The scriptures have many examples of a topic being spoken about and there is a transition to additional information. Probably one of the most well know examples that God uses is when Ezekiel 28:11-19 and Isaiah 14:3-23 are speaking about the King of Tyre and King of Babylon where there is a switch to speak about Lucifer's fall. The Psalms are replete with this scriptural style of dual topics, dual prophecies and the use of parallel prophecies.

Palm 69 Speaks of Jesus Christ's Childhood

There are many Psalm Scriptures that give us information to Jesus Christ's childhood. God uses many scriptures to have dual meanings and point to something further. One of the most known examples is the scriptures of Ezekiel 28:11-19 and Isaiah 14:3-23 where the scripture initially is being directed to a human being and then shifted to Lucifer.

We know from John 8:41, the Pharisees were ridiculing Jesus of being an illegitimate child. In Psalm 69:12, the "who sit at the gate" are the town officials. These two scriptural references let us know that Jesus' childhood was most likely a rough time full of torment and teasing by others.

Key Points:

Verse 7: Endured scorn and ridicule because his father was not known, meaning no one recognized the prophecy of the virgin birth of Isaiah 7:14, through Mary.
Verse 7 continued: Jesus Christ knew that He would take on the sins of the world where He was innocent but became the entirety sins in history. The "for your sake (which is all of us), shame covers My face".
Verse 8: Jesus' four brothers and at least two sisters treated Him badly.
Verse 10: Jesus Christ spoke nothing in His defense, remaining quiet. As noted, Jesus Christ knew this was part of plan of God the Father that has the climax of the Crucifixion where Jesus Christ took the place of paying for the entirety of sins of the whole world's human beings that lived, were living and will live before the final two judgments.
Verse 11: Points to the mocking by the Roman Guards during the scourging.
Verse 12: Points to the childhood mocking by:
(a) The city officials (at the gate)
(b) The drunk men who did know who His father was since it was not Joseph.

Psalm 69:7-8	7 For I endure scorn for your sake, and shame covers my face. 8 I am a foreigner to my own family, a stranger to my own mother s children;
Psalm 69:10-12	10 When I weep and fast, I must endure scorn; 11 when I put on sackcloth, people make sport of me. 12 Those who sit at the gate mock me, and I am the song of the drunkards.

The Virgin Birth was prophesied in the Isaiah 7:14.

Isaiah 7:14

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

Jesus Christ was called a Bastard during His Ministry

Some of the Scribes and the Pharisees called Jesus Christ a Bastard, which meant a man who does not know who is his father. Notice the word "fornication" where the Scribes and Pharisees knew of Jesus Christ's childhood, but didn't not recognize all the prophecies of the Messiah that would come which included a virgin birth.

There is more to the discussion, during this encounter of the Scribes and Pharisees with Jesus, where Jesus corrects their belief of saying "we have one Father, even God", that their father is Lucifer in verse 44 because they are not recognizing Jesus Christ for who He is.

John 8:41

Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

Jesus Christ was born of Mary through the Seed of God via the miracle of the Hold Spirit.

Isaiah 7:14

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.
