There is only one person in the Bible whose garments were parted among those who cast lots for them. In fact, there is only one person in the three-thousand-year history of the nation of Israel whose garments were parted among those who cast lots for them. Think about that. Only one person out of hundreds of millions over thousands of years. Just one person and only one person. The prophecy concerning this event is in Psalm 22. The fulfillment of the prophecy is recorded in Matthew 27:35. You are more likely to get hit by lightning ten times during your lifetime than this prophecy being fulfilled. While he was on the cross, Jesus told those at his crucifixion that a prophecy was about to be fulfilled. Not only did Jesus know the future, he also knew the prophecies concerning the Messiah and left a message for all of humanity. Jesus is definitely the Messiah.
Psalm 22:18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
Matthew
27:35 … they divided his garments among them by casting lots.
I hope that you live forever with Jesus, the Messiah!
