Read Psalm 22 here (text coming …) or at Bible Gateway.
The Hebrew paragraph:
22:1-31 {p} David describes the first and second advents of Messiah prophetically.
Psalm 22:1-24 Chiastic Structure:
Psalm 22:25-31 Chiastic Structure:
Because of the first structure which declares the amazing prophecy of Messiah Yeshua’s crucifixion, we will have the second structure, which describes the glorious reign of Messiah in His kingdom, to the ends of the earth. All the families of the nations will be restored to God to worship before Him (vs. 27). This is a direct Common Theme teaching backward to the Tower of Babel rebellion against God (Gen 11:1-9), where all the families of the nations gathered together as one to reject God as Creator and God (and is the historical root of paganism), and a direct Common Theme teaching forward to the vision of John recorded in Rev 7:9-10, of all the families of earth, gathered together as one before YHVH on His throne, worshiping Him.
Another way to say it, is that the first structure declares Messiah’s first advent as the Servant who suffered for all. The second structure declares Messiah’s second advent as the King who rules in righteousness over all.
