Prophesy

There are many prophesy's about Jesus' death upon the cross who cries out to God from intense persecution. There are parallel's between Psalm 22 and the details written in the New Testament about Jesus' crucifixion. Psalms 22:7 talks about a man surrounded by people who despise and scorn him. That happened to Jesus in Matthew 27:30 and Mark 15:29. Psalm 22:16 talks of a man numbered with the transgresers when He was crucified between two criminals (Matthew 27:38;Mark 15:27;Luke 23:32 and ( John 19:18). Psalm 22:8 says "He trusts in the Lord: let the Lord rescue him. Let the Lord deliver him, since he delights in him". Matthew 27:43 Jesus' enemies taunted him when they said "He trusts in God, let God rescue him now if he wants him". Psalm 22:16 also speaks of a man whose hands and feet were disfigured. Jesus' hands and feet were disfigured during the crucifixion. Psalm 22:17 talks about a man who people stared and gloated at. In Matthew 27:36 and Luke 23:35 this describes Jesus. In Psalm 22:18 people gambled for pieces of his clothing. The same thing happened at Jesus' crucifixion (Matthew 27:35). There are other descriptions in Psalm 22 that accuratley describe a crucifixion, bones being disjointed (not broken), intense thirst, stregnth drying up and a heart that melts like wax.  
There are other prophecies in (Zechariah 12:10),(Isaiah 53:12, 53:9).
