God weaved Messianic prophecy into the fabric of history. Because He knit it, the Old and New Testament fit together like a hand in a tight glove. Psalm 16:10 is one of many remarkable examples of how the eternal Sewer threads things together.
One millennium before it happened, the inspired David predicted Jesus would rise from the grave! God has only one Holy One-His Son.
Here’s one of the many ways we can know David didn’t write Psalm 16:10 about himself. In the New Testament book of Acts, Luke the physician penned, “Now when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was buried with his ancestors and his body decayed. But the one whom God raised from the dead did not see decay. ‘Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.’” (Acts 13:36-38) If anyone could verify Jesus did not see decay after His excruciating death and burial, Luke could. The doctor beheld the resurrected Jesus.
