Feb 18 – Psalm 22:14-18 – The Future revealed

?

?

?

???? David now begins to list off some prophetic words.? He is seeing in the future.? Many see David as a king, warrior and composer of music.? Yes David was multi-talented but he was also a prophet.? God showed Him things.? In this psalm, he is poured out like water and all his bones are out of joint.? Job said the same thing in Job 30:16.? This is how Jesus would be on the day of his death.? All his joints were out of place because of the beating He would receive.? His heart has melted like wax.? There is nothing left.? Jesus would be like that as well.

?

???? In vs 15-16, Jesus’ strength would be gone.? His tongue would stick to the roof of his mouth.? On the cross Jesus called for a drink.? They gave him vinegar wine.? .? It would be the Lord that would lay this all on the suffering servant.? Evil men would surround Him and they would pierce His hands and feet.? Jesus had that happen.? Even today we can see the wounds on His hands and feet.? By His stripes we would be healed.? He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our sins.

?

???? In vs 17-18, Jesus could count all his bones, they were exposed by the whip and hanging on the cross.? They would divide His garments and cast lots for His clothing.? All that happened to Jesus.? David was describing the crucifixion.? It must have broken David’s heart to see this.? His own descendant going through this.? What love, what a savior, what salvation.? Jesus did all this for you and me today.
