Psalm 22

Why did the Man of Truth ask, why the Father of Truth had forsaken him on the cross?

The Prophet of Truth King David prophesied about the death of the Messiah of Israel in Psalm 22, and his prophesies came to pass, as recorded in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament).

King David prophesied, that the Messiah of Israel would ask why the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) had forsaken him (Psalm 22:1).

This is what the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) cried out on the cross, not long before he died, to direct everyone to this prophesy about the Messiah of Israel given by King David (Mark 15:32-37).

King David prophesied that the Messiah of Israel would cry out day and night for the Father of Truth to deliver him, but would not be delivered, even though He delivered the people of Israel when they trusted in Him (Psalm 22:2-5).

The Father of Truth did not deliver the Man of Truth from death, when he cried out during the day on the cross (Matthew 27:46-50).  The Father of Truth did not take him out of his distress, when he cried out the previous night to not go to the cross (Luke 22:41-48).

King David prophesied, that the Messiah of Israel would seem weak, be despised, and be mocked for trusting in the Father of Truth to deliver him (Psalm 22:6-8).

The Man of Truth seemed weak when the Jewish religious leaders spit in his face, hit him, and mocked him (Matthew 26:67-68).  He seemed weak when his face was covered, and even their servants abused him (Mark 14:65).  He seemed weak when they spoke blasphemy against him (Luke 22:63-65).

The Man of Truth seemed weak when the officer of the Temple guards unjustly hit him in the face for his answer to the High Priest (John 18:19-23).

The Man of Truth seemed weak when Herod Antipas and his men also hit him and mocked him (Luke 23:11).

The Man of Truth seemed weak when Pilate had him whipped (John 19:1).  Pilate thought that the Man of Truth was powerless to stop the crucifixion, until the Man of Truth spoke about how powerless Pilate really was (John 19:10-11). 

The people of Israel despised the Man of Truth so much, that they were willing to absolve the Roman governor of all responsibility, and place the guilt of killing the Man of Truth upon them and their descendants (Matthew 27:23-25).  They despised him so much, that they chose to remain under the rule of the Romans, over being under the rule of the Man of Truth (John 19:12-15).

The Man of Truth seemed weak when the Roman soldiers placed a reed as a scepter in his hand and mocked his claim to be the King of the Jews (Matthew 27:27-31).  He seemed weak when they placed a purple robe on him and mocked his claim to be the King of the Jews (Mark 15:16-20). He seemed weak when they placed a crown of thorns on him and mocked his claim to be the King of the Jews (John 19:2-3). 

The Man of Truth seemed weak when he was mocked while on the cross by the people of Israel, the religious leaders, and the thieves for trusting in the Father of Truth to deliver him (Matthew 27:39-44).  He was mocked by them for saying that he was the Messiah of Israel (Mark 15:16-20).  He was mocked by the people of Israel, their rulers, the Roman soldiers, and one of the thieves for saying that he was the King of the Jews (Luke 23:35-39).

The Man of Truth was even mocked just before he died, when he asked why the Father of Truth had forsaken him (Matthew 27:46-49).  He was mocked, because they could not see that the prophecy of King David was being fulfilled right before their eyes (Mark 15:32-36).

King David prophesied, that the Father of Truth would be a father to the Messiah of Israel (Psalm 22:9-10).

The Angel announced to Mary (Miriam) that the Man of Truth would be called the son of the Father of Truth (Luke 1:30-35).

The High Priest knew that the Messiah of Israel was the son of the Father of Truth, when he condemned the Man of Truth to death for blasphemy (Matthew 26:63-66).  The religious leaders and elders of Israel knew that the Man of Truth was calling himself the son the Father of Truth, when he said that he was the Messiah of Israel (Luke 22:66-71).

The Chief Priests demanded that the Man of Truth be crucified, because he said he was the son of the Father of Truth (John 19:6-7).

The people of Israel and the religious leaders mocked the Man of Truth while hung on the cross, for saying that he was the son of the Father of Truth (Matthew 27:39-43).

The Roman centurion and the soldiers with him said, that the Man of Truth was the son of the Father of Truth, because an earthquake shook Jerusalem when he died (Matthew 27:54).  The Centurion said this, because the Temple veil was torn from the top to the bottom when the Man of Truth died (Mark 15:37-39).

King David prophesied that there would be none to help the Messiah of Israel in his time of trouble (Psalm 22:11).

All his followers forsook the Man of Truth when he was arrested (Matthew 26:55-56).

