Palm Sunday a Prophecy
According to http://bibleistrue.net/prophecy/
the Bible contains 1,817 individual predictions (prophesies) concerning 737
separate subjects found in 8,352 verses.
As Zechariah said the Lord would come some 500 years earlier, “humble
and mounted on a donkey” (Zechariah 9:9). This prophesy came to be in Luke 19.
Isaiah 35:4-6 …say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do
not fear; your God will come with vengeance; with divine retribution He will
save you. Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf
unstopped. Then will the lame leap like deer and the mute tongue shout for joy.
Water will gush forth in the wilderness and stream in the desert.”
This prophesy from approximately 700 BC came true as well.
Jesus performed a multitude of miracles during his time on earth making it
clear he was not of this world.
In Isaiah 40 the coming of Our God was proclaimed and in Luke
3 John the Baptist humbly spoke of Jesus making himself known; “I baptize you
with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose
sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and
with fire.” Jesus did indeed come, and you know the rest.
While the crowd (referred to in scripture as disciples) shouted
for joy as He was carried into Jerusalem on the colt, Jesus wept over the city
and its impending destruction. Those who lined the street knew who Jesus really
was and what his coming meant to the world.
Though we read about the second coming of our Lord in many
books of the Bible, we cannot understand just what it will be like. We can
trust however, that it is right and true, just as all of the other
predetermined events of this world. Rest in the words and deeds of Jesus, for
He came to sacrifice His life so WE may live.
