(Eyewitness accounts always differ. We are suspicious if they don’t.) 1 - Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples ahead, 2 saying to them, “Go into the village in front of us, and immediately you’ll find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone asks you about it, say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he’ll send them at once.”

     4 This fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet, 5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you! Humble, and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.’”

     6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had told them. 7 And they brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. 8 Most of the crowd of people spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9 And the crowds that went before him, and that followed him, were shouting, “Hosanna! To the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! Hosanna in the highest!”

JOHN 12 9-19

     04/12 - GospeL Verses 

9 - When the large crowd heard Jesus was there, they came, not only on account of him but also to see Lazarus, who he had raised from the dead. 10 So the leaders (chief priests) made plans to put Lazarus to death as well, 11 because on account of him, many were going away and believing in Jesus.

     12 The next day the crowds who had come to the feast heard Jesus was approaching Jerusalem again. 13 So they took palm branches and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD, the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it’s written, 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion, behold, your king is coming! He’ll be sitting on a donkey's colt!”

     16 His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him, and had been done to him. {Coronation Day, King and Priest forever!} 17 The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to tell of it. 18 And this is why so many went to meet him because they heard he had done this miracle. 19 So those of the Pharisee party said to one another, “You see! You are gaining nothing. Look! The world has gone after him.”

They’ll need their wedding garment, truth. The bridesmaids need to be maidens.. virgins, truth virgins. For they are coming from east, west, north, south, right and left.. “Come, come to the waters.. Whosoever will”. …

     “If we could just get them into the pasture Lord! …The peaceful quiet pasture..”

     But where are the shepherds? Everybody has their bias. Come and fill out your application.. Doesn’t he say(?) “Let me write Truth in you and upon you, through and through.. Just come to the table. The other sheep do not have the answers. I have loved you with an everlasting love.. Beneath you are my everlasting arms.. He came to you daughter of Zion (humanity) riding on a colt.. He comes again.. upon a white horse.. Nations will lay down their weapons.. Every knee shall bow.. The Great Day of the LORD will have begun. It’s a long day.. Some knees won’t bend easily.. But the poor, the blind, the lame, the beaten and the abused.. Come. Let them come to the waters. Clean your slate, and give it to Me.” (Rev.7:9 and 4)
