If you were to look at the stars all night long with your head in the exact same position and it became daylight would you still be looking at the stars? Imagining yourself still staring in the blackness of the night sky and as you were staring there add the bright shining stars the sun begins to rise and as the sun begins to rise the brightness of the sun it's so intensely bright you can no longer see the darkness nor the stars. But I tell you the stars are still in the exact same spot that they were get the brightness and the glory of the sun hides those stars. And just as the stars glory is taken away by the brightness of the sun King David’s very presence as the author of this song is completely hidden by the glory and splendor that it reveals about Gods one and Only Son.

Prophecy
Prophecy
The prophecies God presents in His Word are not suggestions of what will take place, but a witness to God’s ordaining of whatsoever comes to pass.
The prophecies God presents in His Word are not suggestions of what will take place, but a witness to God’s ordaining of whatsoever comes to pass.
Isaiah 46:9–10 “9 Remember what happened long ago, for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and no one is like me. 10 I declare the end from the beginning, and from long ago what is not yet done, saying: my plan will take place, and I will do all my will.”
To me one of the profoundest arguments for the unique inspiration of the Scriptures is the truth of prophecy, the fulfilment of prophecy.

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (Welsh Preacher and Writer)
Grudem bases his definition of prophecy in Paul on a detailed study of 1 Corinthians 14:29–30: prophecy is the reception and subsequent transmission of spontaneous, divinely originating revelation.

Stoner has made the statement that the chances of just 8 prophecies (like these) coming true by sheer chance is 1 in 10 17th power (100,000,000,000,000,000).

3. The detail and imagery of the words used.
Psalm 22:6 “6 But I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by people.”
1) “This verse is a miracle in language. How could the Lord of glory be brought to such abasement as to be not only lower than the angels, but even lower than men. What a contrast between ‘I am’ and ‘I am a worm ‘!” “He felt himself to be comparable to a helpless, powerless, down–trodden worm, passive while crushed, and unnoticed and despised by those who trod upon him. He selects the weakest of creatures, which is all flesh; and becomes, when trodden upon, writhing, quivering flesh, utterly devoid of any might except strength to suffer. This was a true likeness of himself when his body and soul had become a mass of misery—the very essence of agony—in the dying pangs of crucifixion.” (Spurgeon)
2) Hebrew word for a worm is “rimmah”, which means a maggot. This word used is TOLA’ATH, which means “Crimson worm” or “Scarlet worm”
