Read it how you will, but consider Psalm 110 and 22
(particularly verses 16-18 : a pretty clear diepiction
of Christ on the cross).
I'm not saying that the writer consciously wrote what
he knew to be prophecy. He was not a prophet in the
order of Jeremiah or Daniel. But there are clearly
passages in the Psalms that point toward Christ.

I don't think it's really accurate to say "reforming
Judaism". I think most Christians would see it more
like fulfilling Judaism. But then again, I might be
arguing semantics. I think a Jewish perspective on
this particular point would be interesting.
Anyway...don't want to perpetuate one of THOSE
threads.
