Psalm 22:27
27 All the ends ['ephec] of the
world ['erets] shall remember [zakar] and turn [shuwb] unto the
LORD: [Yahovah] and all the kindreds [mishpachah] of the nations [gowy] shall
worship [shachah] before [paniym] thee. KJV-Interlinear
27 All
the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, And all the families
of the nations will worship before Thee. NASB
When Jesus went to the
cross, that was the lowest point of human history and the low point of human spirituality.
Daniel prophesied the
year of Christ’s birth and death. The
Magi recognized the prophecy and its date and traveled a very long way just to
meet and see the baby, when people who lived nearby did not even think of it. The birth was further prophesied when the
nation of Judea would lose its national identity, losing its scepter of
autonomy, which occurred when Rome was the first empire to institute a census
and tax. This could have happened with
any of the prior occupying forces in the previous centuries, but did not.
Even the line of David which
was to be the source of the Messiah, and yet no one bothered to monitor that
lineage. All emphasis and focus had been
shifted to the priesthood and not the royal dynasty.
When Jesus hung on the
cross, even after three and a half years of the most remarkable series of miracles,
none of which could be matched or duplicated by anyone, all the people and
especially the Pharisees who were the supposed experts of scripture, mocked and
despised the very person they had been waiting for, for centuries and had now
arrived.
Virtually no one
recognized the signs, and virtually no one bothered to check on or verify the
signs by comparing the actual events with scripture. That is the quintessence of indifference
toward truth when people ignore the facts around them, and look only to their
short sighed ego’s or lusts or complaints or poor-me attitudes.
And so, the one and only
unique person of the universe was not recognized, and was ridiculed and
executed without a fair trial, and without legitimate charges.
But God, in His infinite
wisdom, took mans actions, and turned evil into good, into mans salvation
through Christ’s own work on the cross.
And in the end of it all,
when humanity the world over and throughout history, ignores and rejects God
and His phenomenal plan for each individual person in their own individual
life, will one day turn all their arrogant opinions and attitudes into praise.
