Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Praise the Lord. Welcome to you what the Word says, family. And we are currently on our series, which is the passion 2025. And we have been looking at the historic events of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is the most important event in human history. And for us Christians, it is like, even for myself, it is one of the most, not one of them, in fact, the most important, the most important annual celebration event of the year. The most important annual event of the year is this Easter period year where we get to look at the Passion of Christ and we get to look at the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. And we go to the Scriptures and we look and we relive those historic events that gave to us what we now call the Gospel. I trust that you're being blessed by the episode on the Betrayal, part one and two, the trial also, which we did. And now we're going to get into the crucifixion. Glory to God. We've got a lot to get into, so I'm not going to waste any more time. We're going to get into it.
[00:01:06] So when we're looking at the crucifixion, there's some prophecies, there's some beautiful prophecies that I want to, that I want to share with you as well. From the law, from the Torah, and I'm going to look through some very beautiful and amazing prophecies from the prophets and also from the Psalms. Amazing and beautiful. The biggest, should I say the most important or the most, should I say the most vivid prophecies of the crucifixion of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We find them in the prophets and we also find them in the Psalms. Alright, so you have, when you're looking at the crucifixion from, from the perspective of the prophecies and from the perspective of the eyewitness accounts, you've got these two perspectives that are being presented to us. All right, so the Holy Spirit thought that he would give to us a presentation of what was happening not only before the eyes of those who were watching this happen, but also the Holy Spirit. God also wanted us to know from a different perspective, from the perspective of the Christ himself, from the perspective of Jesus himself. That's where you find in the Psalms. I think they're very amazing. Like two Messianic psalms that are, that you find in the Psalms and also the one in Isaiah, which is a very, very popular one, which also gives us, it doesn't give us the prophecy from Jesus perspective. He also gives Us a prophecy from the prophet's perspective, looking at what was actually happening. What was the crucifixion about?
[00:02:45] And then you have your accounts, eyewitness accounts from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, which actually give us now the eyewitness accounts of what happened on that day in the fulfillment of the prophecy of his crucifixion. So they're very, very beautiful, beautiful things that we're going to look into. But I'm going to start with one from the Law, and I'm going to start in Exodus, or maybe if we should start.
[00:03:08] No, we'll get there. We'll get to one of the one in the Torah. But for now, let's look at the one in Exodus, chapter 22. I'm going to read from verse five to seven. Now, you know, if you go to when before Jesus actually was arrested, what they went to was they were getting into the feast, a celebration of the feast of the Passover. That's why he sent his disciples to go and prepare so that they can. He can prepare for his disciples in the upper room, a place where they could actually celebrate the Passover. So Jesus also, according to the Scriptures, was our Passover lamb. And then we're going to look into that from the Torah.
[00:03:46] So he was crucified, you know, at the same time of the celebration of the feast of the Passover. Okay. Him being our Passover lamb. All right, so let's read in Exodus, chapter 22, I'm going to read from verse five to seven.
[00:04:01] Okay? And then he says from verse five, your lamb shall be without blemish. Glory to God. It's going to be without spot. It's going to be sinless. It's going to be without blemish. Okay? A male of the first year, you shall take it out from the sheep or from the goats, and you shall keep it up until the 14th day of the same month. And the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening, and they shall take of the blood and put it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses in which they shall eat it. So Jesus Christ now is our Passover lamb. Glory to God. And the prophecy is actually really revealed to us in John 1:29, where Jesus by the prophet John, by John the Baptist, is declared to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Now in verse 29, John 1, it says, the next day, John saw Jesus coming unto him and said, behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the World. How amazing is that? Glory to God. So Jesus Christ is the Passover lamb, and he was crucified during Passover.
[00:05:14] Glory to God. Hallelujah. To also fulfill that prophecy of him being our Passover lamb. That's why he's given the title or the name the Lamb of God. The scripture calls him the Lamb of God. So now let's go to John, chapter 19, and let's look at the accounts, the eyewitness account of John. I think today we might just focus on the eyewitness account of John and the eyewitness account of Mark, you know, if time serves us right, so that we don't, you know, make this too long so we can get through it, because there's a lot to get through. And so I'm going to read from John, chapter 19.
[00:05:46] Let's start with John.
[00:05:48] I'll read from verse one. Then Pilate therefore took Jesus and scourged him. So they had to punish him. They put him under some punishment. They.
[00:05:55] They lashed him, they beat him. And verse 2. And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns and put it on his head. And they put on him a purple robe and said, hail, King of the Jews. And they struck him. So this is. They led him out after.
[00:06:12] After the trial. So they let him out after the trial. Pilate has said, I'm washing my hands from this. And he said, I'm going to let the people decide what you're going to do with him. And, and Pilate being amazed at what the people had done and what the people were calling for, he gave it up to the people to decide. Glory to God. So we say that the people that tried the two classification of people that actually tried Jesus were the religious authority, the political authority, the Roman political authority, and also, if you would like to call it, democratic authority. All right? So he gave them the right to decide what should happen. So there. The democracy, you know, also the democracy of the people also led to the faith in Jesus being sentenced to die. Okay, so let's go, verse 4. Pilate therefore went forth again and said unto them, behold, I bring him forth to you, that you may know that I find no fault in him. Then came Jesus forth wearing the crown of thorns.
[00:07:13] Okay, so now he's coming from being lashed. The soldiers have put a crown of thorns on him and they're mocking him and they're slapping him and they're beating him up. And then they brought him forth again.
[00:07:24] All right, so now he's going through this punishment and the people are there. Okay, Then came Jesus forth wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, this is after he had been lashed, after he had been beaten up by those soldiers and they had created that crown of thorns on him. Then they brought him forth. Then he brought Jesus forth again before the people, okay?
[00:07:49] Then came Jesus forth wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said unto them, behold the man. Behold the man.
[00:07:55] Hallelujah. When the chief priests, therefore, and the officers saw him, they cried out, saying, crucify him. Crucify him. He's already been beaten, okay? He's already bleeding out. He has a crown of thorns on his head. And they're busy crying out, crucify him. Who is this?
[00:08:14] The chief priests and the officers saw him.
[00:08:17] They cried out, saying, crucify him. Crucify him. Pilate said unto them, you take him and crucify him, for I find no fault in him. Verse 7. The Jews answered him. The Jews answered him, we have a law, and by our law he ought to die because he made himself the Son of God. So now, this alarmed Pilate that, what are they? What do they want to crucify him. He named himself the Son of God.
[00:08:39] Verse 8. Listen to this. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, what saying that this could be Pilate thinking this. This guy, he claimed to be the Son of God. What does this mean?
[00:08:52] Okay, so when he heard this, when Pilate heard this, when Pilate therefore heard the saying, he was the more afraid.
[00:09:05] He was now becoming afraid of what he was now dealing with here and what he was being told to deal with.
[00:09:11] And went again into the judgment hall and said unto Jesus, now Jesus was now put back into the judgment hall and said unto Jesus, from where are you from? From where are you? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then said Pilate unto him, speak you not unto me?
[00:09:28] Know you not that I have power to crucify? He says, know you not that I have power to crucify youy and have power to release you? This is where now, Jesus like, hold up. Hold on now.
[00:09:41] Hold. Hold on. Before you get ahead of yourself, okay?
[00:09:45] Before you get a hold of yourself, says, know you not that I have power to crucify you and have power to release you? And Jesus answered, you could have no power at all against me, except it were given you from above.
[00:09:57] Therefore he that delivered me unto you has the Greater sin.
