Just one of many examples is the story of Abraham and Isaac (Genesis 22). Isaac was Abraham’s promised miracle child through his wife Sarah, a barren woman. Isaac is described as Abraham’s only son. Abraham had to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. He was willing to do it, as difficult as that was. The place of sacrifice was on one of the mountains of Moriah. Isaac carried on his back the wood for the offering. He passively and willingly submitted to His Father tying him up and placing him on the altar of sacrifice when he was probably strong enough to escape. Abraham was confident this would not be the end of His son. The scripture refers to the day Isaac was delivered from this death penalty as the ‘third day’.
Jesus, God’s only begotten son also came by miracle birth, was willingly sacrificed by His Father on a hill of Moriah (2 Chronicles 3:1), carried the wooden cross on His back, passively and willingly laid His life down despite having power to escape and was raised from the dead the third day.
Like arrows mysteriously pointing to Yatton Park would cause many to flock there, may you flock to Jesus, the good Shepherd ancient scripture clearly and mysteriously pointed to.
