2 Palm 69 Speaks of Jesus Christ's Childhood
3 The Seed of Mary and God the Father
4 Jesus Christ was called a Bastard during His Ministry

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.  This topic on Psalm 69 gives us a glimpse of Jesus Christ's childhood that also enlightens us in understanding the Pharisees calling Jesus Christ a bastard.

Preface

The following is an excerpt from Could Jesus Commit Sin? topic:

Jesus Christ is God with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit in Eternity.  When He entered His Creation as:

  • A baby in the womb,
  • A baby,
  • An infant,
  • A small child,
  • A boy,
  • A teenager,
  • A young adult, and
  • A man

He was always God and knew He Was God.  He has:

  1. No weakness to succumb into sinning, and
  2. Does not have the ability to sin because He is Perfect as God.
  3. When entering His Creation and taking on a human body, He did not require learning and maturing.

The temptations presented to Jesus Christ were understood by Jesus Christ but it was impossible for them to have any power over Jesus Christ because He is God.  When we read about the temptations that came against Him, the temptations were absolutely real and had power because of Jesus Christ's:

  • Compassion,
  • Empathy,
  • His perfect nature that requires justice and accountably, and
  • The ability to feel pain.

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:

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 Seed of Mary and God the Father

This is an excerpt from the Adam and Eve topic:
 
Genesis 3:15 God is speaking to the Serpent, which is possessed by Lucifer that caused Adam and Eve eating the Forbidden Fruit, that the consequences on Earth will be:

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel.

Notice the following:

  1. The consequence of Lucifer's head bruised with only the offspring's "his heel" that is bruised.  The offspring of the woman is Jesus Christ because of the "seed of the woman" reference which is biologically impossible that points to God doing the "seeding", which is the future Virgin Birth that is also prophesized in Isaiah 7:14.
  2. Lucifer's attack against Jesus Christ causes only a minor bruise to the heel of the foot. 
  3. The question is why did Jesus Christ have a bruise only on His heel?  The answer is the bruise on the heel is because of Jesus Christ stepping on top of Lucifer's head.  So Lucifer never has any victory from what he has done.  Lucifer's ultimate destiny is the Lake of Fire.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

(Immanuel means "God is with us".)

Note that there is more on the "seed of the woman" to consider because it was through Mary's lineage that Jesus Christ had legal right and claim to the Kingship of Israel, and of course the entire Earth.  Women require the "seed" to come from the man, which was done through the Holy Spirit.  Both Mary and Mary's husband Joseph were part of the Royal Linage of Jesus Christ, but Joseph's part of the family genealogy had the curse of Jeconiah problem which is an incredible and amazing point on of how God circumvented the problems and fulfilling the prophecy of Genesis 3:15.

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.

As listed above in this topic, notice the subtle note in Psalm 69:8 that is amazing as the verse does not mention the father that is of course God the Father where Jesus Christ preexisted the birth through an Earthly Mother.  Jesus Christ was not a "stranger" to God's created Angels as "all things were created by Jesus Christ".  Jesus Christ is not a created being as He is God and exists in Eternity.

Psalm 69:8 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;
Colossians 1:16 for in him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him;

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.

What to read next?

Mary, Jesus Christ's earthly mother, did have other Children.  Lineage of Jesus Christ. What is Salvation?  Is it is possible to lose Salvation?  We have eternal life Evolution is not real.  When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it.  Rewards in heaven.  Do we Tithe?  What does the 3rd Commandment tell us?  What is Grace and Mercy?  Is there an Age of Accountability?  Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
