Why did Christ say "Eloi, Eloi Laba sabachthani?"



If Jesus Christ is God, how come he said "MY GOD MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?

Matthew 27:45 "From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over ll the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"[b]

For a long time I had this questions. Because according to the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are not three different Gods but ONE MIGHTY GOD. When I came to Church of God Wolrd Mission Society, through the teachings of Christ Ahnsahnghong, the Holy Spirit, I was able to understand the reason why Christ uttered those words. Actually nowadays a certain religious group use this verse to DECEIVE people into beleiving that Jesus is not God, let's see what the bible teaches.

In the book of Isaiah 9:6 it is written:
"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given…
HE WILL REIGN ON DAVID'S THRONE
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.


The sign to recognize God when he comes in the flesh is because He will sit on David’s throne. But actually, King David had died about 300 before Isaiah prophesied this. Therefore, this means when God comes in the flesh, the way to recognize him is because he will become the prophetical King David. Who fulfilled this?

Luke 1:31-32 “You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David”

We can see, the one who fulfilled the prophecy of King David was Jesus Christ. However, that does not answer the question why Christ uttered the words “My God My God why have you forsaken me” But it is important to understand about King David. Because through understanding about King David’s throne we can see the prophetical points that Jesus Christ had to fulfill as the Prophetical King David. Please continue to keep in touch with us, in my our next blog we will discuss more in depth this questions that many Christians have and nobody has an answer for except Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother New Jerusalem. God Bless You!
