Bible Question:
Is it possible that this part of the Psalm 107:23 - 32 is referring to Jesus calming the Seas when the He was in the boat with the disciples and when He was walking on the water? blessings abound, bowler |
Bible Answer: Are the two connected? Absolutely. But let me respond with this question. Was it a prophecy that Jesus had to fulfill? Or was Jesus simply intentionally doing this to connect Himself to that psalm in the mind of His disciples in order to make a statement about who He was. Side note: Fulfillment of passages in the OT within the new is a tricky topic. Becaues so many instances such as the one you just brought up are obviously connected to the life of Christ or the early church, but we must never forget the passage had very real meaning in the time of the Old Testament also. A Jew reading this Psalm in the year 10 BC would not have been confused by it but certain it was a glorifying story of Yahweh delivering sailors in the midst of a storm. So we find ourselves with the situation that nobody probably ever suspected this to be a prophecy until the moment Jesus did what he did. So we must ask ourselves, was it one? Or did Jesus just decide to pain a picture with His actions in an attempt to essentially say, "I AM this God who calms the storms in Psalm 107." I leave you to decide. God bless |