King David prophesied that the bulls of Bashan would open their mouths like a lion to destroy the Messiah of Israel (Psalm 22:12-13).

The chief priests opened their mouths against the Man of Truth before Pilate to get him crucified (Matthew 27:12-13).  They opened their mouths against him, so that the crowd would demand that he be crucified (Matthew 27:20-22).  They opened their mouths against him while he was dying on the cross (Matthew 27:41-42).

(The chief priests oversaw the sacrificing of bulls in the Temple during their course.  Bashan was the main resort area that the chief priests went to during their vacations, especially the Levitical city of Golan, which was one of the cities of refuge.  Bashan was also famous for the dangerous wild bulls that lived there.  So, the bulls of Bashan is a fitting metaphor for the chief priests.)

King David prophesied that the Messiah of Israel would be poured out when his heart dissolve into water, his bones would be knocked out of joint, he would suffer severe thirst and dehydration, and he would finally die and be buried  (Psalm 22:14-15).

Blood and water flowed out of the Man of Truth was pierced in the side, indicating that the walls of his heart had dissolved (John 19:34).

The bones of the Man of Truth were knocked out of joint, when the solders stretched him to his limit on the cross, and then dropped it into the three foot (1 meter) deep hole that held it up (John 19:17-18).

The Man of Truth suffered such great thirst and dehydration on the cross, that he was willing to drink vinegar (John 19:28-29).

After this, The Man of Truth died and was buried (Luke 23:46-53).

King David prophesied that the Messiah of Israel would die from the wicked dogs assembled around him, piercing his hands and feet (Psalm 22:16).

A great assembly of Roman soldiers surrounded the Man of Truth, and pierced his hands and feet when they crucified him (Mark 15:16-20).

(Gentiles, like the Syrian-Phoenician woman (all Gentiles were commonly called Greeks, due to their adoption of Greek culture), were referred to as dogs at the time of the crucifixion (Mark 7:26-28).  This reference especially applied to the Romans, with their famous war dogs.  (The mastiff was the war dog of the Romans.))

King David prophesied that the form of the skeleton of the Messiah of Israel would be visible beneath his skin, causing these dogs to stare at him, after they parted his garments and cast lots upon his vesture (tallit) (Psalm 22:17-18).

The Roman soldiers parted his garments and cast lots upon his vesture after crucifying him, and then stared up at him (Matthew 27:35-36).  (The Roman soldiers cast lots, because his tallit (prayer shawl) was woven throughout, and dividing it would have made it worthless (John 19:23-24).)

The Prophet of Truth King David prophesied about the resurrection of the Messiah of Israel in Psalm 22, and his prophesies came to pass, as recorded in the Renewed Covenant.

King David prophesied that these dogs that crucified the Messiah of Israel, and these bulls that used their mouths like lions to destroy him, would use all their power to keep the Father of Truth from delivering him after he died (Psalm 22:19-21).

(The King James word "unicorn" means a rhinoceros, a very powerful animal with one horn protruding from its nose, not a mythical horse with one horn protruding from its forehead.  The great one horned rhinoceros was common in Israel during the time of King David.  King David used it represent great strength and power in this passage.)

The chief priests knew the Man of Truth had said that he would rise from the dead, so they had the Romans do everything they could to keep him in the tomb (Matthew 27:62-66).

King David prophesied that the Father of Truth would deliver the Messiah of Israel from them, so that he should live forever to proclaim the name of the Father of Truth among his brothers (Psalm 22:22-26).

Their efforts were in vain, for the Father of Truth delivered the Man of Truth from the power of death (Matthew 28:1-7)!  The Man of Truth rose again to proclaim the name of the Father of Truth among his brothers (Hebrews 2:9-12)!

King David prophesied that the death, burial, and resurrection of the Messiah of Israel, would cause people of every ethnic group in the entire world to turn from sin and to worship the Father of Truth (Psalm 22:27).

The Man of Truth commanded his followers to go and tell people about his death, burial, and resurrection from Jerusalem until they reached the furthest point on Earth from Jerusalem (Acts 1:1-8).  Their message has caused people of every ethnic group to turn from sin and to worship the Father of Truth (Acts 26:15-23).

The Prophet of Truth King David prophesied about the reign of the Messiah of Israel in Psalm 22, and his prophesies will come to pass, as recorded in the Renewed Covenant.

King David prophesied that the Messiah of Israel will rule over all nations (Psalm 22:28).

