Prophesy Came True?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who recognize Christ’s crucifixion was prophesied in a Psalm of David. In Jesus’ name, amen.
The mention of pierced hands and feet and the division of Christ’s garments are two indications David was divinely inspired to write the sacred psalms.
The note in the English Standard Version of the Bible says of Psalm 22:18: “This verse [about lots being cast for Christ’s clothing] is quoted in John 19:24 (cf. Matthew 27:35; Mark 15:24 Luke; 23:34).”
Psalm 22:16-18 (ESV) says,
“For dogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers encircles me;
they have pierced my hands and feet—
I can count all my bones—
they stare and gloat over me;
they divide my garments among them,
and for my clothing they cast lots.”
God inspired David.
Praise God for the prophetic nature of the psalms.
