"....the assembly

of the wicked have
inclosed me: they pierced my hands
and my feet." Psalms 22:16

This portion of prophecy in Psalms
describes death that only he could
fulfill as Daniel 9:26's prophecy that
the Messiah was to be "cut off, or
killed".

Many in those days thought he was
going to set up an earthly kingdom.

But prophecy told he was to die!

These prophesies were told almost
a thousand years before fulfillment.
