They Pierced My Hands and Feet... 1,000 Years Before Crucifixion Existed

"My G-d, my G-d, why have You forsaken me?"

King David wrote Psalm 22 around 1,000 BCE.

Rome wouldn't invent crucifixion for another 600+ years.

Yet David wrote:

  • "They pierced my hands and my feet"
  • "They divide my garments and cast lots for my clothing"
  • "All my bones are out of joint"
  • "I am poured out like water"

These aren't vague symbols.

They're specific, medical descriptions of crucifixion: a form of execution that didn't exist yet.

Fast Forward to 33 CE

Yeshua hung on a Roman cross. His last words?

"My G-d, my G-d, why have You forsaken me?"

The opening line of Psalm 22.

Soldiers gambled for His clothes. His bones were dislocated. He was pierced.

Every. Single. Detail.

Coincidence? Or Prophecy?

Some say David was just writing about himself.

But David was never crucified. His hands and feet were never pierced. Soldiers never gambled for his robe.

So who was he writing about?

What if Psalm 22 wasn't a song of suffering, but a preview of redemption?

What if David saw, 1,000 years in advance, the moment Yeshua would take your place on the tree?
