Did David prophecy that Jesus will declare about god to his brothers? ~ Cross reference of Hebrews 2:12 to Psalm 22:23


Hebrews 2 asserts that god made Jesus a sacrifice for many and brought them to glory. He further says that Jesus and the people who believe in Jesus are a family of glorified people. Jesus though being the salvation for these believers calls them brothers.

He then quotes Psalm 22 to say that David prophesied that Jesus will declare the god to his brothers. This does not have much of a theological bearing so, we will just quickly see if Psalm 22 is about Jesus or not.

This post is not intended to offend anyone's faith but for those people who are Seeking the truth of THE ONE TRUE G-D of the universe to who we owe all our love, gratitude & devotion.

My encouragement to you is that you read the whole chapter of Tanakh that the Greek text quotes so you get the context and understand what G-d actually said.

G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.

Hebrews 2:12 He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.”

Psalm 22:23 I will tell Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation, I will praise You.

Psalm 22 is very much like Isaiah 53 that perfectly fits what happened to Jesus. So one can go back to Tanakh and claim that this was a prophecy that is fulfilled. The problem though is if someone read these passages would the relate to a suffering and dead messiah when there are several other passages that clearly identify the messiah with markers such as "son of David", "anointed one", "king", "ruler" and they all do not talk about this person dying.
  • Psalm 22 is written by David and he is calling out to G-d to help him from his enemies. We know that David had a lot of enemies.
  • Even if assume that David wrote this Psalm 1700 years before Jesus's crucifixion, how can we explain these verses that David wrote.
  • Psalm 22:3 My God, I call out by day and You do not reply, and at night I do not keep silent. - David is saying he is calling out to G-d day and night and maybe for days and weeks he was calling out to G-d. Jesus called out 1 day from the start at Gethsemane and end of the next day he was dead. Also why did he call out to god to save him, was he not supposed to die to save all the people who believe in him?
  • Psalm 22:7 But I am a worm and not a man; a reproach of man, despised by peoples. - How can this be about Jesus. Christians believe he was the sinless son of god and later they started to believe he is god in flesh.
  • Psalm 22:9 One should cast his trust upon the Lord, and He will rescue him; He will save him because He delights in him. - Why does Jesus have to trust in god. He is god[person] and so close to god[another person]
  • Psalm 22:10 For You drew me from the womb; You made me secure on my mother's breasts. 11 Upon You, I was cast from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God. - How can Jesus be born. He existed from eternity right? Even by definition of trinity all three are gods and on one is god of the other right?
  • Psalm 22:12 Do not distance Yourself from me, for distress is near; for there is none to help. - Why does Jesus need to be saved? The whole purpose of him coming is to die right?
  • Psalm 22:16 My strength became dried out like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaves to my palate; and You set me down in the dust of death. - At least in John, Jesus is very calm and in control not only of the crucifixion but also his resurrection, so why the dry mouth and anxiety?
  • Psalm 22:20 But You, O Lord, do not distance Yourself; my strength, hasten to my assistance. - Again why should Jesus be saved when the whole thing was prophesied and had to happen?
  • Psalm 22:21 Save my soul from the sword, my only one from the grip of the dog. - David is talking about enemies in battle and here Jesus was on the cross.
  • Psalm 22:22 Save me from the lion's mouth, as from the horns of the wild oxen You answered me. - Again why ask to be saved?
  • Psalm 22:23 I will tell Your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will praise You. - Jesus was not supposed to live so where is the discussion about if god saves him he will praise god and tell his brother about how god saved him.
  • Psalm 22:26 Because of You is my praise in the great congregation; I pay my vows in the presence of those who fear Him. - Jesus died while David is talking about how he will praise G-d for his redemption.

Is the law not based on Faith? ~ Cross reference of Galatians 3:12 to Leviticus 18:5

Image
Paul makes a very wrong statement that the law is not based on faith. I believe his view is that anyone who keeps the law expects that G-d will bless them even if they don't believe, love, fear G-d.  This is a lie. There are several passages in Tanakh that talk about the blessings that G-d will give those who love him and keep his commands. The teaching of Tanakh is very consistent that one needs to have faith in G-d and show that faith my living to the standards of G-d's laws. All Images are links to Google Images.

Luke like Matthew & Mark uses Psalm 118:26 to say that Jesus was the cornerstone that David wrote about. He was telling the Jews that David knew 1700 years later the Jews would reject him.
