{{DOD-November}}
In chapter 6 we read of a new problem within the assembly. In chapter 5 it was deceit in the hearts of Ananias and Sapphira; while here it is complaining among the ranks of the believers. Chapter 7 contains the longest single speech in the Book of Acts, and perhaps the most important. This chapter is the turning point in [[Israel]]'s history, for it records their third murder, and their final rejection of the Kingdom. In his address before the council, Stephen reviews the history of [[Israel]] and points out that the nation has always rejected [[God]]'s chosen leaders when they first appeared, but received them the second time. Both [[Moses]] and [[Joseph]] were rejected by their brethren the first time, but were accepted the second. This is the very way [[Israel]] treated Christ. He was presented to them on earth by [[John]] the Baptist and the apostles, but they refused Him. [[Israel]] will receive Christ when He appears the second time.
