David, the man who as a very young boy killed the giant Goliath, wrote a poem (a psalm) when he was King of Israel, about 1,000 years before Jesus was crucified. It reads as a staggering account, by Jesus, of his crucifixion and death.

 

Now remember that the Old Testament was translated into Greek by over 70 scholars (why it’s called the Septuagint – from the Latin for 70) in about 275BC. At that time most Jews didn’t speak Hebrew. So the Old Testament is locked in as being 100% genuine – written a long time before the birth of Jesus and full of prophecies of the coming of Jesus. The most staggering by far is what the Angel Gabriel told Daniel (the man in the lion’s den). It predicted about 650 years ahead of time the exact day that Jesus would enter Jerusalem on the ass – Palm Sunday. So in today’s programme Jesus final moments on the cross are explored and he is brought down from the cross dead – with the perfection of his promise to rise from the dead yet to be fulfilled.