[00:10:01] Verse 12. And from there on, Pilate sought to releasing. But the Jews cried out, saying, if you let this man go, you are not Caesar's Friend, whosoever makes himself a king speaks against Caesar. So saying Jesus. Hey, Jesus's claim is a threat to Caesar. And if you become Jesus friend, then you're not fit to be the governor here. You're not fit to you become Caesar's enemy.
[00:10:25] So they were now also wanting to implicate Pilate with their false accusations.
[00:10:31] Verse 13. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the pavement. But in the Hebrew Gabbatha, verse 14. And it was preparation of the Passover. It was preparation of the Passover. And who did Pilate have in that, in that place called the pavement? He had God's Passover lamb, Jesus Christ. The Passover lamb. Aha.
[00:11:00] Verse 14. And it was the preparation of the Passover. And about the sixth hour, he said unto the Jews, behold your king. But they cried out, away with him. Away with him. Crucify him. Pilate said unto them, shall I crucify your king?
[00:11:16] The chief priests answered, we have no king but Caesar.
[00:11:21] Verse 16. Then he delivered him therefore unto them to be crucified. Pilate now delivered unto Jesus, unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away. They took Jesus and led him away.
[00:11:33] How wicked is that?
[00:11:35] And verse 17. And he bearing his cross, went forth into the place called the place of. Went forth into the place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha, where they crucified him.
[00:11:49] They crucified him and two others with him on either side. One Jesus in the midst.
[00:11:58] All right, one on either side and Jesus in their midst. And the writing was Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
[00:12:05] This title then read many of the Jews.
[00:12:08] For the place where Jesus was crucified was near to the city, just outside of the city.
[00:12:15] And it was written in Hebrew and in Greek and in Latin.
[00:12:19] Then said the chief priests, hi, these shepherds.
[00:12:27] Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, write not.
[00:12:31] Hey, they've already crucified him. He's now on the cross and they're not relenting.
[00:12:39] Then he says, write not the King of the Jews, but that he said, I am King of the Jews. That. Then Pilate answered, what I've written, I have written.
[00:12:48] What I've written, I've written. Don't write. Don't tell me what to do now.
[00:12:52] You need to accept what I've written.
[00:12:55] The King of the Jews, very, very critical now. When he was crucified, Pilate put the King of the Jews. Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.
[00:13:05] Hey. Hey.
[00:13:08] Okay, verse 23. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments and made four parts to every soldier apart, and also his coat.
[00:13:21] Now, the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. They said, therefore among themselves, let us not tear it into four, okay? But cast lots for it whose end it shall be.
[00:13:34] We've been splitting things, you know, four ways here, okay? Instead of us cutting it, having to cut. This is very expensive. It's beautiful. Let us cast lots and figure out who's going to be the one to take it.
[00:13:46] Did they cast lots for it? Whose it shall be that the Scripture might be fulfilled? Which said, they parted my garments among them, and for my clothing they did cast lots these things, therefore did the soldiers do. Now, that is in the.
[00:13:59] The Psalms, that is in the prophecy of the Psalmist. Okay, verse 25, we'll look at the prophecy, because the prophecy of the. The Messianic psalm is a long one. So I want. I'm going to now give it to you in one big sweep, all right?
[00:14:23] I don't want to give it to you in bits and pieces. I want to go through it like.
[00:14:27] I want to go through it all at once because of the nature of that Messianic prophecy, because it's so beautiful. It's so beautiful. So.
[00:14:36] So I'll read through the eyewitness account, and then I'll get through at a point in time where I will actually go through the Messianic psalm that is being fulfilled here, where he says, they parted my garments among them and for my clothing, they did cast lots these things. Therefore the soldiers did. Now, verse 25.
[00:14:57] Now there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother and his mother's sister Mary, the wife of Clopas and Mary Magdalene.
[00:15:06] When Jesus therefore saw his mother and the disciples standing by whom he loved, he said unto his mother, woman, who is the disciple who we love, that is John, So he's speaking of himself. Says, woman, behold your son. Then said he to the. To the disciple, behold your mother. And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
[00:15:25] Verse 28. After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished that the scripture may be fulfilled, said, I thirst. He said, I thirst.
[00:15:35] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with vinegar and put it upon his sop and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, it is finished. Glory to God. Jesus said, it is finished.
[00:15:53] And he bowed his head and gave up the ghost. He bowed his head and. And gave up the ghost. Okay, so now that's another prophecy. When they gave him the vinegar. That's another Messianic psalm. That's in Psalm chapter 69. Let's go there. Psalm, chapter 69.
[00:16:10] Psalm, chapter 69. I'm reading from verse 16.
[00:16:12] Hear me, oh Lord. Oh, my goodness. You need to go and read this. This is another Messianic psalm. But I can't read the whole one for you. Okay, so you can in your free time, go read the whole one from verse one. Going to take it from verse 16. Hear me, O Lord. Now this is a perspective of what was going on in the mind and in the heart of Jesus during this moment, when Jesus had therefore received the vinegar.
[00:16:40] When he had received the vinegar during that moment, when he had said to his mother, woman, behold your son. Then he said to the one whom he loved, who is John, John, behold your mother. And all these things, all these emotions are going on inside of him. And then this Messianic psalm now reveals to us what was going on in his heart, what was going on in his thoughts, in his mind. So they give us that perspective.
[00:17:09] How beautiful is that?
[00:17:11] Okay. Verse 16, Psalm 69. Hear me, O Lord, for your loving kindness is good. You have said your loving kindness. This is hesed, which in the Greek is agape, says, your loving kindness is good. Says, turn unto me according to the multitude of your tender mercies.
[00:17:30] Turn unto me. Jesus is going through all of this, and these are his prayers.
[00:17:39] These are his prayers. Why he's being crucified while he's on the cross. Why he's going through all this pain.
[00:17:46] Verse 17. And hide not your face from your servant, for I am in trouble.
[00:17:53] Hear me speedily, Jesus praises, for I am in trouble.
[00:17:57] Oh, my goodness. Hear me speedily. Verse 18. Draw near unto my soul and redeem it. Deliver me because of my enemies. Verse 19. You have known my reproach, says, you have known my reproach.
[00:18:11] His reproach. The reproach, the shame.
[00:18:16] The shame. The reproach of what he was going through. The reproach of what the people were doing to him. The reproach, he says, you have known my reproach and my shame and my dishonor. My adversaries are all before you.
[00:18:35] Verse 20. Reproach has broken, he says. The reproach says, it has broken my heart.
[00:18:45] Hey.
[00:18:46] Says the reproach has broken my heart.
[00:18:50] Oh, yeah. He says that we have not a high priest who was not touched with Every feeling of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted. Like as he went, he, Jesus went through everything. Whatever it is that you think you're going through, whatever pain that you think that you're going through in your heart, Jesus said that the reproach, your reproach, you know, my reproach says, that reproach has broken my heart.
[00:19:19] Those feelings, those emotions, that broken heart, that disappointment, that reproach, that shame that has, that came upon you, that you went through, that you're going through.
[00:19:32] Jesus is praying to God and saying, this reproach is so great, it has broken my heart.
[00:19:41] It is so great. This dishonor, this shame, this shame. This is the Son of God. This is the Son of God on the cross.
[00:19:52] Hi.
[00:19:55] And he's saying, the shame and the dishonor has broken my heart.
[00:20:00] The embarrassment after he had lived such a glorious life.
[00:20:07] Now this is his fate.
[00:20:09] That dishonor, the shame, the shame. And they were now mocking him.