The Man of Truth will rule over all nations with a rod of iron as King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:11-16)!

King David prophesied that everyone shall bow before the Messiah of Israel (Psalm 22:29).

Everyone will bow before the Man of Truth (Philippians 2:10).

King David prophesied that a people would serve the Messiah of Israel as his seed, and they would be accounted as a generation (Psalm 22:30).

The followers of the Man of Truth are that chosen generation (1 Peter 2:9-10).

King David prophesied that they would declare the righteousness of the Messiah of Israel in his death, burial, and resurrection, to people that will be born in the future (Psalm 22:31).

The followers of the Man of Truth will declare his righteousness in his death, burial, and resurrection, to those born in the future kingdom, when they serve the Man of Truth as kings and priests (Revelation 5:9-10).

So, Psalm 22 is one of the most direct passages in the entire Original Covenant (Tanakh aka The Old Testament) about the crucifixion, death, resurrection and future reign of the Messiah of Israel.  The Man of Truth directed everyone to Psalm 22 by quoting the first verse on the cross, so that everyone could understand that Psalm 22 was about him.

The Rabbis have tried different strategies to keep the Jewish people from seeing this.

The Rabbis distorted the text of Psalm 22 in the Masoretic text.

The Masoretic text of Psalm 22, written about 1000 AD, says, "kari", which means "like a lion", instead of "karu", which means "they pierced".  The Rabbis have various explanations for the phrase "like a lion my hands and feet" that appears in the Masoretic text of Psalm 22.  All of them are convoluted conjectures that do not agree with each other.  The only thing that their explanations do agree on, is that this word is not "karu", "they pierced", which would mean crucifixion.

However, the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Original Covenant made around 250 BC for Ptolemy II, emperor of the Ptolemy Empire, says "they pierced".   More than that, the Hebrew text of Psalm 22 in the Dead Sea Scrolls, written around 200 BC, also says "karu", "they pierced".

It is unlikely that "kari" was an accidental mistake, since there was a thirty-two point inspection of each letter during the copying process by another scribe to make sure that not a jot or tittle was different.  (A Yod, that makes the "i" in "kari", could be changed to or mistaken for a Vwavw that makes the "u" in "karu".  They look similar, but a Vwavw has a much longer vertical tittle than the much shorter vertical jot of a Yod.)  It is most likely just another example of Rabbinic Distort.

Whether "karu" became "kari" in the Masoretic text on purpose or by accident, the original word was preserved in The Incorruptible Word.

The Rabbis also made sure that the Jewish people did not hear Psalm 22 in the synagogue service.

A haftorah (portion of The Prophets) is read in addition to a parashah (portion of the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) ) each Sabbath in the synagogue service.  Before 300 BC, a yearly cycle was set up to read all of the Law of Truth over the course of each year.  A related haftorah was also chosen to be read each Sabbath as part of that cycle as well.  Around 350 AD, Psalms 22 was removed from the yearly cycle and replaced with a different passage, because Jewish people were hearing Psalm 22 in their synagogue services and jumping to the right conclusion about the Man of Truth being the Messiah of Israel.

The Rabbis have also discouraged the Jewish people from reading Psalm 22.

The Rabbis have told the Jewish people that Psalms 22 can only be understood correctly by those trained in the Talmud.  Anyone else would interpret Psalms 22 to mean exactly what it says.

The Rabbis are liars about Psalm 22.  They cannot continue their deception about the Man of Truth, if Jewish people hear or read Psalm 22 as it was originally written.

They are not alone in this deception about Psalm 22.

Gentiles have also recognized that Psalm 22 is about the Man of Truth.  In fact, Gentile skeptics of the Renewed Covenant used to claim that Psalm 22 must have been written after the crucifixion of the Man of Truth, because it was such a clear depiction of the crucifixion of the Man of Truth.  However, this accusation was completely destroyed by the discovery of Psalm 22 in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

So, it certain that Psalm 22 was written about the crucifixion, death, resurrection and reign of the Man of Truth a thousand years before he was born.  The only question is are you going to believe Psalm 22 or deny reality?

Now that you are no longer ignorant about Psalm 22, the Father of Truth is demanding that you repent, since He raised the Man of Truth from the dead to remove all doubt that the Man of Truth will judge the world as the Messiah of Israel (Acts 17:30-31).

So, come into the House by making the Man of Truth your king, because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead, as foretold in Psalm 22 (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth!
