Scripture Post #1,670: *CRUCIFIXION PROPHESIED*

 

Psalms 22:

16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 

17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.

18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 

King David prophesied the Messiah's crucifixion!

"They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did." ~John 19:24. 

The term "cast lots" means to leave up to chance. It's to leave it for fate, or to gamble. This is what was done concerning CHRIST's clothing on the day of his crucifixion.