[00:20:15] You know, you said this. You said you could, you are the Son of God. Why don't you deliver yourself? You said that you were a prophet. You did all these mighty miracles. The shame from that living that glorious life where the Bible says his fame spread abroad. As he began his ministry, he became famous. You saw, even Herod. Herod was excited. Herod was excited when he heard that Jesus, when he first laid his eyes on Jesus, because his fame had spread abroad, he had become so well known in the land.
[00:20:52] And now this is where he was. This is where he found himself on the cross, full of shame and dishonor and reproach. People spitting on him from, from, from, from. From being so famous in the land and being celebrated in the land. Just a week before, they were hailing him in as he went into the city of Jerusalem on the donkey hosanna.
[00:21:23] And they were crying out, shouting out praises.
[00:21:27] Just a week, just a week from that moment of praise and celebration where people were clapping for him, people were cheering him on, and people were happy and glad.
[00:21:39] And just a few days later, he's on the cross and this is his prayer.
[00:21:47] Says, you have known my reproach and my shame and my dishonor, says, my adversaries are all before you.
[00:21:55] Says, reproach has broken my heart, and I'm full of heaviness.
[00:22:00] And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none. It says all his disciples forsook him and fled.
[00:22:09] When they saw what was now happening to him, says all of his disciples, they forsook him.
[00:22:15] They forsook him and fled.
[00:22:19] And it says, and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none. And for comforters, but I found none.
[00:22:28] What are you going through?
[00:22:29] What are you going through?
[00:22:32] Jesus knows what you're going through. He was touched with the feelings of your infirmities. He was touched with the feelings of your weakness. He was touched. He was also touched with the feeling of that reproach, of that shame, of that dishonour that you think, nobody has gone through this. Nobody knows how I feel. Nobody knows what this is about.
[00:22:50] Look at Jesus.
[00:22:52] Look at Jesus says, but there was none. Somebody to have empathy says, I look for somebody to have empathy on me. And the thing that I'm going through and these things that I'm going through says, but I found none.
[00:23:06] I looked for comforters, somebody to comfort me says, but I found none.
[00:23:10] Says, they gave me also gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
[00:23:19] They gave me vinegar to drink.
[00:23:22] That is the prophecy when we read from John 19:29.
[00:23:30] Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with vinegar and put it on upon hyssop and put it to his mouth. And here he says, they gave me also gall for my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
[00:23:50] Wow, what a perspective. What a perspective of the crucifixion. Psalm 69. Go and read it. Go and read it so that you can. You can have the perspective of everything that Jesus Christ was going through in his heart, in his mind, what he was praying, what he was saying to God.
[00:24:06] Oh, thank you, Holy Spirit.
[00:24:08] Okay, so another prophecy from the Lord, from the Torah is Abraham and Isaac, Abraham and Isaac being a foreshadow, a foreshadow of God and his son. So that also gives us that whole account of Abraham and Isaac. You know, I'll read From Hebrews, chapter 11, from verse 17 to 19, it says, by faith, Abraham, when he was tested, he offered up Isaac. Abraham offered up Isaac, Abraham offered up Isaac.
[00:24:42] And he that had received the promise offered up his only begotten son, of whom it was said that in Isaac shall your descendants be called accounting. That God was able to raise him up even from the dead, from which also he received him in a figure. All right, so that whole account and that whole account of Abraham and Isaac, and then now God supplying and bringing, providing a lamb for himself, like what Abraham says, God shall supply a lamb.
[00:25:18] When Isaac asked him, you know, where shall we get the offering from? And then, you know, he called that place Jehovah Jireh, the Lord Jehovah shall see. Jehovah sees. Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah sees. Glory to God. Oh, hallelujah. So that's also another prophecy regarding God and him providing his Son to die for the sin of the whole world. Glory to God. Okay, and then another prophecy from the Torah that we can look at is in Numbers, chapter 21. Numbers chapter 21, from verse 6 to 9.
[00:25:54] Remember when Jesus said that just like the serpent, just like Moses lifted up the serpent, so shall the Son of Man be lifted up.
[00:26:01] Hahaha. Now this is the. He was referring to this prophecy. Glory to God. And how that prophecy was going to be fulfilled with his crucifixion. So here's another prophecy from the law numbers chapter 21. I'm going to read from verse six to nine. It says, and the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. And many people of Israel died.
[00:26:21] Therefore the people came to Moses and said, we have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray unto the Lord that he take away the serpents from us. Pray unto the Lord that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people, verse 8. And the Lord said unto Moses, make you a fiery serpent and set it upon a pole. A fiery serpent. Make a fiery serpent and set it upon a pole. And it shall come to pass that everyone that is bitten when he looks upon it. Oh my goodness, what a prophecy says when he looks upon it shall live. He says, put the fiery serpent. Put the fiery serpent on the pole. What was that? Remember 2nd Corinthians 5:21. For when Jesus was hanging on that cross, the Bible reveals to us that he was made sin.
[00:27:12] He was made sin on that cross. Therefore he had made him to be seen. He had made him. He made Jesus to be sin.
[00:27:22] Imagine when God makes something that means that God put all the sin of Jesus on him. I'll show you something in the. In Isaiah's prophecy of the crucifixion, I'll show you some detail that will reveal to you what happened to Jesus when he was on the cross, when God made him to be sin.
[00:27:40] Okay, so a lot of people talk about how his body was injured. Was injured from the lashing. All right? But there's another.
[00:27:49] There's another injury. There's another deformity that came upon the body of Jesus that was not from the. That was not from the lashing of the beating of the soldiers. Okay? So that beating from the Soldiers with those whips that had. That had hooks on them that were ripping off his skin. Those were terrible. But there's another. There's an.
[00:28:13] Ah.
[00:28:15] Okay, we'll go through it In. In the prophecy of Isaiah. Glory to God. And you see it so that you can show you when. When God made. When the. When the sin of the whole world came upon Jesus, what happened to his body. Not what the soldiers did. That's another one. But there's something else that happened to him, to his body.
[00:28:34] There's something else that happened to him when he was on that cross, when God made him to be sin.
[00:28:47] His body was so dis. It was disfigured when the sin of the whole world came upon him.
[00:28:57] Okay, let's finish this one.
[00:29:02] He says, and Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said unto Moses, make you a fiery serpent and set it upon a pole. And it shall come to pass that everyone that is bitten, when he looks upon it, he shall live. So Jesus is now that brazen serpent, that serpent that is on the pole. Glory to God. That's a prophecy, all right. That's a Messianic prophecy. And Moses made the serpent of bronze and put it upon a pole. And it came to pass. It came to pass that if a serpent had bitten any man when he beheld the serpent of bronze, he lived. Hallelujah. He lived. Now we come on to into the New Testament. And the apostle Paul says, looking unto Jesus. Oh, glory to God, says, looking unto Jesus, the author and perfecter and finisher of our faith. Just look unto Jesus as we behold the glory of God is in the mirror.
[00:29:53] Oh, goodness.
[00:29:55] Okay, let's go back to. Let's finish John's account of the crucifixion. I'm reading from verse 31. The Jews, therefore, because it was preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the Sabbath day. For the Sabbath day was a high day, besought Pilate and that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.
[00:30:15] Then came the soldiers and broke the legs of the first. That's the one thief, all right, of the first and of the other who was crucified with Jesus. With him. Verse 33. And they came to Jesus and saw that he was dead already.
[00:30:29] They saw that he was dead already.
[00:30:32] The others were still alive, but Jesus was dead already.
[00:30:37] Okay, they saw that he was dead already.
[00:30:40] They broke not his legs, but one of the soldiers. That's another prophecy. That's another fulfillment of prophecy. Okay, in Exodus, chapter 12, verse 46, we'll go through it. Now, let's just finish this one. One of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side.
