Jesus, I can't stop thanking you enough!?!!?? That pain you endured just for my ungrateful soul smh I can't thank you enough my Lord, my King, my Savior, my Rock, my friend,

[@JG-hi8ew]

Wow!! Just wow!! Jesus was/is awesome. The more I learn (new Christian)the more I'm blown away by our Lord and what he accomplished, the way it was prophesied and his ultimate completion of the most difficult journey! All for us wretched and disgusting sinners?! Man! God is awesome 😎

[@LMan86]

Jesus took on all the sins of the world. So the Father could not be near him. The Father had to separate himself from Jesus. So Jesus who always felt the Father’s warmth, for the first time ever, felt completely alone 💔

This makes so much sense now. God bless you

OH MY SOUL, Why Have You Left Me.....

[@bearhug7335]

Jesus was not forsaken by his father. He was strictly referencing psalms 22 which confirms his is who he said he was.

[@sherylheng6439]

Just sharing my revelation....Jesus is quoting scripture of man asking God, why have you forsaken me. Jesus spoke in agony..And the answer is in His broken body, wounded and beaten and nailed to the cross....Jesus answer to man 'have i forsaken you?' with his body cruxified at the cross dying for man.

Almost everyone going online with this Subject ist falling Info the " Trap" that the Greektranslators fell. God' s Word is Spirit, so then only humbly asking the Holy Spirit to teach us is the only way to grasp. In Psalm 22 " the Prophecy about the crucification of Our LORD Jesus-Christ, King David said: "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me" The hebrew Translation in Psalm 22 is: Eli, Eli, Lama AZAVTHANI (Azav means to abandon) Nevertheless Jesus-Christ said ZEBACHTANI ( by the way, there is No Sabachtani nieder in Hebrew nor in Aramehic languages ) That is why those hearing him did not understand. Some even thought Jesus-Christ was calling the Prophet ELi Before I Go to the real meaning of those words, let get some Insight: John Chap. 8 vers 29 says: and He that sent me is with me: the Father hast not left me alone;... HEBREW 13, 5 (final part of Verse 5) for He had said, I will never leave you, nor forsake you. PSALM 23 ( the continuation of the Prophecy ) Although I walk in the valley of deep shadow of Death, I fear nothing... Our Creator and Father in Heaven never, "never" forsake His faithfull one. Now Back to the main point: Let us compare how LUKE in Chap. 23 Verse 46 correctly and in harmmony with Mathew, he makes a paraphrase of what Jesus-Christ really said namely: "And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, Into thy hands I commend my Spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost (KJV) Jesus-Christ was presenting His life to God as a sacrifice before dying as THE LAMB OF GOD that takes the sinsof mankind away Eli(Eloi), ELi(Eloi), Lema(Lama) Zebach.than.i MY GOD, MY GOD A DEDICATED SACRIFICE I GIVE MYSELF Here you have proves from the "Strong' s Concordance" Eloi (Eli) God of me=My God. G1682 Lema (Lama) DEDICATED, Devotee: for example in Proverbs Chap. 31 Verses 1 and 4 concerning LEMU.EL (Lemu of God; Lemu or Lama is also a title given to a leader who is dedicated to instruct people in spiritual matters; that is why Lemuel is given the counsel from the Queen mother not to be drinking wine.) H3929 Zebach ( Sabach do not exist ) H2078 Zebach = Sacrifice Than ( from Na.than; remember the "I" = of me ) Nathan = given (to give). H5415 Jesus-Christ cried with a "loud" (triumphant) voice to the Father, a voice of victory over the arcenemy. IT IS FINISH (IT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED) On that day all the promises became "Amen"

I love this explanation. Thank you for sharing.

[@jamesbutler3960]

Amen!

[@cailloulibanga9067]

