The Jewish people rejected Jesus. In Psalm 41 it says Jesus’s closest friends will betray him. Judas betrayed Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. In Zechariah 11:12 it says that someone would get paid 30 pieces of silver. This is the same thing that’s in the book of Matthew where Judas gets paid 30 pieces of silver to betray Jesus.
Isaiah says the Holy one will not speak. This is what Jesus did in front of Pilate when He said nothing in His defense. In Psalm 22 is speaks of the Cross and the scoffers who scoffed at Jesus.
2) The Atonement is Completed:
This means we are back into a living relationship with God. At Jesus’s baptism, John the Baptist said Jesus was the Lamb that would take away the sins of the world. The lamb Jesus was slain, slaughtered for the sins of the world. This is the atonement that comes from the Old Testament-the Passover. A lamb was killed and its blood was spread on the door posts by the people to save them from the angel of death. The lamb’s blood on the door post made the death angel pass over their home. After this, each year the high priest would take a lamb to slay for the sins of the people. In Romans 5:12 it says because of one man, Adam, sin came into the world. But now through one man, Jesus, many will be declared righteous. Jesus Christ completed the atonement and oneness with God again for us.
There is nothing to be added to this and nothing to be taken away. We do not need to do any good works. Jesus said “It is Finished”. The death of Christ on the cross finished the redemption and it is finished. The Grace of Jesus finished it. It is finished and the ransom is paid because Jesus is our substitute. We believers rejoice in the gift of Life that is given to us through Jesus Christ. It is finished!

IT IS FINISHED
“It Is Finished”
The last words of YHSHUA Messiah as he hung dying.
What is so extra cool is these words refer to the last words in the entire Quote from Psalm 22.
This event is recorded in Mathew and Mark.
This is the translation we read in modern English. I changed the names to the original Hebrew.
Matt. 27:46-49 About the ninth hour YHSHUA cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"[Ηλει ηλει λεμα σαβαχθανι] which means, "My El, my El, why have you forsaken me?" When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling Elijah." Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to YHSHUA to drink. The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."
Mark 15:34-36 And at the ninth hour YHSHUA cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"[Ελωι Ελωι λεμα σαβαχθανι] which means, "My Eloi, my Eloi, why have you forsaken me?" When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he's calling Elijah." One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to YHSHUA to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down," he said.
In Aramaic it actually is, My El, My El, this is my destiny. “Sabachthani” was wrongly translated in Greek as forsaken, they are similar except for one pronunciation point. It is actually “destiny” in Aramaic.
Wow! What a difference!
YHSHUA was quoting the entire Psalm on the pole/ tree”cross”! Only the first part was written down in Mathew and Mark but with his last breaths, he was teaching and fulfilling the entire prophecy. Beautifully connecting himself to the line and fulfillment of King David. He was speaking on OUR behalf, fulfilling His destiny! He was showing His humanness. He died among us. YHWH creator of all died as a human among us as a brother.
YHSHUA taught the entire Psalm and here is the proof. The Hebrew rendering of these last words in this Psalm spoken in Aramaic then translated to Greek, Latin, and then to English. It is agreed by historians that YHSHUA and his disciples spoke Aramaic, the common language of Judea in the first century AD, The common language of the Hebrew people after the exile from Babylon. They spoke Aramaic but read scripture in “old” Hebrew. Aramaic is the western Syriac form of the Babylonian Hebrew.
Psalm 22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
Psa 22:1 To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David. My EL, my EL, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
Psa 22:2 O my El, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
Psa 22:3 But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Psa 22:4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
Psa 22:5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
Psa 22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Psa 22:7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
Psa 22:8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
Psa 22:9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's chest.
Psa 22:10 I was cast upon thee from the womb: thou art my Elohim from my mother's belly.
Psa 22:11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help.
Psa 22:12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
Psa 22:13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.
Psa 22:14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels.
Psa 22:15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.

Psa 22:17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
Psa 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
Psa 22:19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.
Psa 22:20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog.

Psa 22:23 Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
Psa 22:24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
Psa 22:25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
Psa 22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live forever.
Psa 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
Psa 22:28 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
Psa 22:29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.
Psa 22:30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
Psa 22:31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this.
“he hath done this” is the modern translation of “It Is Finished” !!!
What is finished? HIS DESTINY IS FINISHED!
WOW! These are words in our modern Bibles that have actually caused many to turn away from being a Christian!
We abide in this amazing time foretold by Daniel that we would understand these things. Knowledge shall indeed be increased!
It is so important to seek out the tools we have now to true translation of the actual scripture. Not just for our own understanding but to feed the many lambs that are hungering for the “bread” of our times, “the true word, YHSHUA” He came in the FULLNESS of the WORD, in the fullness of the WORD it is written of Him.
Let us all fulfill our destiny’s so we can also say “It is finished”