[00:30:55] Pierced his side. That's another prophecy as well from Zechariah. Chapter. Chapter zechariah. It's chapter 12 from verse 10.
[00:31:03] Okay, so there are two prophecies here happening here. Okay, so the one not breaking his legs and the other one piercing his side. Okay, let's finish. It says, but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side and immediately came there out blood and water. That is very significant. Blood and water came out of his side.
[00:31:19] Blood and water came out of his side. What does that mean? Okay, let's.
[00:31:23] Hopefully we'll get some time to go through those details and I can share that with you what that that meant.
[00:31:31] Okay.
[00:31:33] Says they came out from his side. Blood and water.
[00:31:37] They came out from his side. Blood and water.
[00:31:41] Ah.
[00:31:42] Okay, let's finish.
[00:31:44] We've got so much to go through. So if I, if I take you down this way, we might take some time, but one of these days I will have an opportunity to share with you what that is all about. It's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing because, you know, when you go also to John, first John, he makes reference of this thing as well. Okay, so it's not the first time that John makes reference. He also mentions, it says that the three that bear witness in heaven says the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And it says there are three that bear witness in the earth. Right? He says, what?
[00:32:16] It's the Son, the Word, the water and the blood.
[00:32:24] What does it mean? It bears witness. Okay, all right, if I have time, later on, I'll come back to it and explain it to you because I have so much to go through with you here.
[00:32:36] Okay? And he that saw Mark, this one, remember this one, remember this part of the scripture. And he that saw it bears record. And his record is true. And he knows that. And he knows that. He says the truth that you might believe.
[00:32:50] For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled.
[00:32:55] A bone of him shall not be broken. And again, another scripture says, they shall look on him whom they pierced. Okay, let's look at that. Exodus 12:46.
[00:33:05] All right, that is from the Law. Okay, That's a prophecy from the law. And then the second one is from the prophets, the prophet Zechariah. Okay, let's look at the one from the Law. It says, in one house shall it be eaten. In one house shall it be eaten. Now what is he talking about here? The Passover. Remember when we opened up with the Passover lamb? So now when the children of Israel were being delivered from Egypt, they were being saved by God from Egypt.
[00:33:31] They had to slaughter that lamb, one for each house, all right? And that was prophetic for what Jesus would come and do. Jesus coming to become our Passover lamb. To become the Passover lamb, okay? So now here, now in verse 46, he says, in one house, okay? So remember verse 12, when you start from verse one, when you read it. And now God gives instruction about the lamb that every house of the children of Israel is supposed to slaughter. And they're supposed to take the blood and put it on the. On their doorposts, okay?
[00:34:05] That's the Passover lamb.
[00:34:07] Now in verse 46, he says, in one house shall it be eaten. You shall not carry forth any of the flesh outside of the house. Says, neither shall you break a bone of it.
[00:34:18] Neither shall you break a bone of it.
[00:34:22] So now Jesus is on the cross and none of his bones were broken. So this is the one from the Torah.
[00:34:28] This is a prophecy from the Torah. Like what he said, those things that were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the Psalms concerning me, these are things that he was talking about, okay? And then he said, verse 37, John 19:37 says, and again, another scripture says, they shall look on him whom they pierced. Now that's in Zechariah, chapter 12. That's a prophet, right?
[00:34:49] Prophet. Zechariah from 12:10 says, and I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace says, I will pour upon them the Spirit of grace and of supplications. And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, says, and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced.
[00:35:14] And they shall mourn for him as one mourns for his only Son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first born. Ay.
[00:35:27] Oh. Truly this man was the Son of God. Truly Jesus Christ was the Son of God.
[00:35:34] Okay, let's move on. Moving on along. Moving along.
[00:35:39] Let's look at Mark's account. Glory to God. Let's look at Mark's account, and then we'll look at the other Messianic psalm and we'll look at the other Messianic prophecy from Isaiah. Okay, I'm gonna read from verse 12, Mark's account of the crucifixion, okay? And Pilate answered and said again unto them, now this is still like just when they're about to now make the decision to.
[00:36:09] To take him and crucify him.
[00:36:12] And Pilate answered and said again unto them, now this is the multitude, the chief priests, the Sadducees, the Pharisees, and the elders of the people, okay?
[00:36:23] Says, what will you then that I should do unto him whom you call King of the Jews? And they cried out again, crucify him. Then Pilate said unto them, why, what evil has he done? And they cried out more exceedingly, crucify him.
[00:36:40] And so Pilate, willing to satisfy the people, released Barabbas unto them and delivered Jesus when he had scourged him to be crucified.
[00:36:50] He delivered Jesus when he had sent him to be beaten.
[00:36:55] And then he gave him to them to be crucified. And the soldiers led him away into the hall called Praetorium.
[00:37:04] And they called together the whole band. And they clothed him with purple and planted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head and began to salute him. Hail, King of the Jews. Hail, King of the Jews. And they struck him on the head with a reed. They struck him with a reed. That's another prophecy from Zechariah.
[00:37:27] That's another prophecy from Zechariah, okay? And they struck him on the head with the reed and did spit upon him and bowing their knees. You remember, the other prophecy says they struck him with their hands, okay? Now this one is very specific because they struck him with. They struck him with a rod.
[00:37:46] They struck him across the face with the rod. That's another prophecy from the prophets being fulfilled, okay? And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple from him and put his own clothes on him and led him out to crucify him.
[00:38:02] And they compelled one Simon, a Cyrenian, who passed by, coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to bear his cross.
[00:38:14] To bear his cross.
[00:38:16] And they brought him unto the place Golgotha, which is being interpreted, the place of the skull.
[00:38:22] And they gave him to drink wine mingled with myrrh, but he received it not. And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots for them what every man should take.
[00:38:36] They've passed. We're going to look at the, you know, Messianic Psalm that speaks of this, which is now being fulfilled here in Mark's account, okay? Verse 25. And it was the third hour, and they crucified him. It was the third hour, and they crucified him. And the superscription of his accusation was written. King of the Jews. King of the Jews. John said, Jesus of Nazareth, king of the Jews, says, and with him they crucified two thieves, the one on his right hand and the other on his left.
[00:39:10] And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, he was numbered with the transgressors. He was numbered with the transgressors.
[00:39:17] All right, that's the Isaiah, the prophecy from Isaiah. We'll read it shortly.
[00:39:25] Okay. Being fulfilled and he was numbered with the transgressors. And they that passed by derated him, wagging their heads and saying, ah, you that destroyed the temple and built it in three days, save yourself and come down from that cross. Likewise, also the chief priests mocking, said amongst themselves with the scribes, he saved others himself. He cannot say he saved others, so they are mocking him for all the good works which he did when he healed people, so they were mocking him. How evil had these people become?
[00:39:59] Says, he saved others himself. He cannot save.
[00:40:04] Says, let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross.
[00:40:08] They were mocking him that we may see and believe.
[00:40:12] And they that were crucified with him reviled him.
[00:40:17] Okay, so I think with that we can get into Isaiah's prophecy of the crucifixion. Isaiah's prophecy of the crucifixion.
[00:40:28] Okay, I'll start From Isaiah, chapter 52 from verse 13 to 15 is, Behold, my servant shall deal prudently. He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high.
[00:40:41] As many were astonished at you, says, as many as were astonished at you.
[00:40:47] So his appearance was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men. His visage, his appearance was so marred more than the sons of men.
[00:41:01] What happened? What made it like that? It was not the lashing.
[00:41:06] It was not the lashing.
[00:41:07] It was the sin. It was. Okay, we see it now when we go. When we move over From Isaiah, chapter 52, going into 50:53, right, we'll see what made his visage, his appearance be so mad. Says, like, there is no human being, there's no body of a human being that became so disfigured.
