Mathew 27:35 And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.

Where in God’s Word is the crucifixion of Christ first mentioned?

Psalm 22 is pretty extensive.
Abraham's near sacrifice of Isaac is a close type.
 
Where in God’s Word is the crucifixion of Christ first mentioned?

Here is a prophetic text about Christ crucifixion

Psalms 22:16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
 
I don't know if this fits

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
 
I don't know if this fits

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet (shortly). The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Paul shows the mystery of the man and woman speak of Christ and the church there also
 
You can probably see a figure of the cross as shown in Abrahams son Isaac here

Abraham took the wood
of the burnt offering,

and laid it upon Isaac his son; (The wood/ the Cross)

Who offered up his only begotten son (His only begotten) Gen 22:2

Of whom it was said,
That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

Abraham accounting that God was able to raise him up ,
even **from the dead** (faith in the operation of God)

And **from whence** also
he received him **in a figure** (the law having shadow)

**Him**God raised up the third day, (Christ Jesus)
and **shewed him openly** (the resurrection from the dead)

Or this way,

Gen 22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son.
And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but **where is the lamb** for a burnt offering?

Keeping in mind, the law having **shadow of** good things to come, and not the very image of the things

Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, My son,
God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering:
so they went both of them together.

The law prophesied until John (the messenger sent before him) where we see him exclaim,

John 1:36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

And there it is, God provided himself a lamb
(in a picture of His own Son) upon whom was placed the wood

And likewise Paul writes,

Romans 8:2 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all,
how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?


God having preached before the gospel unto Abraham, the promise was to Abraham and his seed

And what was shown in a figure beforehand(by the ministry of the prophets)
God did show openly (in His Son Jesus Christ)

Gal 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's,then are ye Abraham's seed,
and heirs according to the promise.



 
A fiery serpent on a pole (an ensign) a thing lifted up

Numbers 21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole:
and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten,
when he looketh upon it, shall live.


Whereas here Jesus also said,

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted up:


John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men unto me.

And,

John 12:33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.

Whereas here it says,

Duet 21:22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death,
and he be put to death , and thou hang him on a tree

1Peter 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

Acts 10:3 And we are witnesses of all things which he did
both
in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem;
whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

Acts 3:15 And killed the Prince of life,
whom God hath raised from the dead;
whereof
we are witnesses.

Acts 5:30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus,
whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

Duet 21:23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree,
but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day;
(for he that is hanged is accursed of God that thy land be not defiled,
which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.


Mat 27:57 When the even was come,
there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, (Isaiah 53:9)
who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

Mat 27:58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.
Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.

Acts 13:9 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him,
they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.

Mat 27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

Mat 27:60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock:
and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.

Romans 4:5 Who was delivered for our offences,
and was raised again for our justification.


Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Gal 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,
being made a curse for us:
for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

2Cr 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.


 
Hello PilgrimPassingThru,

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:



​I always loved the above analogy. God sent a plague of poisonous snakes among the people of Israel and Moses interceded for them and God told him to make pole with a bronze serpent attached to the top. Anyone who had been bitten, if they looked to the bronze serpent the poison would have no affect on them. In the same way, just as the poison would be lethal to those who did not look to the bronze snake, in the same way when we look to Jesus on the cross, the poison of sin has no affect on us.

Hi Atwatukee, I can never tell in the first pass how someone is catching it but yeah, and you can see some like comparisons in the things there also

Duet 8:15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

These scorpions speak (so do not be not afraid of "their words")

Ezek 2:6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee,and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

These vipers speak too

Mat 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Psalm 58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;

Psalm 140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips

Romans 3:3 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Duet 32:24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction:
I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them,with the poison of serpents of the dust.

Duet 32:33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps
.

Duet 32:34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

Romans 3:3 Their throat is an open sepulchre;
with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Just as,

Prov 26:24
He that hateth dissembleth with
his lips, and layeth up deceit within him;

The Psalms speaks of him sending in among them evil angels also

*I changed that font*

That's right amen! Just...

Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Is this not a cross references to what Jesus said in Mark 16: 17-18, a sign for anyone who believes in Christ?

Thanks

Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mark 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
 
Numbers 21:6 And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people,
and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness,
even so must the Son of man be lifted up:


Numbers 21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole:
and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life

Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God,
ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain


Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death:
because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

Yeah, Paul was proof of the above when the ship he was on was grounded on the reef on Malta and when they had built a fire and that snake jumped out and latched onto Paul's hand. The people of Malta were waiting for Paul to swell up and die, but he didn't (Acts 28:4-6). I do however hate what these radical groups have done with that scripture, by dancing on stages with snakes and drinking strychnine poison, which is watered down I'm sure.
 
I believe God was trying to teach Moses how to snake handle using his rod not reaching into rattle snake dens

And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

And he said, Cast (( it )) on the ground.

