Mob Rule

What does Ecclesiastes  say?  There is nothing new under the sun.

Acts 6:8-15(NKJV)

And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people. 

Then there arose some from what is called the Synagogue of the Freedmen (Cyrenians, Alexandrians, and those from Cilicia and Asia), disputing with Stephen. 

And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke. 

Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.” 

And they stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes; and they came upon him, seized him, and brought him to the council. 

They also set up false witnesses who said, “This man does not cease to speak blasphemous words against this holy place and the law; 

for we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place and change the customs which Moses delivered to us.” 

And all who sat in the council, looking steadfastly at him, saw his face as the face of an angel.

We see the same things going on today.  One recent example is the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearing.  Those against him coached false witnesses, etc.  How do we know?  Because several of the accusers admitted so after the fact.

Nothing new under the sun indeed!!!
