Hosts Shelly and June Volk conclude their detailed study on Psalm 22, highlighting the shift from Messiah's suffering on the cross to His victorious resurrection and ultimate reign over all nations. Exploring New Testament fulfillments and Old Covenant roots, the Volks discuss how Yeshua’s sacrifice invites both Jew and Gentile into God's kingdom. They encourage believers to maintain an eternal perspective, embrace the cross, and pray for revelation (epignosis) and spiritual restoration across the earth.

Key Takeaways:

• Enduring for the Joy Ahead: As detailed in Hebrews 12:2, Yeshua endured the suffering of the cross for the joy set before Him, yielding resurrection power to all who trust in Him.

• Transformative Knowledge (Epignosis): The revelation knowledge referenced in Ephesians 1:17–18 goes beyond head knowledge—it is a life-transforming reality granted through the Holy Spirit.

• Global Redemption: Psalm 22:27–28 foretells that all nations (goyim) will turn (shuv / repent) and worship the Lord, pointing to a restored earth under His kingdom rule.

• Prayers for Israel & the Nations: The church age invites Gentiles into spiritual fellowship while calling believers to pray for Israel's eyes to be opened to their Messiah.

• It Is Finished: The closing declaration of Psalm 22—that "He has performed it"—foreshadows Yeshua’s final words on the cross: "It is finished."