[00:41:31] Okay?
[00:41:34] Says, as many were astonished at you while they were looking at him on the cross, saying, save yourself, you Christ, you King of the Jews. You saved others, you delivered others, but you can't deliver yourself. And they're looking at him, and there's some are spitting, they're mocking him, which was a fulfillment of this prophecy here in Isaiah, chapter 52 says, so his appearance was so marred, he was so disfigured.
[00:42:04] It says, more than any man. So if the Bible says that it's more than any man. It means that there is nobody's broke body. There's nobody's body that had been so disfigured before. Says it's more than any man.
[00:42:18] The way the body of Jesus was so disfigured says it is more than any man. Any man. If you think you've ever seen a disfigured body, the Bible is telling you that the body of Jesus was so disfigured, you could not. You couldn't tell whether it was a human being or not.
[00:42:37] Why? What happened? We'll read it in Isaiah, chapter 53, why that happened.
[00:42:42] Okay, let's continue to read.
[00:42:46] It says, saw his appearance was so marred more than any man. His appearance. It was so marred. This was not. He was now on the cross.
[00:43:00] He was on the cross.
[00:43:03] Not when he was. When he had been beaten by the soldiers.
[00:43:10] So the prophecy was not talking about him being beaten.
[00:43:18] The prophecy here is referring to him now on the cross.
[00:43:24] Something else happened to his appearance while he was on the cross. So what happened to his appearance while he was on the cross? I'll show you.
[00:43:32] The scripture will tell us what happened.
[00:43:35] Okay. And then it says, and his form more than the sons of men. Men. His form. It was. His form was so disfigured. Says more than the sons of men. So there's nobody's form that was ever disfigured like the form of Jesus. Nobody's body was ever disfigured like the body of Jesus.
[00:43:59] Verse 15 says, so shall he startle many nations.
[00:44:06] Says the kings shall shut their mouths at him for that which had not been told them, shall they see.
[00:44:14] And that which they had not heard shall they consider.
[00:44:18] Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So what happened to the. To. To the. To the appearance of Jesus? What happened to the. This is not the lashing.
[00:44:31] The lashing. Jesus was not the first person to be lashed.
[00:44:36] Other criminals were lashed also.
[00:44:39] Other criminals were lashed also.
[00:44:42] So this is not referring to the lashing, because if other criminals were lashed also, maybe other criminals were even lashed even worse. More off got more lashings than what Jesus got.
[00:44:55] So the prophecy of how his appearance became so disfigured and so marred more than the sons of men, more than any man. It's talking about something else that happened to him while he was on the cross.
[00:45:12] What was that?
[00:45:14] So the sin of the whole world. The sin of the whole world. This is talking about how the sin of the whole world was truly put on him.
[00:45:24] God put the sin of the whole world on him.
[00:45:28] That is what disfigured his body.
[00:45:31] That is. That is what broke his body.
[00:45:34] His body was broken not by the lashes of the Roman soldiers.
[00:45:40] His body was broken by the sicknesses and the sins and the disease and the infirmities that God put on him.
[00:45:55] The infirm, the sicknesses, the diseases. That's why there is no Christian that should allow any sickness or any disease or any infirmity or any disability to remain. You should refuse it because the Bible here says that Jesus. God put it on Jesus. Let's read it. Let's go to Isaiah, chapter 53. I'll read from verse one.
[00:46:15] So that is what happened to the body of Jesus while he was on the cross.
[00:46:18] So I love how beautifully they depict that. It was, you know, it was the Roman soldiers that lashed him so that his body could not. That is. That was part of it, okay? But that is not what caused his body to be like what this prophecy is saying, okay? Something else made his body like that.
[00:46:41] That is when God put the sin of the whole world on Jesus, when he put the sin of the whole world on Jesus, all the sickness, all the infirmities, all the grief, all the pain, all the pain of the whole world was put on Jesus. God put it on him.
[00:47:10] God put it on him, Says, for he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us. It was not the lashing that disfigured his body. God made him to be sin who knew no sin to be sin. He put the sin of the whole world on him. And that's pain and the infirmities and the sicknesses and the grief and the sorrows and the brokenness of humanity, all of it. For all mankind was put on Jesus. And it broke his body.
[00:47:41] It disfigured his body.
[00:47:43] It mangled his body. Says more than any man. It disfigured his body. He says, more than the sons of men.
[00:47:52] Nobody's body had ever been so disfigured because there's nobody's body that is ever had the sin of the whole world on it. Only the body of Jesus.
[00:48:04] Okay, let's see what the prophecy says.
[00:48:07] Isaiah, chapter 53. So you continue from Isaiah, chapter 52, verse 13 to 15. You go into verse one. And then the prophecy continues, speaking about Jesus.
[00:48:18] Says, who has believed our report and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? Says, for he shall grow up before the Lord. You shall grow up before him as a tender plant and as the root out of the dry ground. He has no stately form, no splendor. When we shall see Him. There is no beauty that we should desire him. Okay? There is no beauty that we should desire him. He's talking about Jesus. This is going to look as ordinary, as ordinary and as natural as any person says when we look at Him. There is nothing that is going to be when we see him. When he was walking the streets of Jerusalem, they looked upon him and he didn't look any different from the guy next door.
[00:48:59] Like they said, is this not Mary's son, like the carpenter's son?
[00:49:05] All right, okay. Verse 3 says, he is despised and rejected of man, a man of sorrows. This is the prophecy of his crucifixion. The prophecy. This is a messianic prophecy from the prophet Isaiah.
[00:49:21] This is the biggest one.
[00:49:24] This is the most detailed one. It is self explanatory, okay? You do not need any special impartation to know what is going on here and what is being spoken of here.
[00:49:38] This is a description of all the things that happened to Jesus to prove that Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
[00:49:46] You cannot get confused of this unless you are up here.
[00:49:52] You are just.
[00:49:54] Or unless God just doesn't want you to know.
[00:49:59] Okay?
[00:50:00] Says he is despite and rejected of many. It doesn't get clearer than this.
[00:50:05] It doesn't get clearer than this.
[00:50:09] It does not get clearer than this.
[00:50:14] It's.
[00:50:16] It's. God made it so.
[00:50:20] He made this information so plain and so clear so that nobody can have an excuse to say it was too complicated. There's nothing complicated about this.
[00:50:35] Anyone can really. Anyone who wants to know, who actually desires to know, can know what is going on and can accept the testimony of what these ancient, these old, these manuscripts say about Jesus Christ.
[00:51:02] Okay, let's rush. Rush says he's despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from him.
[00:51:12] All right? When he was hanging on the cross, they were walking past him and they were, he says, I looked for somebody who could empathize with me, he says, but I found none. Everybody was running away from him, says, when we hid it, as it were, our faces from him since he was despised and we esteemed him when he esteemed him not.
[00:51:39] Verse 4. Now this is what happened to his body.
[00:51:42] Verse 4 says, surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows when. When he was on the cross.
[00:51:57] Says, yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted, but he was wounded for our transgressions. When he was on the cross, he was wounded with our sin, he was wounded with our infirmities, he was wounded. With our sicknesses, he was wounded. With our pain, he was wounded with. With our sorrows he was wounded. And his body became so disfigured more than the sons of men, says, his appearance became so marred more than any man.
[00:52:30] This is why his body became like that.
[00:52:33] That is the context of the prophecy. So it is not the lashings of the soldiers that wounded his body, Those wounded his body, yes, but what really, what disfigured his body was when God put the iniquity of us all upon him, the sin of the whole world was put on him.
