[[Ps-70]] Prev: [[Prophecies in Ps-69]] | Next: [[Prophecies in Ps-71]] --- ### Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. Let them be turned because of their shame who say, "Aha! Aha!" *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: This is a prophetic prediction regarding the specific verbal mockery and subsequent public disgrace of the enemies of the righteous sufferer (the Messiah). *Historical context*: Theologians and historians identify the fulfillment of this prophecy in the Passion of Jesus. The specific taunt "Aha! Aha!" (Hebrew: He'ach) corresponds to the mockery of the crowds and leaders at the cross recorded in [[Mark-15#v29|Mark 15:29]] and [[Matt-27#v39|Matthew 27:39]]-43. The 'shame' and 'disgrace' of the mockers were historically realized through the Resurrection of Jesus, which vindicated Him, and the subsequent destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD, which led to the displacement of the religious leaders who had opposed Him. *Related to*: ### Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "Let God be exalted!" *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prophecy declaring that those who embrace God's salvation (Yeshua) will be characterized by perpetual joy and global exaltation of God. *Historical context*: The word for 'salvation' used here is the root of the name 'Jesus' (Yeshua). This is historically fulfilled in the growth of the global Christian Church, where believers across all nations ('those who seek you') have found spiritual 'rejoicing' in the Gospel and continually exalt God in worship. It describes a transition from the narrow nationalist focus of the era to a future of universal praise centered on God's saving act. *Related to*: ### But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don't delay. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: A prophetic plea for the immediate divine deliverance of a suffering and humble leader, implying a rescue that would happen swiftly. *Historical context*: In Messianic interpretation, the 'poor and needy' one is Jesus in His state of humiliation. The historical fulfillment of 'don't delay' is found in the 'Third Day' resurrection ([[1 Cor-15#v4|1 Corinthians 15:4]]). While typical historical deliverances often took generations, this prophecy was realized when God acted as the 'Deliverer' by raising Jesus from the dead shortly after His burial, a foundational event that verified His identity and mission. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
