"For dogs have surrounded Me;
The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me.
They pierced My hands and My feet." – Psalm 22:16 (NKJV)
Episode Description:
Episode 16 brings us to one of the most direct prophetic images of the crucifixion in the Old Testament. Surrounded by enemies described as “dogs,” the suffering servant is enclosed and pierced — a chilling foretelling of the nails driven into Christ’s hands and feet. Blair Phillips and Brother Daniel unpack how this verse bridges David’s personal suffering and Jesus’ ultimate sacrifice.
This episode also invites listeners to see that God’s plan was not thwarted by the wicked; even their violence became part of His redemption story. The piercing that looked like defeat was actually the price of victory. Through this reflection, we’re reminded that no wound is wasted when surrendered to God’s purposes.