[00:52:57] Our sorrows, our griefs, our pains.
[00:53:02] When God put it on him.
[00:53:06] Okay, let's finish it.
[00:53:08] Said he was bruised. He was bruised. It was the bruising for our iniquities that disfigured his body, not the lashing of the soldiers.
[00:53:18] Says the chastisement of our peace was upon him, says, and with his stripes we are healed.
[00:53:24] With his stripes we are healed.
[00:53:27] Verse 6. All we, like sheep, have gone astray. We have turned everyone to his own way, and the Lord has laid on him.
[00:53:34] This is what disfigured his body, says the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. Us all. Oh, my goodness.
[00:53:49] No wonder his visage, his appearance became so marred more than the sons of men. No matter his body was so disfigured more than any man because he put the iniquity of us all on him.
[00:54:01] For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we today can become the righteousness of God in him.
[00:54:10] That is why every child of God has to be bold about the righteousness of God that is in them.
[00:54:18] Jesus suffered for it.
[00:54:21] Jesus went through pains that no man has ever gone through.
[00:54:25] Jesus body, his visage, his appearance. He became so much, became so disfigured more than Jesus did it for you.
[00:54:33] So that you could be made the righteousness of God in him.
[00:54:42] So you never, never ever allow the devil to lie to you. Never ever allow the devil to condemn you. Never ever allow condemnation. Hallelujah. From anyone. Hallelujah. For anything.
[00:54:57] Because of what Jesus went through for you. Because of what Jesus went through for you. You should never accept, says, there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.
[00:55:11] Aye, says, for I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God. You see why, you understand now why the apostle Paul was saying those things. When you understand what happened to Jesus when he was on the cross.
[00:55:29] It's the gospel of Christ.
[00:55:32] Ah says it is the power of God.
[00:55:36] That's why the gospel message is the power of God unto some. It says to everyone that believes, says, who shall believe? Our report says to everyone that please to the Jew first and also to the Greek says for therein. For in it says, the righteousness of God is revealed. Why? Because he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might be made when he made him to be sin for us.
[00:56:01] He bore our griefs, he carried our sorrows. The Lord laid upon him the iniquity of us all. And the Bible says his visage, his appearance was more marred than the sons of men.
[00:56:16] Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And his body was so broken more than any man.
[00:56:23] So that's why I boldly declare that I'm the righteousness of God in Christ. Jesus says he laid upon him the iniquity of us all. And his body, his body was so disfigured so that I can stand, so that I can have forever. Hallelujah, forever. Now he has sanctified. He has set me apart so that I can now go free. I believe in Jesus Christ. And from then on the remission of sins. The remission of sins says repentance. And the remission of sins might be preached to all men.
[00:57:01] Says the Lord has laid upon him the iniquity of us all. The Lord is laid upon Jesus. The Lord laid upon Jesus the iniquity of us all.
[00:57:12] That is what the crucifixion is about.
[00:57:14] God laying on Jesus our iniquities while he was on the cross.
[00:57:23] It is not the nails that killed him.
[00:57:26] It is not the lashing that killed him, says the soul that sinneth shall die.
[00:57:34] So now when God made him who knew no sin, he made God made him to be sin.
[00:57:42] Do you know, when God makes something, it becomes it. So when the Bible says that God made him to be sin, who knew no sin, that means that the sin he made him sin.
[00:57:55] He made Jesus to become sin.
[00:58:00] And he laid on him the iniquity of us all. And he put on him our sorrows, our griefs, our pains.
[00:58:13] And he was wound and that wounded him and it. And it disfigured his body.
[00:58:20] So that I.
[00:58:23] This is what the crucifixion is about. This is what Easter is about. This is what Easter is about.
[00:58:35] Oh, glory to God.
[00:58:38] Ah says his visage was so marred than any man, more than the sons of man.
[00:58:47] Why, Pilate was shocked and said, he's dead.
[00:58:58] He said, no, go and check again. He said, When? When?
[00:59:02] When Joseph of. Of Arimathea came and said, I've come to collect the body.
[00:59:06] He's dead already, he said. He said, no, no, no, this is not possible. What is dead already? What killed him?
[00:59:21] He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth. He opened up his mouth.
[00:59:27] We saw that, we read about that, how that was fulfilled in the betrayal, when they were mocking him and accusing him, and when they brought false witnesses to him. And he opened not his mouth. Says he's brought as a lamb to the slaughter. There you have it, the lamb of God, the Passover lamb.
[00:59:44] He's brought as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before its shearer is dumb. So he opened not his mouth. It cannot get more clearer than this.
[00:59:57] He was taken from prison and from judgment. He was taken from prison and from judgment.
[01:00:02] We're speaking about the trial yesterday. This is what he's talking about.
[01:00:07] And who shall declare his generation says, for he was cut off out of the land of the living. He was cut off out of the land of the living.
[01:00:16] For the transgression of my people was he stricken? For the transgression of my people was he stricken? This is what broke his. This is what disfigured his body and says, and he made his grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death. With the rich in his death, the chief priests, the scribes, the Pharisees, and the elders of the people.
[01:00:44] Because he had no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. He was sinless.
[01:00:51] He had no violence, and neither was any deceit.
[01:00:53] He was a righteous man.
[01:00:55] He was a righteous man. Remember, Pilate's wife said that. No, this have nothing to do with this righteous man, says verse 10. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him.
[01:01:08] Why? Because of me.
[01:01:10] It proves it pleased the Lord to bruise him.
[01:01:14] He was put to grief.
[01:01:18] He was put to grief.
[01:01:20] Says, when you shall make his soul, when you shall make his soul, you shall make his soul an offering for sin.
[01:01:29] When you shall make his soul an offering for sin. For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us. When you shall make his soul an offering for sin. When God put sin on Jesus, his body became mangled and disfigured more than any man.
[01:01:49] His appearance became marred more than the sons of men not from the lashing, but when he shall make his soul an offering for sin.
[01:02:06] That is what disfigured the body of Jesus.
[01:02:09] So that I. So that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
[01:02:17] So your righteousness, your guiltlessness, your sinlessness, your blamelessness was paid for.
[01:02:27] You were not given it to it for free.
[01:02:30] Somebody paid for it. So you must be bold about it. You must be bold about it even when your heart condemns you. Even when you make a mistake and your heart condemns you. He says God is greater than your heart. God is bigger than your heart. Why?
[01:02:50] Because he made the soul of Jesus a sinless man in offering for sin.
[01:02:56] So you must be bold in the righteousness of God that has been given to you in Christ Jesus.
[01:03:05] Never let the devil rob you, never let anybody rob you of it because Jesus paid for it. Jesus paid for it. He suffered for it.
[01:03:21] Nobody can cheat nothing, no devil can cheat me out of my righteousness, of my right standing in God. Hahahaha.
[01:03:30] No, I'll never allow it.
[01:03:32] I'll never allow it because of what Jesus. He paid for it. It was paid for.
[01:03:40] Jesus paid for me so that I could become the righteousness of God. Jesus paid for me.
[01:03:50] Jesus paid for me on the cross.
[01:03:53] Jesus paid for me.
[01:03:55] This is what the gospel is about. Jesus paid for me.
[01:04:01] Ah, can we finish this one? Okay, let's finish Mark's account. Let's see.
[01:04:10] All right, let's finish this prophecy says, yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him. It pleased the Lord to bruise him, says he has put him to grief. When you shall make his soul an offering for sin. He shall see his offerings spring. He shall prolong his days and the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. He shall see the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied. He shall see the travail of his soul and God shall be satisfied with his offering, with his sacrifice, with his sacrifice. God shall be satisfied. It says, by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many.
