The shame of Palm Sunday

[mizzdy]

Yeshua riding into Jerusalem on the donkey was first the fulfillment of Zech. 9:9, I believe. And as He was riding into Jerusalem the Passover lamb was being inspected, picked out for its 4 day inspection which Messiah also fulfilled by teaching in the temple and being questioned by the priests.

"Palm Sunday," as we call it, was a very profound fulfillment of Scripture. ("Rejoice O daughter of Zion....")

And BigApe, you are making a huge mistake in your understanding of how many people and who were involved in Jesus' trial.

The Pharisees had Jesus arrested during a time when the majority of the population would be in their homes, thus know nothing about the trial. There is reason to believe that not even the entire Sanhedrin was in attendance. The masses in front of Pilot were gathered by the Pharisees et al who plotted against Jesus. Only a couple hundred people could fit inside that courtyard at most!The majority of the people had no idea what was going on until it was too late.

So true! It would have been in the dark hours of the morning when He was brought in, the priests would not go with Yeshua into the palace because if they had they would have become unclean and unable to partake of the Passover. We see it was still dark since there were fires still burning, the priests in charge of calling out, the 'cock crows' part of scripture shows it was very early also and of course thats what the scriptures say. The pharisees nor the saducess had any authority to put anyone on trial since rome and its rules were in force thats why they had to take Yeshua to Pilot. It was Pilot who sentenced Messiah and it was Yeshua who allowed it to happen He gave His life for us no one took if from Him.

Palm Sunday, along with every other man-made religious holiday, hurts mankind, by giving people an option, to truly being born again, by a life changing encounter with Jesus Christ.

If people are given the option of coming to know Christ because of a man-made holiday, how is that a bad thing?

I don't understand. How does that hurt mankind?

Can you expand on this Neb? Im not familiar with that (no big surprise, I have lots of gaps in scriptural knowledge lol), and Im sure we would all benefit from learning more about this.

Zechariah 9

9 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.

But a few days later, here is what those same people were crying.....

what makes you think they were the same people?

I'm 99.99999% sure that they were not

The ones crying "Hosanna!" wouldn't be allowed into the courtyard and wouldn't have been told about that "trial" in the first place. They were the people whom the Pharisees were afraid of finding out...and that's why they held the "trial" in secret and in the middle of the night.

Those in the courtyard were the leaders of the people, but not the people. They didn't want a change to the status quo. Not much has changed in that regard, it seems.