And
he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent;

and
Moses fled from before it.

And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail.

And he put forth his hand, and caught (( it ))

and it became (( a rod )) in his hand:

((Behold)) ... I give you (( power))

Taking up a serpent there (even in that way)

After that rehearsal, Aaron was told to

Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh,

and it shall become a serpent.


So did Pharaohs wise men so the same

For they cast down every man his rod,

and they became serpents

but Aaron's rod swallowed up their rods.

Definately more power there as I would count it

 
Hi Jb,

Christ did NOT go to "Paradise" (which is in Heaven) when He died, His spirit returned to God (Luke 23v46), His body was in the tomb (Luke 23v50) and His soul descended into Hades (Sheol)


The above is not correct. The word "paradise" is not unique to heaven, as Eden was also called paradise. When Jesus said to the man next to him "today you will be with me in paradise" he was speaking of the same place where Abraham and Lazarus were in that area across from Sheol/Hades, which Abraham referred to as a place of comfort. Scripture states that unless there is a shedding of blood there is no forgiveness for sin and the payment for sin is death. Though Jesus paid the penalty for sin by dying in our place, He himself was without sin and therefore death could not hold him. Also, Jesus soul and spirit did not split up with one going to the Father in heaven and the other going down into Sheol. Both Christ's soul/spirit went down into Sheol/Hades in area where Abraham and Lazarus were, that place of paradise. Another proof that Jesus did not ascend into heaven either via soul or spirit can be deduced from the following:

"
Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned and said to Him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher).

17“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, For I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

According to the scripture above, after his resurrection, Jesus had not yet ascended to the Father, which would definitely rule out heaven as the place of paradise that Jesus was speaking of.
(NOTE 2: Luke 23v43 states "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."


The above is a well known false teaching stating that the comma is in the wrong place, that it should be placed after the word "today" instead of after the word "You." Here is the same scripture with the comma moved as they are suggesting:

1). "
And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."

2). "And He said to him, "Truly I say to you today, you will be with Me in Paradise."


The first example infers that the Jesus is telling the man that he will be with him in paradise that very day, while the second example infers that Jesus is telling him that day that he will be in paradise. It is important to note that every single major translator has the comma after the word "You" and none have it after the word "Today." What do you think that the odds that all of the Hebrew and Greek scholars, all from different schools and walks of life, with strict adherence to translation requirements, that everyone of them put the comma in the wrong place?

In example #1, Jesus is promising the man that he will be with him in paradise that very day, where example #2 makes Jesus sound like he's doing Shakespeare in the park. Why would Jesus need to inform the man what day he was telling him this information? It is ridiculous to think of! The paradise that Jesus was promising the man who was crucified next him, was the same place that Abraham and Lazarus were, which was that area across from Sheol/Hades which was separated by a great chasm as described in Luke 16:19-31.

And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in Paradise.

And Jesus said to him, Verily I say to thee, This day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

"I tell you in solemn truth," replied Jesus, "that this very day you shall be with me in Paradise."

Jesus said to him, "Assuredly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

and Jesus said to him, 'Verily I say to thee, To-day with me thou shalt be in the paradise.'

GEN 3:15

And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”
 
I don't know if this fits

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

You are right.


Genesis 3:15 And I [God] will put enmity between thee [Satan] and the woman [Eve], and between thy seed [the Kenites] and her Seed [Jesus Christ]; It [Christ] shall bruise thy [Satan's] head, and thou [Satan] shalt bruise His [Christ's] heel.


Eve's seed is our Lord Jesus Christ. While Satan's seed are the children, to the last generation, called the Kenites. Those offspring are born from the sexual union between Eve and Satan [the serpent, and the tree of good and evil]. God is telling us that He will put trouble between Eve's children [through Adam and Seth], and Satan's offspring through Cain, called the Kenites.


It is Jesus Christ that shall bruise the head of Satan, at Christ's return at the second advent; while it was Satan's children the Kenites, [not brother Judah] that bruised the heel of our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. This was done when the spikes were driven through Christ's heel, as He hung on the cross to pay the full price for our sins, once and for all.


Most "men of God" acknowledge that Genesis 3:15 is talking about the death of Jesus Christ when He was nailed to the cross for our sins. They recognize that "seed" is referring to the children of the woman "Eve", yet somehow they just want to spiritualize everything else that happened in the Garden of Eden between Eve and the two men [Satan and Adam]. The "seed" in the Hebrew is called "zirmah", and in the Greek, it is "sperma". We in the English call it "sperm", and in Strongs Hebrew Dictionary # 2233; "Posterity, carnally, child, fruitful". Friend, it can't be any clearer. The seed of Satan's "posterity" are the "Kenites", while Adam's posterity is in Christ, and of the pure bloodline through Seth.


Until you understand what really took place in the Garden of Eden, and why, it will be difficult for you to grow up and mature in the Word of God, and in true Christianity.
