Note 13 at Ac 2:27: This portion of Old Testament scripture from Ps 16:8-11 is a good example of how Scripture explains itself. If someone read only the scriptures from Ps 16:8-11, it would be very easy to think that David was speaking of himself. Yet Peter, under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, beautifully explained why David had to be speaking of the Messiah. Thus the Bible is a commentary on itself and forever settles that Ps 16:8-11 is Messianic.

This also gives us a clue that the term "Holy One" refers directly to Christ. This one truth will give us insight into many other Messianic scriptures (2Ki 19:22; Job 6:10; Ps 71:22, 78:41, 89:18-19; Jer 50:29, 51:5; Eze 39:7; Ho 11:9; Hab 1:12, and 3:3).

It is no coincidence that Isaiah, who had one of the clearest revelations of the Messiah in the Old Testament, used the term "Holy One" more than everyone else in the Old Testament combined (Isa 1:4; 5:19, 24; 10:17, 20; 12:6; 17:7; 29:19, 23; 30:11-12, 15; 31:1; 37:23; 40:25; 41:14, 16, 20; 43:3, 14-15; 45:11; 47:4; 48:17; 49:7; 54:5; 55:5; 60:9, and 14).

Some of Isaiah's references to the "Holy One of Israel" very clearly state that the "Holy One" is God Almighty (Isa 30:15; 41:14; 43:3, 14-15; 45:11; 48:17; and 54:5; see note 1 at Mr 1:24). This is one more piece of evidence that overwhelmingly states that Jesus is God in the flesh (1Ti 3:16).
