Prophesy Fulfilled

My strength has dried up like sunbaked clay. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You have laid me in the dust and left me for dead. My enemies surround me like a pack of dogs; an evil gang closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and feet. I can count all my bones. My enemies stare at me and gloat. They divide my garments among themselves and throw dice for my clothing. Psalm 22:15-18  

Jesus’ ministry took Him on a journey to the Cross. This passage from Psalm 22 gives us more prophetic details of Jesus crucifixion. Thirsty, weak, feeling abandoned and threatened. Pain—excruciating pain from the nails—in His wrists, hands and feet. His bones were aching as gravity pulled Him down and the nails secured Him to the Cross. Below Him the guards were arguing over His garments—what was going on? It is not like He was wearing expensive clothes. The soldiers gambled to see who would get the robe said to be seamless. This prophesy is fulfilled when Jesus was actually dying on the Cross.

After they had nailed Him to the cross, the soldiers gambled for His clothes by throwing dice. Matthew 27:35.

Prophesied. Hundreds of things about Jesus…His birth and His death were foretold. Now read your Bible closely and see if you can understand what is foretold about His second coming. Did you know He will be coming back again—not as a baby, but as a victorious ruler—King of Kings.  

For at just the right time Christ will be revealed from heaven by the blessed and only almighty God, the King of all kings and Lord of all lords. 1 Timothy 6:15.

As John wrote in the book of Revelation:

Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for He judges fairly and wages a righteous war. His eyes were like flames of fire, and on His head were many crowns. A name was written on Him that no one understood except Himself. He wore a robe dipped in blood, and His title was the Word of God. The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed Him on white horses. From His mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress. On His robe at His thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords. Revelation 19:11-16.

King of Kings. Lord Jesus. He will reign victorious. Will you be worshipping Him?

Prayer ~Lord God—You have promised that You will reign victorious. We look forward to the day that You will come from Heaven on Your white horse. King of Kings—Lord of Lords. Worthy is the Lamb.
