Messianic psalms, like Psalm 69, foreshadow Christ's suffering and His role as the Savior bestowed with God's glory.
Messianic psalms, such as Psalm 69 and Psalm 22, serve a dual purpose in Scripture. They reflect the personal anguish of the psalmist while simultaneously pointing to the ultimate suffering of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. These psalms are rich in prophetic significance, revealing God's plan of salvation through the death and resurrection of Christ. They are not just historical accounts but fulfillments of divine prophecy, emphasizing how Christ's life, death, and resurrection were foretold. The repeated quoting of Psalm 69 in the New Testament illustrates its importance, reinforcing that Christ's suffering had been planned from the foundation of the world and was necessary for His glory and for our salvation.
