A Prophetic Glimpse Of The Cries of Christ With Stacey Lunsford

A Prophetic Glimpse of the Cries of Christ Part 1 - Scripture References: Psalm 22 – Key Verse 1 - The Artful Skill Of Crying From A Biblical Perspective

Psalm 22:1, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me and from the words of my roaring?

Roar is to groan, to utter a deep prolonged sound indicative of pain, grief, or vexation.

In Hebrew the word for groan is anaq (aw-nak) to make a shriek, to cry out in groaning, to make a loud high pitch cry, to scream.

In Greek, the word of groan is stenazo (sten-ad-zo) and it means to sigh, to groan or pray audibly.

• Psalm 22:1-21 is informs us that Jesus will be crucified Matt 26 & 27

• Psalm 22:15, Jesus thirst on the cross - My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death - John 19:28

• Psalm 22:18, soldiers gamble for Jesus clothes - They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. See Matthew 27:35
• Psalm 22:22, Jesus speaks of His father – I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. Hebrew 2:12

Psalm 22:1, what does it mean to be forsaken? Forsaken means to give up, to abandon or desert someone especially during a difficult time.

In this text, David was rejected by his friends and he felt rejected by God. This rejection as painful as it was; was a prophetic glimpse of the cries of Christ in Matthew 27:46 when Jesus hanging on the cross in excruciating pain, about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me

God bless you,
