Psalms 22
1. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
2. O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
3. But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4. Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6. But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8. He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
This is a magnificent chapter. The first time I read this, I cried and cried as I saw the sufferings of our precious Saviour, in a way I had not seen it before.
Many people do not realize that Psalms; in fact all the prophet books are really the words of Jesus. They are all about Jesus. If you do not learn this, you will miss all the glory and the truth.
Now before we are finished with this chapter you will see crystal clear that it could be about no one except Jesus. All the way.
Verse one, this is Jesus�?cry from the cross, My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me? Now this is not a dual natured person who some kind of way has forsaken part of himself. People have made up some hideous lies about Jesus in order to try to prove a false doctrine which states that Jesus was God and the only ‘person�?in the God head. This also crosses out the trinity lie that Jesus was a second person in a Godhead, who is co-equal with God. This foolish teaching is not one time written in God’s Word. If so, why is Jesus crying out and praying for God to come and help him? He had said not my will, but thine be done.
This is one of their lies, that Jesus had a dual nature. Jesus had faith in God is what he had. All of his miracles were done by simply believing God. Jesus is NOT calling himself or a part of himself his own God. That is sheer foolishness. He was praying here for His God to come and help him. You cannot make anything else out of this and be true to this Word.
Now verse two-- again Jesus calls out to His God. He says, O my God why are you not hearing me? Why? Because God had forsaken Jesus and left him to die all alone, the sins of the whole world having been placed upon Jesus. God turned his back on Jesus, as he died the death of a sinner. Afterwards his soul went into hell fire. Psm. 16: 10 & Psm. 116: 3.
Now not too many preachers will tell you this. But this is the word of God. Jesus paid the debt of all our sins and the price of second death. If you go there, you will have to reject this sacrifice.
Then Jesus tells God how he has delivered the fathers when they cried to Him...v6--But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. Isa. 53.
If He were God, why do you suppose he called himself a worm?
7. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
8. He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
Here is where the people mocked Jesus and said come down from the cross and we will believe you. Where is your God?
9. But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
10. I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
11. Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
12. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16. For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
18. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
Verse 10--.... Thou are my God from my mother’s belly.
So here Jesus declares that The Father was His God from his birth. (Who can call Jesus a lie? You must do so to deny that Jesus has a God).
Verse 11-- again Jesus pleads with God to come and help him. If this does not rend your soul, you have a hard heart.
Verse 14--solid proof that this is Jesus at his crucifixion ---- all my bones are out of joint. And verse 16--. They pierced my hands and my feet.
Do you know of anyone this could fit other than the Lord Jesus?
Verse 18-- More Proof. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. If this is not Jesus, I want someone to tell me who it is. Use Scripture.
19. But be not thou far from me, O Lord: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
20. Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.
21. Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.
Now in these three verses we have Jesus still praying and pleading with His God to come and deliver him and save and help him. And this is God? I think not. He was as helpless on that cross as I would have been. Why? Because God had forsaken him. And this is not Jesus�?own spirit either. If so, Jesus would have been dead for the body without the spirit is dead. God left no loopholes for anyone to teach lies from and deny this truth. If you deliberately call God’s Word a lie, to support a false churches teachings, you will lose your own soul.
Wake up, people, before it is too late for you. Accept the real, pure truth of God’s Holy Word. Jesus was not God.
God was his Father who sent him here. God was Jesus�?God. He still is.
The rest of the chapter prophecies of Jesus�?resurrection where and when Jesus will praise God unto his brethren, us humans.
Thank You Lord Jesus for your glorious TRUTH. This truth, that Jesus is the Christ, the SON OF THE LIVING GOD is the only true foundation which the true Church of Jesus is built upon. All other doctrines are sinking sand. The house built upon this sinking sand will collapse and great will be the fall of it.
