 Book 2, Series 4, Psa. 69-72. The Great Tribulation. (“The Placement of the Psalms in Prophecy” by B. Anstey)
 The third class of sufferings He did not go through, except anticipatively, just at the close of His life, when He said, “I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened til it be accomplished!” (Luke 12:50). If He had been in it all the time, He would not have spoken of going through it afterward. At the close He enters into a new scene, not only in the way of expiation, but Satan comes back after he had departed for a season (Luke 4:13). He said, “Hereafter I will not talk much with you; for the prince of this world cometh.” The character of suffering is not the present forsaking of God. However, as from Him, Satan stirred up the whole world against Him; but, besides that, He brought the terribleness of distress from a broken law, the power of death, and an angry God to distress His soul. (Psalm 69 by J.N. Darby)
 The experiences described in the psalm, though applicable to others, are only fully entered into by Christ. Seeing that the experiences can be known in measure by others, it becomes plain why the sufferings stop short of atonement, with the consequent forsaking of God which Christ alone can endure, as set forth in Psalms 22. (Psalms 69 by H. Smith)
 (vv. 1-3) The opening verses present the Lord’s personal sufferings on the cross. Later in the psalm we hear of the enmity of man that was endured in the path that led to the cross. (Psalms 69 by H. Smith)
 This psalm begins the final series in the second book again taking us back into the great tribulation when the godly Jewish remnant are found suffering under Antichrist. (Book 2. by B. Anstey)
 The remnant are hated without a cause by their apostate brethren (vs. 1-6). The Lord fully enters into their sorrow. The hatred they experience from the Jewish nation was perfectly felt by Him on the cross when He was hated by the nation without a cause (Jn. 15:23-25). (Book 2. by B. Anstey)
