TRIUMPHAL ENTRY


Today is Passover eve. I was thinking on the day Yehoshua[i] went to the Mount of Olives and was received with joy.
Now when they drew near Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Yeshua sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her.  Loose them and bring them to Me. And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, “Adonai[ii] has need of them.” All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken b y the prophet, saying: ‘Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.” Mattithyahu[iii] 21:1-4
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.”Zekharyah 9:9
Yeshua was fulfilling prophecy. Yehovah[iv] told us what to expect from our Mashiach.[v]
The disciples did what He commanded them to do and they brought the animals to him to sit on.
So the disciples went and did as Yeshua commanded them. They brought the donkey and the colt, laid their clothes on them, and set Him on them. And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; others cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out saying:
“Hosanna to the Son of David!  Blessed is He who comes in the Name of Yehovah! Hosanna in the highest! Mattithyahu 21:6-9
This took place necessarily so on the Sabbath, for Yeshua always went to the Temple on the Sabbath, not on the first day of the week, which Sunday. This is another misconception or rather false teaching to make Yehoshua been raised on a Sunday, the worship day of the sun. The Scriptures does not say which week day this happened. Either Mark 11; Luke 19:28;
The Gospel of Yochanan does not say that it was Sunday.  In chapter 12 it is written that six days before Passover Yeshua went to see Lazarus whom He raised from the dead. Then we read In Yochanan 12:12 “The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast…”  That cannot be Sunday, for Yeshua was going as the Lamb of the Sacrifice the tenth day of the first Month, and does not say which day of the week. Four days the Lamb had to chosen and kept at the family home and be inspected because had to be blames. (See Shemoth[vi] 12:3-6). Yeshua was fulfilling the type and shadow of the first Passover. The lamb had to be blameless, and inspected four days. Then killed and the blood applied (Shemot12-7).
We know Yeshua was born of the Spirit of Yehovah; He is Yehovah in flesh and blood. He was always sinless, the perfect Lamb to be sacrificed.
“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of Elohim in Him.” Qorin’tiyim 2/2 Corinthians5:21
Yeshua said the following “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law of Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” Mattithyahu 5:17
Yeshua always worship in the temple on the Sabbath, and so did this day. It was not Sunday, for He never changed the Sabbath to Sunday. He always fulfilled the Law, or better said –Torah.  Who changed the Sabbath to Sunday is the Catholic Church and they are very proud about it. They feel they have the right to change the Commandments.
Now He came into the Temple and cleansed the Temple. He could not do that on the Sunday. Anyway, we know it was four days before Passover on the 14th day of the first Biblical Month, (See Shemot 12:2) which now is called Nissan. But Yehovah did not give names to days and month, He only said, first day, day one, second day etc. and so forth.
This then was the Sabbath, and the 14th day, was a Wednesday, just as it is this year, 2020. April 8 is Passover.  Three days later rose from the dead, which was a Saturday, and not Sunday. From the day He rose from the dead we count the Omer for 49 days. The following day is the 50th day, which is Shavuot/Pentecost and is also called the Feast of Weeks. This feast was fulfilled by sending the Ruach haQodesh[vii].
I urge everyone not to make Yeshua a liar, by making Him die on Friday, and rise Sunday. Please, know one thing, Yeshua, or Yehoshua, could not lie and be our Savior. He prophesied that He would be three days and three nights buried.
When the Pharisees questioned Yehoshua, He answered them, “And evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sing of the prophet Yonah (Jonah/dove). For as Yonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man  be three days and there nights in the heart of the earth.”Mattithyahu12:39.
There also another sign about Yonah, or Dove in English.
Then Yeshua came from Galilee to Yochanan at the Yarden (Jordan) to be baptized by him. And Yochanan tried to prevent Him, saying, ‘I need to be baptized by You. And are you coming to me? But Yeshua answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he allowed Him.” When He had been baptized (immersed), Yeshua came up immediately from the water; and behold, the Heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of Elohim descending like a Yonah (dove) and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from Heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”Mattithyahu 3:13-17
Please also see Marqos/Mark 1:10
When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Yeshua was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove (Yonah in Hebrew) came upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.” Luqas/Luke 3:21-22
Why do you think that Baptism is a type of death and resurrection? Yehoshua did this Immersion not because He was a sinner, but He did it for us to see. After His death the disciples knew what it was all about it. Yonah or Jonah in English was buried in the bottom of the sea for three days and three nights. The Teaching that the churches follow on Good Friday is perversion of the truth. He died the 14th day or four days after He went into the House of the Father until He would become our Sacrifice for our sins. He is the only One who could die for us. He was without sin. Now if you do not know Him as your Passover Lamb, receive Him today.
“Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by Elohim, and afflicted. But He was wounded for ou8r transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and Yehovah has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Yeshayahu[viii] 53:4-6
Yochanan also recognized Him to be the Lamb of Elohim.
Behold the Lamb of Elohim, who takes away the sins of the world.”Yochanan1:29.
And I have seen and testified that this is the Ben Elohim (Son of God).Yochanan 1: 34
He was the priest and had to be the one to introduce Him to the brethren and all of us.
Now is the time to return to obey His Word, and stop following the traditions of men. Let us also forgive those who changed the Word to accommodate their religion. Let us walk in love and manifest the Love of Our Father In Heaven, but by all means speak truth and obey Truth. Shalom.
