THE CRUCIFIXION OF THE KING A Vision Is there any mortal in the history of Earth that has fully comprehended the extent of Christ’s sacrifice and the depth of His suffering? We modern day Christians have seen hundreds of paintings of the Crucifixion depicting a very handsome, scarcely scratched, barely bleeding Jesus hanging on the cross... what if I told you that JESUS our Savior was a BLOODY PULP on the Cross and didnt even look human, which is, of course… SCRIPTURAL. (Isaiah 52:14)? Just as there were many who were appalled at Him -- His appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and His form marred beyond human likeness—“ My vision of JESUS ON THE CROSS in October 2012 My Pastor was in the middle of a prayer in church when I had this vision in 2012. He had just prayed, “Lord, once again hide us behind the cross…” As the Pastor continued in his prayer, I began one of my own. I asked God, “What does he mean when he says this: ‘Hide us behind the cross.’?” Suddenly, in a flash I had a vision from God of Jesus hanging on the cross. The WRATH of God toward sin was more than I knew. The TRAUMA of the Cross was more than I dared to imagine. Christ’s suffering was DEEPER than I wanted to know; and all of it is more than I still comprehend! All I could ask in dumbfounded shock was: “WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT CROSS??!!” THE CROSS WAS AN ALTAR OF BLOODY SACRIFICE… I saw the cross itself was extremely TALL and Jesus was on that cross high and lifted up. He was being offered UP to and toward God Himself as a SACRIFICE for SIN. The Cross was the means by which He was being offered to God. I saw that the bloody, traumatized Cross was an Altar of Sacrifice and bloody slaughter. Christ Jesus Himself was the sacrifice, the Lamb of God who was violently punished for the sin of mankind. God purposed for Christ to be crucified upon that cross so high and lifted up in such a violent, traumatic and bloody way. In this way God’s wrath was satisfied. HE WAS CRUSHED FOR OUR INIQUITY… “He was wounded for our transgressions; He was CRUSHED for our iniquities; upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His stripes we are healed.” ~Isaiah 53:5 I saw that Jesus was nailed to that Cross, ALREADY damaged and wounded by the hands of mortals, but the MOST traumatic impact came while He hung on that cross away from the hands of men. The most crushing, violent blow came from God Himself as He personally punished Jesus for sin. I saw this and it put the fear of God in me. I saw that the sky was very foreboding, dark, stormy and active. I saw the Father’s wrath in the sky over the Cross of His Son Jesus Christ. I saw lightening flashing violently over the Cross where Jesus had become sin for the salvation of mankind. I saw that nature itself was in an uproar over the sacrifice of the LORD JESUS. I saw the wrath of God come down upon Jesus because He became sin itself. This combination crushed Jesus. Jesus BECAME sin. And God’s wrath came down violently against SIN. What Jesus experienced at that point IS beyond our comprehension. This was the most traumatic impact of His sufferings. This is the hardest thing for mere humans to comprehend or accept. He didn’t suffer the most at the hands of men, but at the hands of His Father who was punishing Him for the sin of the world. First, He was forsaken by the One He loved deeply: His God and His Father. God forsook Jesus at the point when Jesus became sin, because God is not at peace with sin, but is in enmity with sin. The sole purpose of His death on the cross was to satisfy God’s wrath toward sin. For the first time in eternity, Jesus was separated from His Father. This was traumatic and crushing. This was CATASTROPHIC! Second, becoming SIN violently crushed Jesus. Jesus didn’t just become one sin, or symbolic sin, or a certain group of sins…. Jesus became ALL sin… sin itself! Just taking one heinous sin into account slightly puts one on the road to understanding the weight of horrendous evil that Jesus had to become. Jesus became every evil, violent, perverted, proud, vicious, cruel, deceptive, filthy sin in existence from the beginning of time to the end of time! Whenever we hear of the rape and murder of innocent children, for example, we grab our ears and our hearts and cry out for justice