Jesus is right on Time!
What is the meaning or purpose of Palm Sunday? In Christianity Palm Sunday has been referred to as the Triumphal entry of Christ as the Messiah. I would like to suggest something more significant. Did you know that the entry of Christ before the Passover celebration actually fulfilled Old Testament prophecies? In fact it is so wildly overlooked in Christianity today. In all my years being in the Christian Church I have never heard the Truth of this fulfillment. Prophecy; Daniel 9:24 "Seventy 'sevens' are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy. Seventy Sevens is 490 years. Daniel received the vision of Jesus, the most holy one(anointed), coming into Jerusalem to atone for sin. Now here is the fulfillment of Daniels prophecy; Luke 19:41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it 42 and said, "If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace-- but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side. 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls. They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God's coming to you." Notice that Jesus said they did not recognize the TIME of God’s coming. Jesus came precisely 490 years after Daniels prophecy and they did not recognize Him as the Messiah. This is significant in that Jerusalem was destroyed exactly as Jesus predicted, in 70 A.D. as a result of the Jewish people not recognizing His coming. To back that up, consider this; if the Jewish people really believed that Jesus was their Messiah would they have shouted Crucify Him just a few days after they shouted Hosanna (which means save us)? The fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies authenticates the Truthfulness of God’s Word. Thank God the Father He sent His Son Jesus to be are Passover Lamb at just the right time in History!

FOR PRETRIB RAPTURE REPEATERS
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You are now fulfilling the Bible which says "Come now, and let us repeat together."
Be sure to repeat what Walvoord, Lindsey, LaHaye, Ice etc. repeat what their own teachers repeat what their own teachers repeat etc. etc. etc.!
Repeat that Christ's return is imminent because we're told to "watch" (Matt. 24, 25) for it. So is the "day of God" (II Pet. 3:12) - which you admit is at least 1000 years ahead - also imminent because we're told to be "looking for" it?
Also repeat the pretrib myths about the "Jewish wedding stages" and "Jewish feasts" (where's your "church/Israel dichotomy" now?) even though Christ and Paul knew nothing about a "pretrib stage" and neither did any official theological creed or organized church before 1830!
You should read "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty" on the "Powered by Christ Ministries" site to find out why you shouldn't repeat everything your pretrib teachers repeat.
Do I have to repeat this?
Wow did you read something into what I posted? You did not see anything like that from this Preacher. I never have and never will believe in the pretrib. These Theologians read way to much into Scriptures and are deceiving many people with false teaching.