[01:04:43] Oh, it's by his knowledge shall my righteous services justify many, says being justified, being justified by faith. We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ says he shall justify many for he shall bear. He shall bear their iniquities.
[01:05:01] He shall bear their iniquities. Jesus bore my iniquity. Jesus bore my iniquity in his own body and his body got disfigured for my sake. For my sake.
[01:05:12] I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Nobody can cheat me out of this. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Ah, Jesus died for me. Jesus suffered for me. He suffered in my place. He took my sin in his own body. He took my sin in his own body. Oh, glory to God.
[01:05:32] Jesus took my sin in his own body.
[01:05:35] He says he shall justify many.
[01:05:38] Oh. Are you justified in Christ?
[01:05:42] I'm justified. I'm justified.
[01:05:44] Hey. No devil can come and rob me of my justification. No devil can come and accuse me, the Lord's righteous servants. He shall justify many. He justified me, therefore I am not guilty. I am not guilty.
[01:06:01] I'm justified in Christ.
[01:06:03] Hey. Hey.
[01:06:05] Says he shall justify many.
[01:06:07] Oh, my goodness.
[01:06:11] I'm justified.
[01:06:13] Not guilty.
[01:06:15] Not guilty. Not guilty. Oh, thank you, Lord Jesus.
[01:06:19] Hey, this is what Easter is about.
[01:06:22] Oh, glory to God.
[01:06:25] Aye. Thank you, Lord Jesus.
[01:06:29] Oh.
[01:06:36] Ah. Says for he shall bear their iniquities.
[01:06:39] Oh.
[01:06:42] Verse 12. Let's finish. It says, therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he has poured out his soul unto death.
[01:06:52] He poured out his soul unto death.
[01:06:55] And he was numbered with the transgressors.
[01:06:58] He was numbered with the transgressors. What is he talking about? He's talking about your Barabbas and the, and the thieves that he was crucified with. That was the fulfillment of that prophecy, remember?
[01:07:10] And he bore the sin of many and made intercession for the transgressors.
[01:07:18] That's why I told you that this is the biggest prophecy of Jesus's crucifixion.
[01:07:25] Ah, this is so beautiful.
[01:07:27] You know, I, I, I could just. This, ah.
[01:07:33] This is what Easter is about.
[01:07:35] This is what the gospel of Jesus Christ is about. This is the gospel.
[01:07:39] Isaiah preached the gospel.
[01:07:42] Hmm.
[01:07:44] Okay, let's finish Mark's account. And when the sixth hour has come, there was darkness. I'm reading from verse 33 to 34.
[01:07:51] There was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour and the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice saying, eloi, eloi lamasa bachdani, which is being interpreted by God. My God, why have you forsaken me?
[01:08:06] That is the psalmist's prophecy, the Messianic Psalm, Psalm 22. Let's go through it quickly. Now. This is giving us. Now, Isaiah was giving us a prophecy of the gospel, of what Jesus is going to accomplish with his death and how he shall justify how God shall put the sin of the whole world on him, on how his body is going to be disfigured and marred more than the sons of man. Because God has put our sin and our iniquity, our griefs, our sorrows, our pains on his body.
[01:08:36] He shall make his soul an offering for sin. You shall Put sin on Jesus's soul, on his spirit, and it's going to cause a reaction on his body to disfigure it.
[01:08:48] Sickness, disease, everything, all the sick, any disease, any brokenness that you can think of, the body of Jesus went through apart from his bones.
[01:09:04] Okay, now you have that. That's the perspective of the prophet, the prophet Isaiah. Now let's look at the perspective of the psalmist, this Messianic psalm that shows us another perspective, another, like remember Psalm 69. That's one that showed us what was happening inside the heart and the mind of Jesus. Now there's this one now that is fulfilled. You know, when he says, elohe elo el amasa baktanai, which isn't being interpreted. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Then you go to Psalm 22. I'll read from verse one. It says to the chief musician, okay, A psalm of David. Then starts off by saying, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from me, from helping me, and from the words of my groaning. Verse two. Oh, my God, I cry in the daytime. But you hear not what has happened.
[01:09:53] What has happened?
[01:09:55] God has turned his back on Jesus.
[01:09:57] Why? Because Jesus now had the iniquity and the sin of the whole world.
[01:10:05] God had now made Jesus to be sin for us all. The sin and the iniquity. He had made his soul an offering for sin.
[01:10:13] And he was bearing the iniquity of us all, our griefs, our pain, our sorrows. And his body had become disfigured. And then he now cries out to God and says, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
[01:10:28] All the sin and the iniquity and the sickness and the brokenness of mankind and the pains and the griefs, the iniquities were now on him.
[01:10:39] That is the perspective that Isaiah gives us from the outside. And how his body outwardly was now being disfigured more than the sons of men and marred more than any man. He's given us the outward appearance of what happened to Jesus body while he was on the cross.
[01:10:55] And now this messianic psalm now shows us what was happening inside of him.
[01:11:02] And then he cried out, my God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?
[01:11:09] And then he begins to say, oh, my God, I cry in the daytime, but you hear not why? Because he has been made, sin says, and in the night season.
[01:11:18] And I am not silent, but you are holy. Oh you that inhabit the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in Youn they trusted, and you'd did deliver them. They cried unto youo and were delivered. They trusted in youn and were not disappointed. But I am a worm and no man, a reproach of men and despised of the people.
[01:11:42] All that see me, they laughed me to scorn. Remember the prophecies when all the people were looking at Jesus, mocking him, laughing at him while he was on the cross, while he was being led to the cross, while he was being led from judgment to scourgings, to beatings, humiliations.
[01:12:00] Says they shoot out the lip and they shake their head, saying, he trusted in the Lord, that He would deliver Him. Let him deliver him, seeing that he delighted in him, saying, ye, are you Christ? You saved others.
[01:12:11] You saved others. Why don't you deliver? Why don't you show us that you're the Christ and deliver yourself?
[01:12:19] Verse 9 says, but you are he that took me out of the womb. You are he that took me out of the womb. You did make me hope when I was upon my mother's breast. Verse 10. I was cast upon you from birth.
[01:12:31] You are my God from my mother's womb. But be not far from me, for trouble is near. For there is none to help. All his disciples forsook him and fled. Says, for there is none to help. There's many bulls have encompassed me.
[01:12:46] Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me. Oh, all the devils, all the cohorts of hell, all of them were now compassing Jesus Hallelujah. To make sure that he what they can, now we can get rid of him.
[01:13:03] And they didn't know that they were playing into God's hands all along.
[01:13:07] Says the bulls of Bashan have beset me round about. And they were speaking through the chief priests, those devils. They were speaking through the chief priests. They had now entered into the people. They were speaking through the elders, saying, crucify Him. Crucify him. Let go of Barabbas.
[01:13:21] Those are the pools of Bashan. Let go. Crucify Him.
[01:13:26] A righteous man says, they gaped on me with their mouths, crucify Him. Crucify Him.
[01:13:41] Says they gaped on me with their mouths as Ra as a ravening and a roaring lion. I'm poured out like water.
[01:13:49] I'm poured out like water and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. The heart raptured and it is melted in the midst of my body. His heart bursts inside of his body.
[01:14:02] Why?
[01:14:03] What made his heart burst from inside of his body that the sin of the whole world was put? His soul was Made an offering for sin and his heart raptured. His body started to be disfigured, to be mangled.
[01:14:20] And then when the soldier came and they pierced him, blood and water came out. Why? Because the blood and water from his heart that had raptured had filled his body.
