PSALM 22 Part 1 - Monday
from For Zion’s Sake Podcast · host Shelly & June Volk
Hosts Shelly and June Volk examine the prophetic significance of Psalm 22, detailing how King David foretold the crucifixion of Messiah a thousand years before it occurred. The discussion highlights the connection between Psalm 22 and New Covenant passages like Luke 24:44 and Ephesians 1:17–18, emphasizing how spiritual revelation knowledge (epignosis) transforms a believer's walk with God. Key Takeaways: Prophetic Accuracy: Written roughly 1,000 years before Jesus' earth walk—and prior to the practice of crucifixion in Israel—Psalm 22 provides an accurate description of Messiah's suffering on the cross. Transforming Knowledge (Epignosis): The Greek term epignosis used in Ephesians 1:17 implies experiential, participation-driven knowledge that shapes and changes a person's life. Fulfillment of Scripture: Jesus affirmed in Luke 24:44 that everything written concerning Him in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled. Son of God and Son of Man: Yeshua walked in the flesh as the second Adam to bear human sin, opening a pathway for believers to embrace their own spiritual walk and trials. Vision of Victory: Psalm 22 transitions from intense anguish and cries of abandonment to a declaration of God's global kingdom and everlasting praise. Scripture & Bible Passages Referenced: Psalm 22:1–31 – Prophetic psalm detailing Messiah's suffering, prayer for deliverance, and eventual global reign. Luke 24:44 – Jesus explains that all writings in the Law, Prophets, and Psalms regarding Him must be fulfilled. Ephesians 1:16–18 – Prayer for a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the experiential knowledge (epignosis) of God. Matthew 27:46 – Messiah's cry from the cross fulfilling Psalm 22:1: "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"
