Did God Really Abandon Jesus on the Cross? (We've Been Taught Wrong)

About this sermon

"My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" For centuries, these five words from the cross have been used by skeptics as "proof" of Jesus’ defeat and by believers as a source of deep confusion. Was Jesus actually abandoned by His Father in His final moments? Was He losing His faith as He hung dying? In this episode of Get into the Word, Robby reveals why we’ve been taught wrong about this moment for generations. By looking at the Hebrew language and the Rabbinic tradition of the first century, we discover that Jesus wasn’t crying out in despair—He was teaching. When Jesus quoted the opening line of Psalm 22, He was "cuing up" a song His disciples knew by heart. He was pointing them away from the Roman execution and toward a 1,000-year-old prophecy that describes the crucifixion in breathtaking detail—including a hidden mystery involving a tiny worm called the tola’at. In this video, we unpack: • The Hebrew Secret: Why Jesus spoke in Hebrew (not Aramaic) from the cross. • The Tola’at Worm: How an ancient insect reveals the mechanism of our salvation and the "crimson" stain of sin. • The Full Story: Why Psalm 22 doesn't end in a cry for help, but in a shout of global victory. • The Victory: How Jesus, even while gasping for breath, was proving He was a conquering King in complete control of the plan. Stop seeing the cross as a moment of divine absence and start seeing it as the moment the story of your salvation truly began. 📖 Scriptures Mentioned: • Matthew 27:46 – The cry from the cross. • Psalm 22 – The Messianic prophecy written by David. • Exodus 26:1 / Isaiah 1:18 – The significance of the color crimson. • 2 Corinthians 5:21 – He became sin for us. 👉 Connect with Robby Instagram— https://www.instagram.com/rgallaty/ Twitter — https://x.com/Rgallaty Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/rgallaty — RESOURCES BY ROBBY TO HELP YOU GROW DEEPER: 🔥 Discover the Jewish Roots of Jesus: The Forgotten Jesus: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087PFKTMX 📖 Daily Bible Reading & Prayer: Foundations (260-Day Reading Plan): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1430045558 The Practice of Prayer (30-Day Guide): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8P2M3FN 👥 Leadership: The Movement Ready Church: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7F52V8Y 🌱 The Discipleship Trilogy: Growing Up (Revised & Updated): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768225 Firmly Planted: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768241 Bearing Fruit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768268 🕊️ Robby’s Story: Recovered (A Story of Redemption): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1535909838 📚 Ministries: Church: Long Hollow Church – https://longhollow.com/ Ministry: Replicate — https://replicate.org/ Podcast: The Forgotten Jesus — www.youtube.com/@TheForgottenJesusPodcast 00:00:00 The Most Confusing Words 00:01:12 Rabbi Shorthand: The Night Before Christmas Analogy 00:03:23 The Secret of Psalm 22 00:04:25 The Trinity of Psalms (22, 23, 24) 00:06:09 The "Worm" Prophecy (Tolahat) 00:07:14 The Scarlet Thread Through Scripture 00:09:13 Crushed for Our Sin: The Crimson Dye 00:10:34 The Shift from Agony to Victory 00:11:54 The Global Triumph of the Cross 00:12:58 Was Jesus Actually Abandoned? 00:14:39 Still a Rabbi: Teaching Until the End 👋 Join the Community: If this video helped you see the Word of God in a new light, please Share it with a friend and Subscribe to the channel!