[01:14:33] Okay. I'm poured out like water and all my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax. It melted in the midst of my body. Verse 15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue clings to my jaws. And you have brought me to the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me. The assembly of the wicked have enclosed me. They pierced my hands and my feet. That's the crucifixion.
[01:14:58] They part my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.
[01:15:03] That which the soldiers did with his garments, when they said, they cut up the other ones into four parts. And they said, no, let's not cut this one, let's cast loss for it.
[01:15:14] Verse 19. Be not far from me, O Lord, all my strength, haste you to help me deliver my soul from the sword, my life from the power of the dog. Save me from the lion's mouth, for you have heard me from the horns of the wild oxen. I will declare your name unto my brethren in the midst of the congregation will I praise you.
[01:15:37] There's something to be said about that. Okay, I will declare your name unto my brethren. Which brethren is he talking about? Right. When he descends, when he descends into Abraham's bosom, he says, I will declare your name unto my brethren in the midst of the congregation will I praise you, you that fear the Lord, Praise him all you descendants of Jacob, glorify him and fear him all you descendants of Israel. For he is not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted. Neither has he hid his face from him. But when he cried unto him, he heard my praise shall be of you in the great congregation. I will pay my vows before them that fear him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied. They shall praise the Lord that seek him. You, your heart shall live forever. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord. They shall remember and turn unto the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before you. This is what is going on in the heart of Jesus. This is what he's looking at. He's looking at this. This is his faith. This is the faith of the Son of God, that all the nations shall remember you. And they shall be turned, and they shall worship God. All the nations of the world.
[01:16:49] Ah, this is his faith.
[01:16:51] All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before you. All the kindreds of the nations shall worship before you. That is me, that is you, that is us.
[01:17:04] For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he is the governor among the nations. All the prosperous of the earth shall eat and worship. All they that go down to the dust shall bow before him. And none can keep alive his own soul. A posterity shall serve him.
[01:17:19] That's us. It shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
[01:17:24] They shall come and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born.
[01:17:30] That he has done this.
[01:17:35] Hallelujah. That he has done this.
[01:17:39] Oh, glory to God. He has done this. Okay, so now let's finish this account.
[01:17:46] Now that is the Messianic psalm. When he says, my God, my God, why thou forsaken me?
[01:17:55] Just before he, he gives up the Ghost. Verse 35, Mark 15:35. Let's finish Mark's account. And closes. And some of them that stood by when they heard it said, behold, he calls Elijah. And one ran and filled a spawn full of vinegar and put it on a reed and gave him to drink, saying, let alone, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.
[01:18:21] And Jesus cried with a loud voice and gave up his spirit.
[01:18:26] Verse 38. And the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The veil of the temple was torn in two from the top and the bottom. When he gave up the ghost, when he died, that is, when that old priesthood, that old administration had been sacked, that was the sign, the physical sign, that the priesthood is now over.
[01:18:59] And when the centurion who stood facing him saw that he so cried out and gave up his spirits, he said, truly this man was the Son of God.
[01:19:09] There were also women looking on from afar, among whom was Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the Less, and of Joses and Salome, who also, when he was in Galilee, followed him and ministered unto him, and many other women who came up with him unto Jerusalem.
[01:19:30] And now, when the evening was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath, Joseph of Arimathea, an honorable counselor, who also waited for the kingdom of God, came and went in boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. And Pilate marveled that he had already died, that he was already dead. And calling unto him, the centurion, he asked him whether he had been for some time dead. And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave the body to Joses. Okay, that's another prophecy from the Torah, right? Which prophecy is that? 1. That is the prophecy of the body not to remain hung on the tree all night and should bury him that day, for he is accursed. That's Deuteronomy, chapter 21.
[01:20:19] That's the last prophecy we'll look at. And then we are done with the crucifixion.
[01:20:25] Deuteronomy 21, from verse 22 to 23. And if any man has committed a sin worthy of death, right. So they falsely accused Jesus of sin that it was worthy of death, and they crucified him. Then it says, and he is to be put to death. And you hang him on a tree. And you hang him on a tree. All right? Verse 23. His body shall not remain all night upon the tree.
[01:20:46] All right? That's a prophecy from the Torah. His body shall not remain all night on. Upon the tree. Says, but you shall surely bury him that day. You shall surely bury him that day.
[01:20:57] For he that is hanged is accursed of God. That your land be not defiled, which the Lord your God gives you for an inheritance. Okay? And the apostle Paul is the one that revealed that to us in Galatians 3:13, where he says, christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us. For it is written, cursed is everyone that hangs on the tree. Cursed is everyone that hangs on the tree. So Joseph of Arimathea came and the body of Jesus was wrapped in linen, and he was buried on that day. Why? Because he hung on the tree. And the prophecy of the Torah said that cursed is ever when. When he has been accused. He that has been accused of a sin worthy of death hangs on the tree. You must bury him that same day.
[01:21:43] And that is what happened with Jesus.
[01:21:45] Fulfilling that thing which was written in the law and in the prophets concerning him.
[01:21:50] Okay?
[01:21:52] Mark 15, verse 46 to 55. And he brought fine linen and took him down and wrapped him in the linen and laid him in a sepulcher which was hewn out of a rock and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulcher. And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of the Joseph beheld where he was laid. Glory to God. Hallelujah.
[01:22:14] All right.
[01:22:16] All right.
[01:22:18] That is the crucifixion.
[01:22:20] That is what the crucifixion is about. That is what the gospel is about.
[01:22:24] Oh, hallelujah. Thank you. Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your body that was broken, for our bodies to be healed.
[01:22:32] Thank you, Lord Jesus, for. For being made sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Oh, thank youk, Lord Jesus.
[01:22:42] Thank youk, Lord Jesus, for giving up youp soul to be made an offering for sin. Thank youk, Lord Jesus, for bearing our sorrows, our pains, our infirmities, our iniquities in youn own body for us.
[01:22:55] Oh, bless yous, Lord Jesus. We glorify youy. We thank youk, we glorify youy. We thank youk, Lord.
[01:23:01] Oh, hallelujah. Bless his name, wherever you are. Thank him wherever you are. Thank him wherever you are.
[01:23:08] Oh, thank you, Lord Jesus.
[01:23:12] Thank you for your blood. Thank you for your body which was broken. Oh, thank you, Lord Jesus.
[01:23:18] We refuse for our bodies to be broken. We refuse to walk in condemnation because of what you did for us, Lord Jesus.
[01:23:26] Oh, we thank you, Lord.
[01:23:28] Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto you. Yeshua Mashiach. Yeshua Mashiach. Oh, blessing and honor.
[01:23:35] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
[01:23:38] Thank you.
[01:23:40] Thank you for going to the cross for us. Thank you for suffering for us. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Yeshua. Oh, thank you, Lord.
[01:23:49] We can never thank you enough.
[01:23:51] We take this time to thank youk.
[01:23:53] Oh, we thank you.
[01:23:55] Oh, we thank you, Lord.
[01:23:57] Thank you for your blood. Thank you for your body which was broken for us.
[01:24:02] Thank you for your blood which was shed for us. That purges us, that cleanses us, that purifies us, that sanctifies us eternally. Oh, thank you, Yeshua. Oh, thank you, Heavenly Father, for your love.
[01:24:16] Your love which you have loved us in Christ while we were yet sinners. You died. Christ died for us.
[01:24:24] Thank you for your great love.
[01:24:26] Thank you for your great love.
[01:24:29] Thank you for your great love.
[01:24:31] Thank you, Lord.
[01:24:33] Okay, okay. My name is Shingi. I love you. I'll catch you on the next one. And remember that this is your time.
[01:24:45] It.
