1 | Psalms 22 -awsome and confusing..... | 2 Sam 23:2 | seedling | 151126 | ||
I have read Psalms 22 today. The chapter mentioned that David was praying in great distressed, but the words seems to reflect on what Christ went through and not on David's trials. Was David prophesying here?? It is amazing these words were written before Christ was born! Seedling |

David was a prophet (Acts 2:32) and he was prophesying there. You note, correctly, that those words were written before Christ was born. That is the way it is with prophecy. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1). So the Spirit of the Lord spoke by David. How do we know when a prophet has been prophesying? Sometimes he tells us in advance. At other times, as in Psalm 22, he does not come out and say so. But someone with authority, such as the Lord Jesus Christ or one of the Apostles may let us know. Thus Jesus often said, “It is written”. Sometimes he would engage in an action so that a prophecy might be fulfilled. See, for example, Matthew 1:22; 2:15; 2:17; 4:14. Sometimes, as in the case of Psalm 22:1, it seems hardly necessary to say; Jesus utters the exact same words in Matthew 27:46. Sometimes, it is left unambiguous: “Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, ‘I thirst‘“ ( John 19:28). We need to be careful not to spiritualize without authority. But sometimes it is clear that a passage such as Psalm 22 is a prophecy. It was a song that came to David, but it was the Holy Spirit who was inspiring him. And the song was about Jesus. |