against the perpetrator! We are “crushed” at the hearing of these horrible sins. Now, think of Jesus who had to not just become the very sin, but every sin. The impact did crush Him spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally, etc. Ask God now for comprehension of what I explain. Thirdly, the wrath of a Just God who punished this sin crushed Jesus. Jesus became the perpetrator… He became guilty of all sin instead of us and God justly punished Jesus for all our sin. God the Father unleashed His full wrath toward sin upon Jesus on the Cross. His justice was appeased. God’s violent wrath was equal to the depth of the wickedness of the sin, so was His justice fulfilled. Sin was punished and God’s justice was satisfied! “It pleased the LORD to CRUSH Him (Jesus). He has put Him (Jesus) to grief, when He made His soul and offering for sin…” (~Isaiah 53:10) And we are just touching the surface of all this. THE LAMB of GOD WAS A BLOODY, MARRED SACRIFICE He was disfigured and marred beyond human likeness… Isaiah 53:5 I saw that Jesus was hanging on that cross, but no, He did not look like a man. What I saw was a bloody mass nailed to a cross. So much blood and raw flesh and open wounds. Listen to what the Bible says about Jesus’ condition on the cross: “Just as there were many who were appalled at Him--His appearance was so DISFIGURED BEYOND THAT OF ANY MAN and His form MARRED BEYOND HUMAN LIKENESS”—Isaiah 52:14 HOW CAN THIS BE???? Well, in Psalm 22:14, Jesus speaks through David concerning His experience on the cross and He says, “…all My bones are out of joint…” According to Health Resources, the most common cause for dislocation of bones or out of joint bones is a severe blow or other VIOLENT TRAUMA to the joint. This type of trauma DID happen to Jesus when He became SIN and the WRATH of God crashed down upon Him violently. I saw the wrath of God come down upon Him violently in this vision! Both the crashing of sin into Him and the wrath of God upon Him caused every one of His bones came out of joint!! WHAT IS DISLOCATION? According to my Health Resources, “a dislocated joint occurs when the ends of bones are forced from their normal positions by being knocked out of place away from each other, usually caused by a blunt force or impact.” The physical result of dislocation is first a great deal of pain, instant bruising, swelling and disfigurement. Dislocations will are visibly out of joint or socket as the bone will be protruding and causing the skin around the dislocation to bulge. This type of pain is excruciating. There are 206 bones in the human body. Jesus said ALL His bones were out of joint. This brings the two scriptures Isaiah 52:14 & Psalm 22 together. This explains just one way Jesus’ human shape was so disfigured to the point it did not even look human anymore! I saw this in the vision. He looked like a bloody red disfigured body of flesh nailed to the cross! THERE WAS SO MUCH… BLOOD… HE WAS COVERED IN HIS OWN SHED BLOOD hanging on that cross. The flesh of His body was mutilated and raw. It looked as if He had been turned inside out. The structure of His body was disfigured. The flesh of His body was like a bloody pulp. His structure did not look like a pulp, but His actual skin/flesh did look like a bloody pulp. WHERE WAS HIS FACE? I didn’t see my Savior’s face. I saw only blood. Where was His tender skin? I saw only bloody flesh which had suffered violent mutilation of a violent slaughter!!! Where was my Lord’s hair? What hair there could have been was lost and camaflouged in the pulpy bloody mess. He hung there alive in this condition exposed to all the weather conditions as He was high and lifted up upon the Altar… the Cross. MANKIND HAS ELIMINATED FROM THE GOSPEL THE GREAT AMOUNT OF JESUS BLOOD and the disfigurement of His body and the true depth of His suffering. Are we are afraid to paint and depict the truth of His sufferings? Jesus wasn’t a handsome stud hanging on the cross with a few drops of symbolic blood on a slightly sweaty brow!! Where was His brow?? I didn’t even see His brow, because of ALL the gory blood!! Don’t talk to me about a few drops!! Perhaps most people truly do not know or believe the violence of His bloody slaughter. Maybe the truth depicted in a painting just wouldn’t look pretty enough on our walls… yet there’s