We are wrapping up today our series on “Did Not The Christ Have To Suffer These Things?”
Psalm 22 and Isaiah 53 are biblical chapters that hit hard in this area.
We will go over a few more verses today.
Zechariah 12:10 – 10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
Here is a third scripture speaking of being pierced. The other two were Psalm 22:16 and Isaiah 53:5.
Isaiah 50:6 – 6 I offered my back to those who beat me, my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard; I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting.
Isaiah 52:13-14 – 13 See, my servant will act wisely; he will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted. 14 Just as there were many who were appalled at him— his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness—
The last two scriptures speak more on Him being beaten so severely He was disfigured.
Psalm 41:9 – 9 Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
Judas Iscariot.
Psalm 118:22 – 22 The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone;
The builders were supposed to be Jews; through the line of David. Nevertheless rejected He has become the capstone of the Church.
Zechariah 11:12 – 12 I told them, “If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.” So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.
The exact price Judas received for betraying Jesus.
Hosea 6:2 – 2 After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
A neat scripture because not only did He resurrect on the third day and allow us to be restored, but I feel this may also be stating that the third day is also the beginning of the thousand years soon to come. In Peter he states with the Lord a day is like a thousand years.
2 Peter 3:8 – Psalm 118:22 – 8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
So two days, two thousand years on the third day restored.
There are many different prophecies on the first coming of Jesus. I wanted to concentrate on the ones where He was to be rejected and suffer for our sins.
