Prophecy Journey
Did You Know?
Psalm 22 describes crucifixion 1,000 years before it existed. Pierced hands and feet, casting lots for clothes.
David wrote 'they pierced my hands and feet' centuries before Rome invented this execution method.
The psalm even predicts the mocking words: 'He trusted in God; let Him deliver him.'
