King David Foretells The Death Of The Messiah

Psalms 22:1-31

My God (God Almighty), My God (God Almighty), why have YOU (God Almighty) Forsaken Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ)?  Why are YOU (God Almighty) so far from helping Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ), and from The Words of My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Groaning?  O My God (God Almighty), I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Cry in the daytime, but YOU (God Almighty) do NOT hear; and in the night season, and am NOT silent.  But YOU (God Almighty) are Holy, Enthroned in The Praises of Israel.  Our fathers Trusted in YOU (God Almighty); they Trusted, and YOU (God Almighty) Delivered them.  They Cried to YOU (God Almighty), and were Delivered; they Trusted in YOU (God Almighty), and were NOT ashamed.

But I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and Despised by The People (Unbelievers).  All those (Unbelievers) who see Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Ridicule Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); they (Unbelievers) shoot out the lip, they (Unbelievers) shake the head, saying, “He (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Trusted in The LORD (God Almighty), let Him (God Almighty) Rescue Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); let Him (God Almighty) Deliver Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ), since He (God Almighty) Delights in Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ)!”

But YOU (God Almighty) are He (God Almighty) who took Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) out of The Womb; YOU (God Almighty) Made Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Trust, while on My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Mother’s Breasts.  I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) was Cast Upon YOU (God Almighty) from Birth.  From My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Mother’s Womb, YOU (God Almighty) have been My God (God Almighty).  Be NOT far from Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ), for Trouble is near; for there is NONE to Help.  Many bulls (Unbelievers) have Surrounded Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); strong bulls (Unbelievers) of Bashan have Encircled Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  They (Unbelievers) gape at Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) with their (Unbelievers) mouths, like a raging and roaring lion.

I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) am Poured Out like Water, and All My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Bones are out of joint; My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Heart is like wax; It (My Heart) has Melted within Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Strength is dried up like a potsherd, and My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Tongue clings to My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Jaws; YOU (God Almighty) have Brought Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) to the dust of death.  For dogs (Unbelievers) have Surrounded Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); the congregation of the wicked (Unbelievers) has Enclosed Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  They (Unbelievers) Pierced My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Hands and My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Feet; I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) can count All My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Bones.  They (Unbelievers) look and stare at Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  They (Unbelievers) divide My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Garments among them (Unbelievers), and for My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Clothing they (Unbelievers) cast lots.  But YOU (God Almighty), O LORD (God Almighty), do NOT be far from Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); O My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Strength, hasten to help Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ)!  Deliver Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) from the sword, My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Precious Life, from the power of the dog.  Save Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) from the lion’s mouth and from the horns of the wild oxen!

YOU (God Almighty) have answered Me (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) will Declare Your (God Almighty’s) Name to My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Brethren (Believers); in The Midst of The Assembly, I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) will Praise YOU (God Almighty).  YOU (Believers) who fear The LORD (God Almighty), Praise Him (God Almighty)!  All YOU (Believers) Descendants of Jacob, Glorify Him (God Almighty), and fear Him (God Almighty), All YOU (Believers) Offspring of Israel!  For He (God Almighty) has NOT despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; nor has He (God Almighty) Hidden His (God Almighty’s) Face from Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ); but when He (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Cried to Him (God Almighty), He (God Almighty) Heard.  My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Praise shall be of YOU (God Almighty) in The Great Assembly; I (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Will Pay My (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Vows, before those (Believers) who fear Him (God Almighty). 

The Poor (Believers) shall Eat and be Satisfied; Those (Believers) who seek Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) will Praise The LORD (God Almighty).  Let Your Heart (Believers) Live Forever!  All The Ends of the World, Shall Remember and Turn To The LORD (God Almighty), and All The Families of The Nations, Shall Worship Before YOU (God Almighty).  For The Kingdom IS The LORD’s (God Almighty’s) and He (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) Rules Over The Nations.  All The Prosperous (Believers) of the Earth, Shall Eat and Worship; All (Mankind) those who go down to the dust, Shall Bow Before Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ), even he (Unbelievers) who cannot keep himself (Unbelievers) alive.  A Posterity (Believers) Shall Serve Him (The Messiah/Jesus Christ).  It will be Recounted of The LORD (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) to The Next Generation, They (Believers) will Come and Declare His (The Messiah’s/Jesus Christ’s) Righteousness to a People (Believers), Who WILL BE BORN, that He (The Messiah/Jesus Christ) has Done This.

Fellow Believers, do These Words sound familiar: “My God, My God, why have YOU Forsaken Me?”  “They Pierced My Hands and My Feet.”  “They divide My Garments among them, and for My Clothing they cast lots.”  Yes, I’m sure those words sound very familiar, especially for anyone who has read The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.  King David was Blessed by God Almighty, to know These Things, before King David’s death and way before Jesus Christ’s Birth and subsequent Death.  King David’s descriptions are quite accurate.  Did YOU (Believers) notice, King David even talks about Us (Believers)?  This is just a taste of “The Foretelling of The Messiah”, Jesus Christ.  Amen.
