Psalms
22:16-18 Yea, dogs are round about
me; a company of evildoers encircle me; they have pierced my hands and feet-- I
can count all my bones--they stare and gloat over me; they divide my garments
among them, and for my raiment they cast lots.
This Psalm is about the
crucifixion of Jesus and is a reflection of the accuracy of the prophetic
message found in it, written many hundreds of years before. The beginnings of
Rome is based on the story of Romulus and Remus and that
having been discarded as children they
were breast feed by a wolf. The Roman Standard Bearer also wore a wolf skin
around his shoulders and so these soldiers were known as dogs, vicious,
fearless and extremely loyal to the legion.
As Jesus hung on the cross
so these ‘dogs’ Roman soldiers fought over his possessions and then
agreed to gamble for it, which was their normal practise. This is amazing and must
provoke thoughts of how accurate the bible actually is when seen in light of
history and the prophetic. In the same just as this has unfolded so prophecy
continues to unfold and soon, very soon Jesus has returned.
Be encouraged today to
remember the Bible is prophetic.
David
Point to ponder: The bible is prophetic.
