The Psalm agreed with John
By Keith Greer

"Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, and the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me." (Psalm 69:7) In John 2:13-17, when John wrote concerning Jesus overturning the moneychangers, he showed the fulfillment of David's prophecy in Psalm 69.

"Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted up his heel against me." (Psalm 41:9) When Judas betrayed the Lord Jesus for 30 pieces of silver (John 13:18), he fulfilled David's prophecy in Psalm 41.

"Let them not rejoice over me who are wrongfully my enemies; nor let them wink with the eye who hate me without cause." (Psalm 35:19) "Those who hate me without cause and more the hairs of my head, they are mighty who would destroy me, bring my enemies wrongfully; though I have stolen nothing, I still must restore it." (Psalm 69:4) John's account of Jesus telling His disciples of the hate others felt toward him (John 15:24,25), shows the fulfillment of David's prophecy in Psalm 69.

"They also gave me gall for my food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink." (Psalm 69:21) This prophecy was fulfilled during Jesus' crucifixion as He hung on the cross. (John 19:28-30)

"They divide My garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." (Psalms 22:18) As Jesus hung dying on the cross, the soldiers cast lots for His garments. (John 19:23-25)

How could the great King David, who wrote the above-mentioned Psalms, and the great apostle John, who lived centuries after David agree so completely? They never met; they never spoke; they lived in different times, under different circumstances. But they wrote the exact same thing. Could this be coincidence? I think NOT.
