What you DIDN'T know about Jesus Crucifixion

if you've watched my other videos you will have heard of the controversy surrounding Peter drawing his sword and cutting off the ear of malcus and you have also heard of the mystery behind the rooster crow after Peter's denial but that is just scratching the surface of the Undiscovered secrets about Jesus passion and crucifixion today I'll be presenting to you everything you missed in the famous story of our Lord's death because to tell you the truth almost every verse has some kind of cultural significance prophetic connection or symbolic meaning that dramatically enhances the story everything from

the different types of wine he was offered to how the Roman gods were positioned Around Jesus I'm sure this video will enhance your appreciation of Jesus sacrifice at Easter and if this content does bless you in any way please consider subscribing it's free and really helps out there's no more action-packed event in the gospels than the passion and death of Jesus the four gospel accounts are made up of 89 chapters and 18 of those chapters record the last few days of jesus' Life the events leading up to his crucifixion the synoptics have three chapters each

and John offers a massive nine chapters covering these events which means 20% of the combined gospel accounts cover jesus' passion and are whopping 42% of John's gospel recounter in saying that there's many details which I most certainly had missed despite reading this critical history every Easter in the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus Took Peter James and John away to pray he left them three times and all three times he returned to find them asleep this subtly foreshadows the three times Peter would deny Christ just hours later at this moment he had already succumbed to his flesh

as Christ said to him the spirit is willing but the body is weak this has ultimately brought full circle in restoration when Jesus asks P three times do you love me after his resurrection but this was just the beginning of the passion process upon arrival at go gotha Jesus was offered a drink this was one of two times that he was offered a drink of wine from members of the crowd but there's something to notice in the types of wine that were offered and the response that Jesus gave to each for some reason Jesus rejects

the first wine but accepts the second now why is that exactly well the first wine was likely offered before he was hung Mark 15:23 calls it wine mixed with myrr it was typically offered at a time to help decrease sensitivity to pain making the agony of the Cross more bearable it seems Jesus declined this wine in order to experience the full torment of the Cross taking no shortcuts in his mission the second wine was offered not long before jesus' last breath Mark 15:36 says some sour wine was soaked in a sponge and the crowd said

wait let us see whether Elijah will come and take him down this type of wine was commonly consumed by laborers to quench thirst as it was cheap and did a better job than water it was offered to Jesus however as an attempt to extend his life to see whether Elijah would come to his Aid so the first wine mixed with myrrh was intended to lessen jesus' pain so that he wouldn't endure the full Agony of the Cross and the second sour wine was offered to extend his life as long as possible thus prolonging his pain

even further this is the wine he chose to drink he took no shortcuts in saving us he chose to endure the full brutality of the Cross without any assistance for our sake but truth be told there was actually a third wine extended to Jesus this however was requested by him there is a tiny detail that adds some awesome meaning to this moment the sponge was carried on a hisp branch a very significant type of plant it a first to appears in Exodus 12:22 as a sign of protection against the Judgment God was about to bring

against Egypt the blood of the Lamb was painted on the doorframes using a bunch of hiip specifically but that's not all these three passages combin HP with Scarlet wool cedar wood and the blood of a sacrifice to cleanse and heal the Jewish people a sign that a broken transgressor could be restored through this process the fact that hisp was extended to Jesus Jus in his last moments is representative of God's cleansing of sin once and for all through the crucified Messiah his own words confirmed this truth when he said it is finished no more sacrifice

no more hisp or wool or blood it is finished once for all did you know that Jesus delivered seven lines while he was on the cross seven sentences amidst his Agony the seven lines delivered by Christ while he hung gave us valuable insight into his heart during his suffering not only that most of them are prophetic fulfillments such as father forgive them which fulfills Isaiah 53:12 making intercession for the transgressions or what about my God my God why have you forsaken me the first line of Psalm 22 or even his thirsting being a reference to

Psalm 22's my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth but that may not even be the craziest thing I must give credit to my mom for this last one because I don't think any of you at home will have identified this before I certainly did it until just recently Psalm 22 written 1,000 years before Jesus brings light to his internal thoughts during the cross one of which he mentions being encircled by the Bulls of Bashan these were especially strong and destructive Bulls symbolic of the Jewish accusers and Roman oppressors this is true in the

Garden of Gethsemane the trial at the Sanhedrin and on the cross at gol gotha in each instance he was surrounded encircled by the enemy this would have given his opponents a sense of superiority and victory they had finally entrapped the false teacher that so often slipped away from them but as we know the story doesn't end there after his crucifixion Jesus is encircled once more get ready because this will blow you away then I saw a lamb looking as if it had been slain standing at the center of the throne encircled by the four living

creatures and the elders then I looked and heard the voice of many angels numbering thousands upon thousands and 10,000 time 10,000 they encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders in a loud voice they were saying Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise from being encircled and devoured in the ultimate shame of his humiliating death to being encircled by hundreds of thousands of heavenly beings in the end Christ received what was promised because he endured the encirclement of Shame

he was exalted to the encirclement of Glory let this be a reminder to us that our current shame and failings will someday be overwritten by glory and grace in the Kingdom to come take heart and continue to obey our loving father just as his son did on that cross for us