a more diabolical motive in eliminating the blood of the cross and crushing of Jesus body for the sins of the world. The POWER is in the BLOOD. Satan would blind the world from this truth, because in the blood of Jesus and the cross of Jesus is the power of salvation and when preached Salvation, Revival, Signs and Wonders, Healings and Miracles follow…. The greatest of these is salvation! THE BLOOD OF JESUS NEVER DRYS UP!! His Blood always lives! Red, wet, fresh blood covered the mutilated flesh all over His body, I didn’t see dry or clotted blood anywhere… only fresh, wet, shining blood. I’ve had other visions and encounters with the Blood of Jesus and His blood is always fresh as if just shed. Jesus was covered in blood, and the cross was covered in blood, and the ground was bloody. The whole scene was bloody. Blood all over the place. Truly He was slain and not slain gently. THE CROSS WAS SHAKEN VIOLENTLY! Such was the violence against Jesus that the Cross itself was traumatized! I saw this. The cross itself was gouged, scratched, cut, marked and completely bloody. The cross itself was shaken by the traumatic and violent slaughtering of the Great Shepherd. The Cross was the place of the slaughtering of the Almighty! The Cross had to bear the slaying of the Alpha and the Omega for the salvation of the world! The cross was bloody and foreboding! The sun refused to shine at the slaying of Jesus! The earth shook and trembled as The Great Shepherd; that Mighty Lion of Judah became a tender Lamb who opened not His mouth during His violent slaughter for the sins of His wayward sheep on that Cross! The power of the cross is in what happened on the cross. What did happen exactly on that cross??? What happened on that Cross????!!! What is the depth of His suffering and His accomplishment on that Cross??!! He was offered up to God in Heaven upon the Altar Cross and the Wrath of God came down upon Jesus the Sacrifice for our sin. God’s wrath came against One who had no sin, but became sin in all its filth that we may have the remission of sins through His shed blood. Jesus Himself, the High Priest, offered Himself up upon that cross to God His Father to be slaughtered violently for our peace and our salvation. IT WAS A TIME OF DARKNESS IN THE SKIES, and storm and clouds and lightning. I saw these things and was in shock. When everyone else in church began sitting down, I was still standing up and I could only repeat in my mind, “What happened on that cross?!” I was still seeing it in the vision… stuck in it. What can human words do to explain unless there is a revelation from God Himself? God punished Jesus because of the sin which He became and which was on Him. God’s wrath, in this vision, was upon Jesus Himself as He hung there bloody upon that cross! I saw the wrath of God in this vision. I felt it. I discerned it. Who in their right spirit can say that we are not to truly fear the LORD!? People who believe that the fear of God is just a reverence are deceived and wrong and need a deeper face to face encounter with GOD!! What happened in the spiritual realm upon that cross was much more than what was manifested in the physical realm! But, even what was manifested in the physical realm made the soldiers who nailed Him there exclaim after He died, “Surely, this was the Son of God!” It is a thing that no movie, even the Passion could ever capture or fathom. It is something that only God can reveal. What happened on that cross?!!! What happened on that Cross!!??? What happened upon that cross!!!??? THERE IS MORE… I haven’t even really touched the surface of what happened on that cross to Jesus. This is just the beginning and the writings a result of what I saw in a vision in a flash. We all must continue to ponder, consider, research, examine, search, seek in prayer for revelation of the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross AND HIS RESURRECTION… after all that is salvation, the Gospel, and Christianity... For those of you who do NOT know Christ and desire Salvation… JESUS IS ALIVE. HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND OFFERS SALVATION FROM HELL TO ALL WHO ACCEPT HIM AND FOLLOW HIM. The Bible says, “Today is the Day of Salvation…” and “Seek Him while He can be found.” Ask Jesus to become the LORD of your Life and seek His face.
