What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Psalm 22 messianic psalm and David's experience of suffering"
Answer
The writings of David in the Book of Psalms contain clear predictions about the Messiah, detailing his suffering, death, and resurrection. Through prophetic visions David foresaw Christ's rejection, trial, and crucifixion, with specific details such as the casting of lots for his garments being fulfilled literally. In this, David's Psalms go beyond his own experiences, as he prophesied things that did not pertain to himself but found their full fulfillment only in the life of Jesus.
Prophecies in the Psalms about Christ
»In the Book of Psalms we find the character and offices of the promised Redeemer hinted at with a clarity that has made this book a special study for the Christian Church regarding its revelations about the Messiah. In this book we see how, over time, the vague hints of a future Redeemer gradually matured into clear depictions of the person and office of the Messiah... His state of humiliation on earth, his suffering and death, his lying in the tomb without decay, his resurrection and ascension... are all hinted at in terms that... have been made exceedingly clear by the fulfillment of the events they predicted.«
David's prophetic view of Christ's suffering
»David, as king of Israel and also as a prophet, had been especially honored by God. In a prophetic vision he was shown the future life and ministry of Christ. He saw his rejection, his trial, the crucifixion, the burial, the resurrection, and the ascension. Peter shows here that David could not have been speaking about himself, but definitively about Jesus Christ.«
Literal fulfillment of messianic details
»Our Healer came not only at exactly the time predicted in Daniel's prophecy, but in exactly the way the Scriptures foretold; and his character and life perfectly matched all the various predictions about the Messiah. ... his garments were to be divided, lots were to be cast for his clothing, he was to be given vinegar to drink... All these and many other predictions were fulfilled in him to the letter.«
David's experience in the Psalms
»David's Psalms span the entire range of experience, from the depths of conscious guilt and self‑condemnation to the highest faith and the most exalted communion with God. His testimony of life explains that sin can bring only shame and woe, but that God's love and grace can reach even the deepest depths...«