In Psalm 22 King David cried to God: Eli, Eli, lama (?) AZAVTHANI (Azav or Azab = to abandon) Lama is not "WHY" WHY is simply " Mā " See a Reference in Strong's Concordance of the Bible. H4100 Jesus-Christ said: ELi ( Eloi ) = God of me ( my God ) See Strong's Concordance. G1682 LEMA ( Lama ) = Dedicated, Devotee. H3927 For example in Proverbs 31, 1 and 4 about LEMU.EL One who is "Lemu" ( Lama ) should not be drinking wine since a "Lemu is a spiritual Leader to instruct people. ZEBACH = Sacrifice. H2078 There is NO such a Word Like Sabach in Hebrew or in the Aramehic languages. NA.THAN.I (Than being the root), therefore NATHAN.I See NATHAN. to give; given. H5415 MY GOD, MY GOD, A DEDICATED SACRIFICE I GIVE MYSELF Jesus-Christ cried in " a loud" voice (victoriously over the arcenemy) to His Father to present himself as the LAMB OF GOD who takes the sins of mankind away. In harmmony also with a short paraphrase in LUKE 23: 46. ...Into your hands I surrender my Soul God the Almighty, the Creator of eerything, the Father in Heaven never ever abandoned His so'n Jesus-Christ. This is the confirmatiion from Jesus-Christ himself in JOHN chap. 8, 29 And He that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone;... Hebrew 13 vers 5 ( final part of the vers ) for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. ( KJV ) Let us Always ask God to give us the Holy Spirit to teach us God' Word

In the original Aramaic and the original Hebrew Bible Jesus said my God my God for this I was spared,

[@Hobbis187]

😭

[@bradleylove8606]

You see God can't be in the presence of sin. At this point God removed himself from Jesus because he had to bear our sin alone as a man. Jesus was so alone after God had been with him and now withdrew from him as Jesus had to bear the sin for us as a man our sacrificial lamb as He is called. At this point of time Jesus I'm sure felt utterly alone there to die. This was Jesus most painful time in Jesus life. This pain is I believe beyond any living human can imagine.

Holy Father!

[@poweratlas5010]

I still don’t understand

[@hoodpimp1519]

Dont try to understand because it makes no sense and humans are trying to justify it.

[@sputnik8407]

He never said that . He said Father for this cause I was spared ! 1:46 . Just like in the Garden , how could Jesus ask the Father to take away the cross. What was the condition of the Lord in he Garden ?? He was dying there and would not been able to go on to the cross. There are mistakes in translation, we are just humans and we make mistakes. Dig deeper !!

[@husshuss1874]

Psalms 22:1 my God , my God why have you forsaken me Isn’t that verse proof Jesus is prophet Not deity’s , because he was praying For God ????

[@bepreparedforwhatscoming4975]

King David prophesied Jesus!

[@joecaner]

"To some degree that's speculation." Ya think!

[@claudiozanella256]

God is made by the Son - who is not omnipotent - and by the Father. But the Father - the almighty God - is just a SPIRIT here ("God is a spirit"), aka the "Holy Spirit". This means He is ABSENT because He only dwells in the past, before the start of the universe ("the world has not known you"). But from that distant time He is ABLE TO OBSERVE US and to take actions here. Before getting rid of his power, the Son was that omnipotent God ("He who has seen me has seen the Father"). The Son is now the ONLY ONE really existing non-omnipotent God, the Owner of heaven ("Then the King shall say...). The Holy Spirit inside Him is the Father-Spirit, no one else exists inside Him "I am not ALONE because the Father is with me". The Son sits next to the POWER of God (a thing) because He hasn't got his own. That power had been used for Mary's pregnancy for example "the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee". Jesus is thus DIFFERENT from the almighty God.

Read John 1 until verse 14, you’re question will be answered

[@teawittoken5504]

although what u said is true...for anyone to attempt to answer this question...is disgusting...for the Lord was speaking to His father and His creator...the arrogance that it takes for a human or even a child of God to attempt to answer this question is mind blowing and very grieving to the Holy spirit...for it is and was a private conversation between the Lord and God...if ur not them..how could u know? u can't ur only speculating and filling ur own heads and hearts with pride to think that u can even begin to understand and answer a question that YOU WASN'T ASKED....

[@hell-iz-real_wakeup]

No it's not. We all need preacher in order to understand scripture and we all need to understand scripture so that we can have faith in Jesus and we need faith in Jesus to get to heaven. (Romans 10:14-15) The Bible was written literally for our learning (Romans 15:4) So it's extremely important for this video to be made and for others to also help explain this topic.

[@urbanvoice5323]

your talking absolute nonsense, all scripture is for interpretation. 2Tim 3:16

[@robertwilson3819]

If you are being so very smart & honest, then why are you all still using HIS FAKE "J" name???? Instead of HIS REAL NAME, Yeshua Ha Mashiach. There was NO LETTER OR LETTER SOUND "J" until just 500 Years ago. It did NOT EXIST 2,000 Years ago!!!!
