Not things that happened in the past. Also the copy I have from Josephus says 'THE STONE COMETH' and is more likely the correct one. Not because it fits my story but that it simply makes sense and is more plausible.

J. Stuart Russell in his book The Parousia, writes: “It could not but be well known to the Jews that the great hope and faith of the Christians was the speedy coming of the Son. … St James, the brother of our Lord, publicly testified in the temple that ‘the Son of man was about to come in the clouds of heaven,’ … It seems highly probable that the Jews, in their defiant and desperate blasphemy, when they saw the white mass hurtling through the air, raised the ribald cry, ‘The Son is coming,’ in mockery of the Christian hope of the Parousia, to which they might trace a ludicrous resemblance in the strange appearance of the missile.’” ( Our Daily Thread, see also RC Sproul’s The Last Days According to Jesus)
