Nailed to the Cross (hands, feet). Christ was nailed by His hands and feet. This, and the general abuse heaped upon Messiah, is an Old Testament prophecy of the Messiah when he comes:
Psalms 22:16; Zechariah 12:10; Isaiah 53:1, 3, 10; Micah 5:1-2.
He was thereby bound to fulfill the prophecies, bound to the promises (PW) which the cross signified. His points of binding are the hands and feet because, for the wicked, this immobilizes the ability of the agent in his ability to change faith and carry that change to the world, and renders him at the mercy of circumstances. But to the Man and God of the PW (Christ), it a display of the highest possible act of compliant fulfillment of a prophecy, since the PW, in being abused and temporarily slain, was a part of Him, being prophesied by God. That the highest possible fulfillment of a prophecy of redemption can take place in a predicted resurrection.
There is an unbreakable bond of death for all except the prophetic Word of God, which must be fulfilled (Ps 16:10; Ac 2:27; 13:35). Carnal bodies and carnal spirits do not fulfill but die.
When the PW is so bound, the moral walk (feet), and wise teaching or impartation of grace (hands) is immobilized, but when the PW is bound it is also bound to realize a great and final promise, for nothing can prevent God’s Word from coming true. The prophetic scriptures will seem to the wicked extinguished with Christ’s death, but will be vindicated as true one last time as this embodiment of the PW is raised from the dead as the prophets foretold.
